Maybe now that they have shut off the Deepwater Horizon gusher the pressure below ground will be building up along the Mississipi River Faultlines.
just a thought
Maybe the whole East Coast and Caribbean

I didn't see this new one posted on here, but apologies if it was:

Looking at the USGS map of Europe, does it seem odd to have so much activity? I am not an expert in any way, but I have been going daily to the USGS site for a while, and I can't remember so much activity, spread out the way it is. Not fear mongering here about anything bad, just curious about the activity. Active solar region related?

The USGS doesn't do under 4.5 for outside the USA, so what you see is only part of what is going on.
The Aegean and Turkey are pretty active areas, if you are really interested in Europe this site is better for watching.
www.emsc-csem.org...

BTW the they put that quake at 5.1mb

I did a map of the aftershocks from the 11/7 Wairoa, New Zealand quake, the list on the left is sorted by date.
22 aftershocks is quite a few for a 5.3ML

Wairoa (Waiau River Valley) aftershock map

While not completely without quake activity still odd

No tsunami from Alaska quake expected:

wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov...

To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 07/17/2010 at 10:01PM AKDT A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas. Based on the earthquake magnitude, location and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. Some of these areas may experience non-damaging sea level changes. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides. At 9:57 PM Alaskan Daylight Time on July 17, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.7 occurred 40 miles/64 Km southwest of Nikolski, Alaska . (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.) Pacific coastal regions outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska should refer to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center messages for information on the event. This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave was generated.)

That is a quite interesting event because it was followed by a quake in Nevada just around one hour later.

Darn it about 15 minutes after I went to bed.

I must have words with someone and get these rescheduled.
