5.0 Richters Shakes Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico with Lots of Felt Reports and Aftershocks!!!

Although there did not seem to be quite so many aftershocks as there might have been, and it remains possible they could still get something major out of this, yet, since the nearby Great Haiti Earthquake was probably a quite similar response to the same sort of severe winter conditions. Here is the link to the entire felt report as of this morning: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/03/50-in-dominican-republicpuerto-rico.html

AND here is the list as of this writing of mostly the biggest of aftershocks, assuming there were many more not in the range to be posted, however I am not sure of the exact number of these totaled:
(COMPLETE UPDATED AFTERSHOCK LIST AT ABOVE LINK)
3.9 79km NE of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 2014-03-07 00:16:21
2.7 108km NNE of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 2014-03-06 22:54:07
2.7 113km NNE of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 2014-03-06 22:51:19
4.6 83km NE of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 2014-03-06 15:56:45

It appears there is a lot of tectonic plate movement now going on around the North American Tectonic Plate and one of the things that I did not do up to this point is travel the straight line from the King City Vortex all the way down and through Oklahoma and out into like the Caribbean where that could be connected to all that is going on right now at Dominican Republic. I will have all of that information in later EQ Blogs but for today, be aware that the earthquake result or possible one, from the landfall of the King City Vortex could run all of the way into the Carolinas, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and that region. Might have to watch the Richmond, Virginia Region as well.

This shaker could go as big as 6.5 if it strikes California so continue to watch Parkfield, Coalinga, and Lone Pine and be prepared, California!!! Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy
