For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. Basic law of nature. Although the IRIS EQ site is very slow in updating, I like it because you can see some definite patterns develop, and what I have seen in the last few years, is a pattern of EQ saturation the eastern edge of the ring of fire, creeping north to Japan and Alaska, south to Chile and up through South America to Mexico and Baja. I think these energies are going to meet in Washington eventually.
