Observed: M 4.6 – 86km SSW of Hunter Island, New Caledonia 2020-04-10 14:46:09 (UTC) 23.145°S 171.807°E 47.8 km depth. Located 74km/119mls from forecast center point.

Note: The quake is not the energy I am looking for, it is too deep down in the trench near a depth of 5700 meters/19000 feet and too weak of energy. % days left. And thank you Lester for following my work. 🙂 This area is easy to forecast, actually all these Island Nations are fairly easy. I’m only struggling to forecast difficult and sleepy slow North America because I live there. LOL And I want to follow this energy to see if it rolls up and around to Alaska and beyond. If it heads west, then I will stop and look for another candidate to follow.

Status: Forecast remains unchanged at M 5.7 to 6.7 418km/260mls east of New Caledonia Island 2020-04-09 to 2020-04-15 22°20’12.31″S 171° 4’10.84″E radius 323kk/200mls.

Observed: MANY deep earth quakes “down stream” from this area. Activity larger then those should pass through the watch area and larger surrounding area.

Extending time for the full 14 day window 2020-04-09 through 2020-04-23.
