As a general rule I like to follow what I call “Earthquake Resultants” from whenever any big windstorm such as a hurricane, typhoon, cyclone, or in todays case Tropical Storm Fay make landfall. Today the story is the landfall on July 10, 2020 of Tropical Storm Fay near Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Several reports of wind speeds include the original forecast of 75 with gusts up to 90, and two reports after landfall at 47 actual, 60 gusts actual and 44 wind, 53 gusts also actual from somewhere in New Jersey, and one at 48mph from Kennedy Airport in New York.
When Hurricane Irene made landfall at Puerto Rico on August 11, 2011 it came to precede the 5.8 Virginia Earthquake of August 23, 2011 which damaged the Washington Monument. Today not nearly the winds of Hurricane Irene, but methinks worthy of mention in this Official Prediction now being sent to the National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, NEPEC, (Copied to California Council, CEPEC, too)
Probably going to simply be just another much smaller New Jersey sized shaker, although I’ve put the range at 2.5 up to 5.2 and not always even sure a New Jersey Earthquake won’t just be more like a 2.1 there.
I’ve now carefully plotted along the line Tropical Storm Fay tracked northward through New Jersey and New York and came up with the names Patterson, and Hackensack, New Jersey, and the Catskills Region of New York for what I believe should or could be about the epicenter on this upcoming 2.5 to 5.2 Richters Earthquake due to strike very soon in this region.
Again, I feel it’s at best worthy of submission to the Councils that Patterson and Hackensack, New Jersey, and the Catskills Region of New York might expect a smallish earthquake in the range of 2.5 up to a 5.2 to strike before about August 15, 2020 and with this alert beginning at any moment as this new Official Prediction is being sent!!!
