Update: 6:45pm Eastern Time

Earthquake Watch Score: 5. In reality it doesnt matter if the watch today is 2 or 6, we may have some more large quakes on the ring of fire – the signals are still there… but the major watch appears to be just a few days away, provided it keeps its power.

Solarwatching Note: Filaments are the lone concern, recommend SDO/AIA 193 or 211
