And After only Four Days in Myanmar...
On November 10, 4 days ago, a M6.8 earthquake struck Myanmar (Burma). A friend of mine currently living in Bangkok happened to be in Mandalay and felt it strongly. It is interesting to compare the changes in forecast contours for this region after only 4 days to the contours from Guatemala as described in the previous posting.
For the Myanmar (Burma) area, the epicenter of the quake is shown by the orange arrow. Clear changes in contours can already be seen in the region after only 4 days (red boxes). Recall that the contours are for M>6.5 earthquakes over the next year.
