5.8 Earthquake Hits Near Downtown Los Angeles -Also-

Although this 5.8 moderate quake is certainly something to be concerned about; but this may be only the beginning of something more.
Reports of damage or injuries are not yet established. Power and phone line outages have occurred. More is coming in over the wires. The quake's epicenter was about 2 miles southwest of Chino Hills and about 5 miles southeast of Diamond Bar, the USGS said. Chino Hills is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The center was about 7.6 miles deep. Stay Tuned for Updates -----
**Several aftershocks have occurred measuring between 2.7 and 3.8. More are likely.
Could this event be part of unfolding events occurring along the 'ring of fire'? I continue to keep a vigilant eye on the "Cascadia Subduction Zone". This is where the largest and most dangerous seismic event will likely occur. Magnitudes of 9.0 or larger are expected sending a large tsunami across the Pacific.

**Does this fit the scenario of catastrophic earth changing events as it relates to Full 'Solar' and 'Lunar' events? Only time will tell.

Volcanoes Present More Imminent Danger
Although earthquakes are certainly at the top of all emergency managements list; but volcanoes are not far behind. I am more concerned with recent volcanic events in Northern and Central America which may progress to full eruptions.
I will list below current volcanoes which have just recently erupted at low to moderate levels. Any one of them could produce a massive explosion.
(July 29) Dome Collapses at Montserrat Volcano; Ash Blasts into Stratosphere
MONTSERRAT - Volcano monitors say the Caribbean's Montserrat volcano has blasted a column of ash some 12 kilometers high into the sky. The director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory says last night's collapse of a dome at the crater sent bursts of volcanic material sweeping down into the island's abandoned former capital of Plymouth and the sea.

ECUADOR - Reventador volcano in eastern Ecuador has begun spewing lava and has shot a column of ash high into the air. Experts at Ecuador's Geophysics Institute say recent activity does not yet call for an immediate evacuation.
(July 28) Two Alaskan Volcanoes Erupt, One In Chile Being Watched
ALASKA - Two volcanoes in Alaska are still erupting, while one in Chile that erupted on Saturday has stopped, although another one threatens to erupt again. In Alaska both Mount Cleveland and the Okmok volcano are erupting, but seismic activity at the Okmok decreased Sunday after more activity was recorded beginning on Friday. While in Chile, the Llaima volcano erupted on Saturday, then stopped, while the Chaitén volcano there could be ready to erupt again.
(July 26) Chilean Authorities Worried About Eruptive Activity at Two Southern Volcanoes
CHILE - The Llaima volcano, one of Chile's most active, erupted again on Saturday, sending a stream of lava down its slope and spewing a long plume of ash, authorities said. At the same time, the Chaiten volcano rumbled once again and could be preparing for another eruption, according to a Chilean volcanologist.
(July 26) Volcano Alert Up To Code Red
ALASKA - Okmok volcano's alert level went up to code red-warning status early Friday afternoon. The volcano blew more ash into the air at midday. Pilots reported ash to 40,000 feet, with satellite data confirming the cloud.
