Swarm of Moderate Quakes Hits North of 2004 Tsunami
Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
A swarm of moderate earthquakes have hit north of the 2004 tsunami near Andaman Islands, Indian Ocean. The quakes measured from 5.2 - 4.5 magnitude. This event has set off alarms in the geological community due to its location which sits along the Sumatra-Andaman Subduction Zone.

This is defiantly an area to watch closely. Although many would suggest this could be the precursor to a large event, one which would fit the July 22nd full solar eclipse window, I continue to be wary of the less publicized areas of the 1) Cascadia Subduction Zone, and the 2) Puerto Rico Trench.
I would suggest it is for the very reason of the 2004 event, that I think it less likely to produce another mega-event. When such large quakes occur, it releases tectonic pressure making it less porn to build pressure rapidly. But as always when it comes to mother-nature -- only time will tell the tale.
