The Ring of Fire is known for its seismic and volcanic activity caused by friction between shifting tectonic plates.”
What is missing from the above list? California. It has been too quiet. Mysteriously, the largest pod of dolphins ever seen was spotted off the coast of San Diego, apparently leaving the area! I suspect that some seismic event is looming immediately for California. Possibly Oregon and Washington as well. The US West Coast is the only spot in the Pacific Ring of Fire that is stuck and not moving. Not a good sign. When it finally does go, it will be a doozy!
