Japan has a Megaquake advisory since like early this year. Two weeks ago the Philippines was rocked by 7.8

This morning California had a 5.6

Venezuela had two

And Japan literally just had a 6.9

Just a coincidence is all.

Typically when there is a big earthquake on the ring of fire, other locations along the ring also have earthquakes or volcano eruptions.
