A major quake period has unfolded off the back of some patchy spaceweather.
The period may continue with stronger spaceweather due 26 June.
Two Mag 7 quakes in under a week is very unusual for 2020 where quakes are infrequent and low magnitude during Solar Minimum.
The Oaxaca 7.4 has caused a lot of damage and taken a handful of lives.
Three Mag 5.9 quakes, including Milford Sound came in just a few hours.
The Honshu 5.9 was in a risk location from the previous forecast.
The Western USA 2020 quake trend continues with the Lone Pine 5.8, near to the 2019 Ridgecrest 7.1 and the big US Navy Airbase at China Lake.
Volcanos continue to be hot and more eruptions seem likely from 26 June.
Eruptions typically follow quakes and the next few days could be very volcanic.
