A noteworthy 5.1 magnitude earthquake has struck Northern California near Mount Shasta volcano, directly at Trinity Lake Dam.
The Northern California earthquake directly followed an even larger 6.8M which struck just minutes before off the coast of Alaska.
The Alaska earthquake was just a few hours after a large unexpected volcanic blast from a volcano in South Japan. The Japan blast, the Alaska earthquake, and this California earthquake all occurred within less than 12 hours time...
NW comments:
For reasons unknown, the 5.1 tremor in Northern California does not yet appear on the USGS or CSEM / EMSC websites, while the quake shows up on the Global Incident Map website, as seen below

Also notice that all of California and parts of Arizona and Nevada are greyed out (data unavailable) on this HAARP Status Report map for May 29th, while Texas and much of the Gulf Coast display the highest reading (color-coded purple).
