Significant magnitude 5.2 quake hit 87 km southwest of San Salvador. The earthquake occurred very close to where an M6.1 earthquake occurred last August 28, so it could be an aftershock. Central America has recorded several M4+ and M5+ earthquakes in recent weeks. While the southeast of Mexico has only had light M4+ earthquakes. For some analysts this is worrying because a response of M5.8 has occurred to the south in Panama but not to Mexico. Thus, in the next few days such a response could occur with a magnitude of 5.7 or in the worst case M6+.
M6.5 quake in Canada occurred along the Queen Charlotte fault. The Queen Charlotte Triple Junction is a geologic triple junction where three tectonic plates meet: the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate, and the Explorer Plate. The three plate boundaries which intersect here are the Queen Charlotte Fault, the northern Cascadia subduction zone, and the Explorer Ridge.
The area further offshore from this quake based on history is basically due for a major major quake along the Cascadia Fault.
If the Cascadia Fault generates a quake with the intensity of it's last one it will be a disaster for the Pacific northwest and the Vancouver area:

The energy from this earthquake M6.5 in Canada will move toward Alaska and into California and Baja California. Let's wait and see.
So far this has been the result of planetary and lunar geometries.
