We should be seeing at least one 7.5 or so for the end of the week and
maybe another in the middle of the next spell. Something of the sort
of chain that took place with the event at Xinchiang:

OK, now the storms should stop (what little they were.)

And we can get on with the next part of the spell. The next "phase",
as it were.
Pity I have forgotten what that is.

I left this out f the equations too:

CVGHM reported that seismicity from Anak Krakatau increased during
14-21 April; the number of events per day peaked on 20 April. Ash
plumes accompanied by propelled incandescent rocks were noted during
field observations on 16, 17, and 18 April.

The eruption affected the summit and the E and S flanks. Booming
noises were reported and occasionally heard at an observation post 42
km away. The Alert Level was raised to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) on 21
April.

CVGHM reported that seismicity from Ibu increased during 6-14 April
and remained elevated during 15-20 April. Plumes described as
"eruption smoke" rose to altitude of 1.8-2.1 km (5,900-6,900 ft)
a.s.l. during 12-21 April and were gray during 18-21 April.

The Alert Level was increased to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) on 21 April.
Residents and tourists were not permitted within 2 km of the crater.

Which as it happens is something like 45 degrees from the Xinjiang
region. What was it that was 45 degrees from somewhere interesting
last time?

Unfortunately I need a pedant to follow in my footsteps. I just can't
keep track of things. Pity I can't stand the buggers. They might make
excellent meteorologists and astronomers but they spoil any science
they are given charge of.
