Update: Feb. 22, 2019

A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred 71 miles ESE of Palora, Ecuador overnight. Yesterday was relatively uneventful. The last major earthquake in the world was before New Year's Eve. Before calling it quits last night, I advised(via Twitter) that while there was little significant activity taking place globally at the moment, there was still a chance something big could happen somewhere overnight or by the next morning.
While there is still the potential for more dangerous activity elsewhere, that may be it for now. At this point, it looks like there will be these little big spurts - a single large earthquake between intervals - over the next several weeks. However, more strong earthquakes may also be imminent somewhere else in the world anytime or day now. As of right now, there is little taking place all over. The potential regions that could be hit next include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Halmahera, Sulawesi), East Timor region, the Flores Sea, Banda Sea, Molucca Sea, New Guinea and Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, Loyalty Islands, New Zealand(possibly), Guam, Northern Mariana Islands region, Philippines(Mindanao, Luzon), Taiwan, Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido, Izu Islands, Bonin Islands, Ryukyu Islands), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands or potentially Southern Alaska, Andaman Islands region, Myanmar(Burma), the Hindu Kush region, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, South Sandwich Islands region, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Central America and Southern Mexico. Western Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(including Greece) has been recently showing signs of becoming more violently active. A powerful earthquake could potentially strike the region anytime within the next 3-4 weeks. However, it also might not happen. I'm taking this to a higher level where I'm attempting to determine the exact areas that could be the next potential candidates for the next round of large quakes within the next 2-3 months. The regions in particular that I'm focusing on now include: Atacama, Chile, Central Turkey(as well as Western Turkey and/or Greece), Northeastern Pakistan and the vicinity, potentially the Himalayas, parts of the Philippines such as Mindanao and/or Luzon, Guam, Micronesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands, Ryukyu Islands(Japan), the Alaska Peninsula and the Kodiak Island region, possibly the coast from Washington to British Columbia, and Central America(Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, or the Chiapas region of Mexico). As of right now, there is not very much interesting activity taking place here in Southern California. I cannot say whether we could get hit by a strong earthquake within the next 4 weeks or not. Something can suddenly spring up on us at anytime. I've been sort of playing hit-or-miss here. There is a chance more could take place this week in terms of more magnitude 4+, but it could hold off for another 2 weeks. It may be becoming more active here this spring so far. A magnitude 5 or higher anytime soon is definitely not out of the question. It could even happen any day now.
There was a magnitude 4.0 near Ludlow 2 weeks ago, but there has not been any magnitude 3 or higher since - at least anywhere South of the Garlock Fault. There is definitely a high chance of more magnitude 3 or greater this weekend or within the next week so far. More activity is warming up again so far. There may also be more noticeable activity popping up elsewhere in California and the Western U.S. including Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. The activity is changing everywhere all the time, so I keep consistent updates on Twitter. I always share the link at the end of every blog post: https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

February 17-18, 2019

The potential for major earthquake activity occurring worldwide any moment now or sometime within the next 7 days is extremely high again. There has not been any earthquakes of magnitude 7 and above this year yet. While there might be a major quake somewhere at any time or any day, it may also remain relatively quiet for another week or so. There is due to be a lot taking place in various regions worldwide. Potential candidates include: Papua New Guinea, the Philippines(Mindanao), Molucca Sea region, East Timor, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Halmahera), Burma(Myanmar), China(Xizang, Yunnan, or Qinghai), Tajikistan region, possibly Nepal, Hindu Kush Mountains, Pakistan, Iran or the Azerbaijan region, Turkey, Greece, New Zealand, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands region, the Samoas, Santa Cruz Islands region, Fiji, Mariana Islands, Taiwan, Japan, Kuril Islands, Southern Alaska and/or the Aleutian Islands, South Sandwich Islands, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Central America, Southwestern Mexico...
There may also possibly be a significant earthquake striking somewhere in the Caribbean Sea such as Puerto Rico, Haiti, or the Barbados region. However, there also might not be anything serious going on there at all. The chances of more magnitude 3-4 or higher in Southern California any time or day now are very high again. A more significant event may also be in the horizon at this point. There also might be more noticeable activity taking place in Central and Northern California as well as other portions of the West. There could also be more noticeable activity occurring in the Central or Western U.S. or Canada. At this point, there is due to be a lot of strong earthquake activity taking place in the world. There is also due to be more earthquakes in Southern California. I will keep the world posted here: https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

February 1-2, 2019

There has more or less been a lot of significant activity taking place worldwide most recently. There was a magnitude 6.6 earthquake on the border between Chiapas, Mexico and Guatemala earlier today. More moderate earthquakes started increasing elsewhere, especially in the Northern Mariana Islands region which has been an area of particular concern most recently. There is still an extremely high chance of magnitude 7 or greater somewhere worldwide anytime now or within the next 7 days at this point. It could also delay up to 2 weeks at this point.
Places that may be hit include the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia, Philippines(Mindanao), the Molucca Sea region, Banda Sea region, East Timor, Indonesia(Sulawesi, Flores Sea region, Java, Sumatra), Burma(Myanmar), China(Xizang), Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan region, Hindu Kush region, Afghanistan or Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, New Guinea region, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, Loyalty Islands, New Zealand(North Island or South Island), Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, or Guatemala, Southern Mexico, possibly Southern Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Taiwan, Japan(Hokkaido, Honshu, Izu Islands, Ryukyu Islands), Kuril Islands..
So far, there has been more seismic activity increasing in Southern California over the past few days. Two magnitude 3-pointers hit the area this week and there still might be more on the way within the week. A magnitude 4 or higher is due at any time around here. There also might be more activity increasing elsewhere in the state as well as other areas of the West including the Pacific Northwest Coast, Nevada, and the Yellowstone area or Utah. There could be more activity here in Southern California at any time or this weekend, yet it could also hold off again for now. I will keep you all posted via Twitter: https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1
