EQ WATCH: July 31 - August 10, 2019

More large earthquake activity worldwide is likely on the rise now. A magnitude 6.6 just occurred in the Vanuatu region. There is an extremely high chance of magnitude 7 or higher worldwide any moment now or within the next 7-10 days at this point. Regions to watch out for include: Greece/Eastern Mediterranean Sea region, Western Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, possibly Western China, Myanmar, Andaman Islands region, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi) Molucca Sea and Flores Sea region, East Timor, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines(Mindanao, Luzon), Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Loyalty Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido, Ryukyu Islands), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka peninsula, Aleutian Islands(AK), Central America(especially El Salvador), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina..
Almost all of the listed regions are places that are active quite often and have experienced a number of large quakes in recent years. I'm eyeing Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region now. There has been more activity than usual taking place there lately. This may include Eastern Turkey. Major metropolitan areas would include Athens and Istanbul. A large quake may also not happen at all there. It is just a place of possible concern at this point.
In terms of activity in Southern California, so far, more or less. More mag. 3-4+ is due here anytime or within the next week or two. Something more significant could be around the corner. However, there have been 4-6 hour gaps between mag. 1+ EQs here in Southern California South of the Tehachapi Mountains. The activity here has been somewhat low this week, but it could ramp back up again at any time.
There also could potentially be more sizeable aftershocks in the Little Lake sequence anytime now or later into the weekend. There could also be more activity taking place in the Pacific Northwest as well as Southern Nevada.

EQ WATCH: July 21 - 31, 2019

There is now a heightened chance for magnitude 6-7 or greater worldwide somewhere within the next week or anytime now. There are currently more signs of significant activity taking place in some active regions of the world. Regions to watch include: Northern Mariana Islands(Guam), Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Indonesia, Central Asia(Tajikistan, Afghanistan, or Pakistan region), Myanmar(Burma), Andaman and Nicobar Islands region, Japan, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, potentially New Zealand(North Island), Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Central America, possibly the coast anywhere from Northern California to British Columbia, Aleutian Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Kuril Islands, Southern Greece..
The aftershock sequence has died down here in California considerably. That does not mean there will not be anymore significant earthquakes here for a while. It could still start up again. There is also due to be more magnitude 4+ in Southern California(not related to the Ridgecrest Sequence) anytime now or within the next week or two. There may also be more seismic activity taking place elsewhere in the Western U.S. such as Nevada, Montana, or Idaho.

EQ WATCH: July 11-12, 2019

So far, there is an extremely high chance of more large earthquakes worldwide any moment now or within the next week. A magnitude 6.0 struck the Papua New Guinea region earlier and more strong EQs may be on the rise somewhere in parts of the world. Regions of concern include: Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Central Asia, Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, potentially New Zealand, Philippines, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands, South Sandwich Islands region, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Central America..
Meanwhile, there may still be more activity taking place here in California. The Little Lake sequence has been dying down in terms of bigger aftershocks, but the area is not out of the woods yet. There is still a potential for more significant aftershocks anytime or day now. There may not be that much activity taking place elsewhere in California, but there is a high potential for magnitude 3-4+ in Southern California any moment now, this weekend, or next week.

EQ Advisory: July 7-8, 2019

There continues to be aftershocks from Friday's magnitude 7.1 near Ridgecrest and Trona. A magnitude 6.9 occurred in the Molucca Sea region earlier, prompting a tsunami warning to be issued. There is still a very high chance for more major earthquake activity worldwide. Areas of concern include Indonesia, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region, Philippines, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Central Asia, Central America, Chile, Peru, Tonga, Fiji, Santa Cruz Islands, Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the coast of British Columbia.. There is still a potential for strong aftershocks in California. There might also be more activity taking place in Southern California unrelated to the Little Lake sequence. There is an extremely high likelihood of a magnitude 4 or higher quake somewhere South of the Tehachapi Mountains any moment now or within the week ahead at this point. Numerous tiny quakes are popping up all over Southern CA in addition to the Little Lake sequence.
