EQ WATCH: August 14 - 25, 2019

At this point, there may or may not be any large and violent earthquake activity going on worldwide somewhere. While a magnitude 6 or greater may occur somewhere at anytime, it may hold off for now. However, there is an extremely high chance of a magnitude 7 or greater somewhere anytime within the next week. It even happen any time now. At the same time, it could delay another week or so. Potential places under the gun include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, or Sulawesi, Flores Sea), New Guinea or Papua New Guinea, East Timor/Banda Sea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand(South Island), Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Hokkaido, Honshu, Ryukyu Islands), Kamchatka Peninsula, parts of Central Asia including China, Northern India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region, potentially somewhere in the Northern Atlantic such as Svalbard, Iceland, or Reykjanes Ridge, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Central America..
Note that some of these mentioned areas of the world may be potential hosts for the next strong earthquake activity. This does not imply that all of these places could go off at once. A large quake may occur somewhere anytime now or a week or 2 weeks from now. A magnitude 7 or greater somewhere within the next week or two is highly likely. If it doesn't happen today or by Friday, it will likely be next week or perhaps the week after that.
The areas in particular that I have been concerned about recently include the Ryukyu Islands(or anywhere between Northern Taiwan and Southern Japan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(includes Eastern Turkey and Southern Greece), Central Asia(Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Northwestern China), Central America, and the Northern Mariana Islands. In terms of activity in Southern California, there is still a very high chance of magnitude 3 or greater anytime or day now. However, there may not be that much taking place for now, perhaps until this weekend or next week.
Another round of activity is due here. Something more significant could potentially be on the rise within the next 2 weeks or possibly sooner. Right now, there may be little taking place, but we are due for more activity. There is also a very high chance for more magnitude 3-4+ elsewhere in California. There could be something potentially heating up in the Mammoth Lakes area. There may also be activity increasing in other parts of the Western States including Nevada, the Yellowstone area, and/or the Pacific Northwest.
