Update: September 12, 2019

It actually looks like it is staying quiet longer than I expected before. There has not been one magnitude 6 or greater earthquake over the past week anywhere in the world. However, if it continues like this for another week, then even more large and dangerous earthquake activity is likely within 2-3 weeks. It should have started acting up by now, but it may also stay relatively uneventful for a little while longer. However, there is still a chance that could change at any time. I will be without electricity from 9 AM to 5 PM, so do not expect to see any news from me until this evening whenever everything is back up and running.
There is due to be a lot more going on anytime now in terms of large earthquakes worldwide. Regions of potential concern include: Central America, Ecuador, Colombia or Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, South Sandwich Islands, New Zealand, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, Loyalty Islands, Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan(Hokkaido, Honshu, Ryukyu Islands), Northern Mariana Islands, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Central Asia(Western China, Tajikistan, Northern India, Pakistan or Afghanistan), Iran, Turkey, Greece..
As far as more local activity is concerned, there may or may not be much else taking place here in Southern California. There is still a fairly decent chance for more mag. 3-4+ at any time. However, I will not be surprised if very little occurs today. There is due to be more significant activity in Southern California any day now. It has gotten to that point where it finally feels like the long latent period is coming to an end. If more activity flares up today, I will not be available to tweet anything due to the maintenance power outage that is expected to last for hours. There may also be more activity occurring elsewhere in California and the Western U.S. I am also aware of the activity that has been taking place in Nevada.
There may or may not be anything more significant going on there, but it is better safe than sorry when it comes to being fully aware. I'm not sure what would be next for the Pacific NW of the United States, but it is possible a significant event could occur anytime or day. This would include the Gulf of Alaska. There also may not be anything serious taking place in that region at all, but it is worth monitoring.
