Update: September 9, 2019

I apologize that I keep changing my alert mode icon on Twitter. I've been tweaking it and I'm now satisfied with what I have now. Anyway, the glowing red icon is on again. I will be damned if another week goes by without any large tectonic events anywhere in the world. On average, there is one major earthquake(Magnitude 7+) somewhere in the world per month. The last magnitude 7 and above was on July 14th. However, it was close to that with a magnitude 6.9 on August 2nd. There is still due to be a lot of significant activity going on worldwide at any moment or day at this point. A magnitude 7 or higher somewhere this week or next week is once again highly likely.
A major quake could occur somewhere anytime today or tomorrow or sometime this week or perhaps next week at the latest so far. Regions to watch out for include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Flores Sea, Molucca Sea, Halmahera), Philippines(Luzon, Mindanao), Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Santa Cruz Islands, possibly New Zealand(North Island), Andaman Islands region, Myanmar, China(Sichuan, Yunnan), Northern India, Pakistan, Southern Iran, Western Turkey, Greece, possibly Italy, Chile, Peru, Colombia or Venezuela, Central America...
There has also been a lot disturbance going on in Central Africa(Western Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eastern Uganda, Eastern Tanzania, and Western Angola). That could be an area of further concern. Although it also may not have anything else larger happening there, it is better safe than sorry. Africa may not be a continent that has frequent significant earthquakes, but it is capable of having big ones. In 1966, a magnitude 6.8 occurred in Western Uganda which killed 157 people. The earthquake occurred in the Mt. Rwenzori region which is the most seismically active region in Uganda.
It lies in the Western Rift Valley of the East Africa Rift System. In 2005, an earthquake of the same magnitude hit that same region which resulted in 6 casualties. Closer the home, more seismic activity is also showing signs of heating up again in Southern California. There may be more magnitude 3-4+ taking place anytime now or within the next week. Something larger than magnitude 4 is also of a stronger possibility in the coming days or weeks. The Little Lake sequence could also start pumping more magnitude 4 or greater aftershocks. It may not act up much more, but there still could be more taking place up there. There may also be mag. 3-4+ EQs taking place in Central California and the Bay area. I'm also still monitoring the Pacific NW coast in case something more significant occurs there.
