Update: Oct. 9, 2019

So far, there is still little going on in terms of any significant earthquake activity in the world. It may stay quiet for another entire week or it could suddenly act up somewhere at any moment. It has been more than a week since the last magnitude 6 or greater and more than a month since the last magnitude 7 or greater. If it stays stagnant like this through the rest of the week, then a lot more is bound to happen within the next 1-2 weeks at the longest at this point. Regions that may be under the gun include: Celebes Sea, Molucca Sea, Banda Sea, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Talaud Islands, or Halmahera), New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand(North Island), Philippines(Mindanao, Luzon), Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands, Izu, or Volcano Islands), Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Central America, Peru, Chile, Argentina, South Sandwich Islands region, Greece, Turkey, Caspian Sea region, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Northern India, Myanmar, Andaman Islands region..
Those are all the potential candidates for the next round of significant to major earthquake activity in the world. Something major could strike somewhere anytime today, tomorrow, or next week. I also will not be too surprised if it does not act up significantly by next week either. I have seen gaps between mag. 7+ as long as 3-5 months over the last 2 years. However, I strongly doubt that it will be that much longer. Southern California could be having more significant activity around the corner. Right now, more mag. 4+ could take place here anytime now or within the next week. There also still could be more mag. 4+ aftershocks near Ridgecrest and more noticeable activity in other parts of California and the West.
