Update: New Year's Eve

Just as I had suspected a couple of days ago, it looks like very little significant activity may be going on in the world for now. I speculated that it could end up becoming extremely quiet before it becomes heavily active. This could last on into next week or it could dramatically change today, tonight, or tomorrow. There should be much more to come within the next week or two. A magnitude 7 or greater is likely to strike somewhere in the world within the next two weeks so far.
Places that could be impacted by strong to major earthquake activity include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Halmahera, Pulau), East Timor, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Japan(Bonin Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, or Kyushu), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, possibly the coast of British Columbia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Andaman Islands, China(Xinjiang, Xizang, Sichuan, or Yunnan), Pakistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Greece, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Central America, and possibly the Puerto Rico Trench..
I'm still having a strong feeling a possible magnitude 8 or greater may occur any day now or sometime within the month. I have been growing increasingly concerned about the Puerto Rico Trench. That is capable of a massive tsunamigenic earthquake. I imagine that it is the very last thing residents of Puerto Rico want to think about as Hurricane Maria happened in the not-so-distant past. It made living conditions horrible. A major earthquake may also not occur at all, but it is again, better safe than sorry.
There may still be a lot more seismic activity heating up in Southern California this week and/or next week. There is still an extremely high chance of magnitude 4 or greater around here. There is still a chance more could be taking place in parts of Central and/or Northern California. There may also be some more seismic activity heating up in the Yellowstone area - a possible swarm getting ready to unfold. There have been some more very small quakes popping up around there.

EQ WATCH Update: 12/29/19

At this point, it may become very quiet around the world before a lot of significant activity starts up. I would call it standby. However, a major earthquake still could strike any minute somewhere. At the same time, I will not be surprised if very little takes place for right now or even tomorrow. It could end up being a week before a large quake occurs somewhere. There is due to be a lot more big earthquake activity within the next week or two.
It still should be acting up more in Southern California. There has not been a magnitude 4 or bigger anywhere South of the Garlock Fault or North of the border with Mexico in a long time. We are due.

Outlook: Dec. 29, 2019

There is a lot of activity going on in the world right now for sure. However, a major earthquake somewhere in the world may or may not occur today or tomorrow or perhaps even this week. The chances of one at any moment are still great. There is still a very high potential for a possible magnitude 8 or greater somewhere. At this point, there will likely be major earthquake activity any moment now or sometime within the next week or two. Great earthquakes(magnitude 8+) happen in the world at least once a year. At this point, it may be early in 2020 or possibly within the next couple of days.
The Kamchatka Peninsula region and the Western Aleutian Islands could be candidates for an earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater at any time. The coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska could still possibly having something more serious going on. I'm just now starting to become more concerned about the Pacific Northwest coast(from Northern California to Washington). I'm not necessarily implying that the Cascadia subduction zone is going to rupture right now or very soon, but I am monitoring it just in case. I am aware that a very large earthquake is due somewhere in the world at any moment.
The Southwestern Pacific(Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands, the Samoas, and the Solomon Islands) could also be a candidate for the next major quake. Halmahera and Java, Indonesia may be having some more serious activity going on any time or day now. East Timor, Papua New Guinea, the Andaman Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands are also candidates. It could also be Hokkaido's turn for a major event any time now or sometime very soon. Central America, Colombia, and possibly the Puerto Rico region are possible areas of concern as well. Greece and/or Western Turkey could be having something more significant.
I also have been paying more attention to Central Asia recently again. As for here(Southern California), there has been more activity heating up so far. Right now, there may be nothing going on, but more magnitude 4 or greater earthquakes are due to take place at any moment. A magnitude 4 or higher could happen somewhere in Southern California today, tomorrow, later this week or next week. We are even due for something more significant within weeks, months, or possibly a few days. I will just have to play it by ear. There could be more mag. 3-4+ in the Ridgecrest area. I have also been growing more concerned about Central California, especially the Parkfield region.
A strong earthquake in the area in the near future may be of a higher possibility. Again, no one can know for sure. It is just an area we may have to be aware of. I think about that in the future and it eventually triggering the Southernmost segment of the SAF here. I'm really just speculating at this point.

EQ WATCH: Dec. 28 - January 6th, 2019

The potential for major earthquake activity worldwide any moment now or sometime within the coming week is extremely high now so far. A major earthquake may be imminent somewhere. There could even be a particularly large earthquake on the verge of striking at any time. Potential candidates for the next round of significant earthquake activity include: Indonesia(Java, Halmahera, Kepulauan Barat Daya, Sumatra), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Andaman Islands, Central Asia, Turkey, Greece, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Kamchatka peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Tonga, the Samoas, Solomon Islands, South Sandwich Islands, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Central America...
There is also the possibility of something large taking place in the Puerto Rico region. There could also still be a more serious event taking place along the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska. Here in Southern California, more activity started heating up this morning. A magnitude 3.3 struck near Brea at 9:23 this morning.
 There may be much more on the way, perhaps by new years. A magnitude 4 or bigger could still take place any moment now. There could also be more activity taking place in other parts of California such as the Ridgecrest area. There could possibly be something going on up near Parkfield. There is also has been more activity taking place off the Pacific Northwest coast. That is another area I'm starting to watch at this point.

EQ WATCH: Dec. 23 - 30th, 2019

The chances of mag. 6-7+ worldwide any moment now or sometime within the week are extremely high. There is some serious activity taking place off the coast of British Columbia, Canada and the Gulf of Alaska so far. It is an area of concern at this point. A magnitude 6.0 just occurred there and there is the possibility of a much larger tremor any moment or day now. However, there also may not be anything bigger going on there, but it is better safe than sorry. Other regions to watch out for include: Central Asia(Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran), Turkey, Greece, Andaman Islands region, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Kepulauan Barat Daya, Halmahera), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Izu Islands), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Central America, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Tonga, Solomon Islands..
There is a potential for concern in the Aleutian Islands as well as mainland Alaska. There could be a volcanic eruption occurring there. 2 volcanoes are at level orange which means that it is on alert. Cleveland is at yellow which means an advisory. There is still a very high potential for more earthquakes in Southern California any time or day now. Magnitude 4+ quakes are due to strike here anytime now or within the next week. There may also be more activity taking place elsewhere around the state, including the Ridgecrest area, Mammoth, and Northern California.

EQ WATCH: Dec. 21 - 29, 2019

The chances of magnitude 6-7+ are heating up again so far. There may be more strong and potentially dangerous earthquake activity taking place somewhere anytime now within the next 5-7 days. There may not be that much taking place right now, but so far, the chances are soaring again. Regions that may be impacted include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Flores Sea, or Halmahera), Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Izu Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Kyushu, Honshu, or Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula or the Aleutian Islands, Central America, Peru, Chile, South Sandwich Islands, possibly the North Island of New Zealand, Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Andaman Islands, possibly Central Asia again(There was a magnitude 6.1 in Afghanistan the other day).
There is still a high chance for more activity going on here in Southern California any time or day now. Magnitude 4 or greater earthquakes this week are possible. There could even be a magnitude 3 or 4 or bigger today or tomorrow around here. It could be in the Mojave Desert, the Inland Empire, far South around the Salton Sea, or in the Greater Los Angeles area. More activity within the coming week or by New Year's is expected.
There also could be more acting up near Ridgecrest and there still may be more activity taking place elsewhere in California and/or parts of the West including the Pacific Northwest.

Dec. 15, 2019

Hours ago, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck Mindanao, Philippines. Unfortunately, there was a casualty and it was a child. There is still a very high potential for more large quakes worldwide anytime now or any day now. A magnitude 7 or greater may occur somewhere at any moment or within the next week. Regions that are potential candidates for the next big earthquake include: Japan(Izu Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands, Philippines, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Kepulauan Babar region, Halmahera), Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, the Samoas, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Loyalty Islands, Andaman Islands region(North of Sumatra, Indonesia), Myanmar, China(Xinjiang, Sichuan, Yunnan, or Xizang), Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Greece, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Panama, and Central America..
There may be little or no activity currently taking place in Southern California right now, but there is a very high chance of magnitude 3-4+ any moment or day now. More magnitude 4+ are due here. There may also be more taking place elsewhere in the state this week or even today. For the rest of the world, there may still be more strong earthquake activity taking place somewhere. At the same time, it could come to a halt where there is not much else taking place for now.

Update: Dec. 13, 2019

Right when it was starting to rile up, it suddenly stopped. Now, the overall activity worldwide is lower than ever. At this point, we may not see anything significant going on anywhere until next week. However, there is a decent change it can suddenly become active again later today or this weekend. There is due to be more magnitude 6-7 or greater in the world. At this point, the next magnitude 7 may be within the next 2 weeks or sooner.
There may or may not be more seismic activity going on in Southern California for right now. However, there still may be a lot more taking place in the region within the next 2-3 weeks.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

EQ WATCH: Dec. 12 - 20, 2019

There is now a very high risk for more large earthquakes worldwide any moment now or within the week ahead. A magnitude 6 or 7 or greater may be taking place somewhere at any moment or day. Regions in particular that could be potential candidates for the next big earthquake include: the Molucca and Banda Sea region(Indonesia - Halmahera, Talaud Islands, Sulawesi), Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Greece and the Western Mediterranean Sea region, parts of China such as Xinjiang, Yunnan, and/or Sichuan, Central America..
Other places that could be experiencing significant activity include: Sumatra, Indonesia(or Java), the Andaman Islands region, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Iran, New Zealand(North Island), Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Japan's Ryukyu Islands region, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands..
So far, it is heated out there. More magnitude 6-7+ within the next week at the longest is highly likely. There may also be mag. 3-4+ taking place here in Southern California any day now. There is also a potential for more significant activity here in the coming weeks or even days. There has been numerous micro quakes occurring in certain faults such as the San Jacinto and Elsinore Faults. There could also be more seismic activity occurring in other areas of the state such as the Ridgecrest area, Central California(or perhaps NorCal).

Outlook for December 2019

As of right now, there might not be anything serious going on in the world at all. While there could still very well be a significant event somewhere at any time, it could hold off for another week. There is also a high likelihood for magnitude 7 or greater somewhere within the next 2 weeks at the longest so far. A major quake could hit somewhere at any moment or not for another few weeks. It could stay relatively quiet out there this week where much more takes place next week or perhaps by this weekend.
In Southern California, there may not be much taking place for right now. Although a magnitude 4 or larger could happen here anytime or day now, it could delay for another week or so. There may be much more taking place by the week of Christmas and/or New Year's. Something more serious is of a higher possibility within the next few weeks at this point. As much as it may happen, it also may not happen. It is safe to say that we are due for more significant seismic events.

Update: Dec. 9, 2019

There is a very high chance for more large earthquake activity worldwide remaining in effect. There may be a magnitude 6 or larger event imminent somewhere in the world anytime now within the next 5-7 days. Regions that may be experiencing significant seismic activity anytime or day now include: Central America, the Caribbean region(e.g. Cayman Islands), Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, South Sandwich Islands, New Zealand(North Island), Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, Solomon Islands, the Samoas, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, Indonesia(Halmahera, Java, Sumatra), Philippines(Luzon), Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido, Ryukyu Islands), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, possibly mainland Alaska, Andaman Islands region, China(Xinjiang, Xizang, Sichuan, or Yunnan), Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, and Greece..
There is also more activity heating up again in Southern California. We may have much more taking place here any day now or perhaps even next week or the holidays. There could be something more significant coming. I have been eyeballing the Lake Elsinore area as well as the Garlock Fault. A line of very small earthquakes along the Garlock Fault have occurred over the last day. There is a high chance of mag. 4+ in Southern California anytime or day now. There could also be more activity taking place in Central and/or Northern California and/or Nevada.

EQ Watch: Dec. 8 - 15, 2019

The chances of major earthquake activity worldwide has spiked back up again just now. There is a very strong chance of magnitude 6 or greater somewhere anytime now or within the coming week so far. There could be a particularly large and dangerous event somewhere in the world anytime or day now. Regions that are potential candidates for the next set of significant earthquakes include: Central America, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, New Zealand(North Island), Tonga, Vanuatu, the Samoas, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Philippines(Mindanao), East Timor, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Talaud Islands, Halmahera), Northern Mariana Islands, Taiwan, Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Hokkaido, Honshu), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Andaman Islands, Myanmar, Tajikistan, parts of Western China(Xinjiang), Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region..
There may just now be more taking place in Southern Alaska. There is a higher chance of a magnitude 4 or 5+ anytime this week or next. There may not be that much going on here in Southern California, but more activity may be increasing again at any moment. There is a very high chance of more magnitude 3+ anytime or day now. There is even a very high chance of mag. 4+ anytime now or within the week ahead so far.

Update: Dec. 2, 2019

Last night, a magnitude 6.0 occurred in the Andreanof Islands region of Alaska's Aleutian Island chain. Other than that, there has not been much else going on in terms of any significant activity worldwide. At this point, the potential for large earthquake activity stretches out to next week. If no more magnitude 6 or larger earthquakes happen anywhere in the world this week, then it will likely be next week. A particularly large event on the horizon somewhere is possible. Regions under potential concern would include: the Andaman Islands region, Myanmar, parts of China such as Sichuan, Xinjiang, and/or Yunnan, Afghanistan and/or Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Halmahera, Molucca, Flores, and Banda Seas), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Northern Mariana Islands, Taiwan, Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Central America - Mexico(Chiapas), Guatemala, possibly Belize, Honduras, and/or the Cayman Islands, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia, Chile(Tarapaca, Antofagasta, Atacama, Valparaiso), Argentina..
As for Southern California, there has been little taking place here over the past 2 days. It may still be showing signs of becoming busier anytime now or later this week. More activity may still be on the rise so far. There could still also be some more activity taking place elsewhere in California(Mag. 3 or 4+) anytime or day now such as the Bay Area, the Tehachapi Mountains, and Ridgecrest area.
