June 18, 2020


Just over an hour ago, a magnitude 7.4 occurred in the Kermadec Islands region. Last night, I tweeted that the chances of mag. 6+ somewhere in the world have spiked again as I was going to bed. Earlier yesterday, I made a post in this blog, but took it off because I did not want to jump the gun just yet. That earthquake did not occur on land or anywhere populous. There were also no reports of a tsunami impacting any communities elsewhere thus far. That being said, there still could be more large earthquake activity taking place in parts of the world anytime now so far.
Regions to watch out for include: Myanmar(a magnitude 5 just now occurred there), Southwestern Pacific Ocean(Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Kermadec Islands), Papua New Guinea, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Molucca or Banda Sea region), Northern Mariana Islands, Batan Islands region(Philippines), Taiwan, Ryukyu Islands(Japan), Andaman Islands region, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Greece/Eastern Mediterranean region, Aleutian Islands(Alaska), Kamchatka Peninsula..
However, it could also become relatively quiet again where that could be it for now, but there is still a high potential for more serious activity any time now or this weekend. More activity finally started taking place in Southern California yesterday evening. A magnitude 3.2 occurred 13 miles NW of Ojai - The first magnitude 3 and above in 2 weeks. This morning, it looks like it has died down a bit, but there is still a high chance of it heating up again. There is also a high potential for more taking place elsewhere in California such as the Tehachapi area(and Central California), the Searles Valley, as well as Northern California or Oregon(the Pacific Northwest). More aftershocks may continue in Nevada as well as Idaho. There could also potentially be more taking place over in Utah.
