Update: August 14, 2020


Some more moderate earthquakes have occurred in the world over the past day, but there is still overall little taking place. I stated on Twitter that there may not be any significant earthquakes anywhere until next week, although I also indicated that it could change at any time. That was why I stretched the watch all the way to the 20th - 8 days in advance. I had a feeling there would be little going on in the world for a while because there was recently a lot taking place out there before that. There was a magnitude 6 somewhere only 2 days ago. There was some strong interplate earthquake activity going on only about a week ago. However, it still could become active again anytime or day now. A magnitude 7+ quake striking somewhere this weekend is not out of the realm of possibility, but at this point, it may be overall dead quiet out there for now. There may be more mag. 4s and 5s in certain active areas, but there may not be anything large going on anywhere today. It could still change later on. It could be later this afternoon or perhaps 3 hours from now, but as far as I know, it does not look like it is acting up much out there. Closer to home, a magnitude 3.1 occurred near the Salton Sea during the overnight hours. It then suddenly became dead quiet here after that. There was literally nothing for 5 hours and the count had dropped below 30 EQs over the last 24 hours. However, there may just now be some more activity warming up again. A couple of tiny red circles just appeared on the monitor.
