Update: 5/21/21


There is a lot of activity going on in the world so far. The largest that has occurred over the last day was a magnitude 5.7 in Java, Indonesia. There is an extremely high chance now of mag. 6-7+ within the next 5 days at this point. Regions that may be of concern would include: China(Yunnan or Western areas), Iran, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands region, Tonga, Vanuatu, Peru, Chile, Central America, the Aleutian Islands, Kuril Islands.. Some more earthquakes have been popping up across the U.S. including Western Texas, the New Madrid Seismic Zone area, and Ohio. There has been a small earthquake recorded in the NMSZ everyday over the last 3 days so far. That does not sound serious, but it would be worth being mindful of in case it becomes active again. It is a system that is hard to understand. Some have argued that it could be dying out where a large earthquake will never happen there again, but others are saying it is still possible. It seems like intraplate seismic systems are a slow, steady burning process. Over the years, it seems like the Eastern half of the United States has slowly been becoming more seismically active. That being said, there may also be some more seismic activity warming up in the Western areas of the United States any time or day now. There has been a flare-up with that aftershock sequence in Nevada. There again, is an extremely high potential for large earthquake activity in the world any time or day now so far.
