Update: 7/10/21


A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the Northern Molucca Sea, 215 km West of Tobelo, Indonesia around 12 hours ago. No tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of damage. Significant earthquakes are common in that part of the world. Unfortunately, people were not so lucky in Tajikistan where a magnitude 5.8 earthquake took place less than 2 hours after the one in the Molucca Sea. Five deaths have been reported and dozens of homes were damaged. There continues to be a heightened potential for more strong earthquakes in the world. Other places to watch may include: Japan(Hokkaido, Kyushu, Izu Islands), Northern Mariana Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia(Molucca Sea region and Sumatra), parts of Central Asia, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Aleutian Islands.. There could also once again be some more seismic activity occurring across parts of the U.S. More noticeable aftershocks would be likely in that area near Smith Valley. There again continues to be a very high potential for more strong earthquake activity in the world.
