Longterm Forecast: July 2022

 

It looks like June is going to finish out quietly. It started out active, but the rest of the month was relatively uneventful. There has not been any magnitude 6 or greater going on anywhere in a while. It still has shown no signs of becoming very active anywhere. However, it might not stay like this for long. It can suddenly become active tomorrow or even later today. At the same time, it might stay quiet until Early July. It should become very active within the next week. It has been too quiet lately. Either by the beginning or middle part of the month, there is a strong potential for major earthquake activity going on somewhere out there. Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Central America, and the region between Taiwan and Japan are potential candidates.

Update: 6/26/22

There are not very high levels of activity out there now, but there was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake off the coast of southern Peru. It likely didn't cause damage or injuries. That was the only earthquake of magnitude 5 or above to happen all day and it was 21 hours ago. At this point, it may either end up getting extremely quiet out there before it becomes very active later this week or it could start up again within a few hours or by tomorrow.

Report: 6/25/22

 

A magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred on the Southern coast of Iran. It killed one person and injured more than 30 others. There were reports from a hospital than several people suffered fractures from falling. One person suffered a concussion, a fracture and bleeding from falling from the third floor of a building. They said that despite performing surgeries, the injuries were severe and the person did not survive. Most of those who were injured had only minor injuries from trying to flee the area. There is still a very high potential for violent earthquake activity going on in the world this week. There has not been any magnitude 6 or greater earthquakes since earlier this month. There has been somewhat of a gap.

Update: 6/24/22

So far, there are raised levels of seismic activity around the world. Since the last post, the largest earthquake that happened so far was a magnitude 5.8 in the East Pacific Rise. That happened almost 20 hours ago. A concerning region is from Taiwan to the area south of Japan proper. Other possible candidates for the next large earthquake may include Central America, Indonesia, Iran, and the Kuril Islands.

EQ Watch: 6/23-30/22

I just developed a feeling that there could potentially be a particularly large earthquake somewhere any time now or within the week ahead. At the same time, there may not be that much going on at all. I just wanted to put this out there as precaution. There may be a high potential for a magnitude 7 or greater somewhere any time or day now. There has only been one earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or greater this month. There seems to have not been enough in terms of a surge in a while. Regions I'm most concerned about include: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Western China, the area from Taiwan to Japan's Ryukyu Islands, Indonesia(Banda Sea region), Papua New Guinea, Central America, Kuril Islands or the Kamchatka Peninsula.. So far, it might become very active within the coming week or any time now so far. Before anyone is alarmed, there is no guarantee something very big will happen. There just is a lot due to take place.

This is bad news. A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan a short while ago and about 1,000 deaths have been reported. The earthquake was initially a magnitude 6.0. It occurred at 1:24 a.m. local time. It happened close to the border with Pakistan. It still might be active out there. Other areas of concern include the Ryukyu Islands region and Southern Iran and Central America.

There is not much else going on out there now, but there was a magnitude 5.9 in the Bonin Islands region(Japan). The severity of an earthquake that is barely a magnitude 6 varies depending on where in the world it happens. The magnitude 5.9 in Taiwan the other day happened in land. The latest one happened in a remote area in the ocean. It may not seem like a lot is going on now, but I wouldn't say it is done yet. This watch still has several more days left, so there is a chance things could drastically change. At the same time, this may be an overall relatively uneventful month and the next surge may not be until the end of this month or early next month.

Report: 6/20/22

Hours ago, a magnitude 6.0 struck Taiwan. So far, there were no reports of damage or injuries. However, the USGS downgraded it to magnitude 5.9. It has been about 2 weeks since the last magnitude 6 or greater anywhere. There are still moderate levels of activity worldwide. There has been a lot of activity going on around Japan. The Kuril Islands may be showing signs of acting up. There has also been more activity taking place in Central America.

EQ Watch: 6/16-25/22

There has been some instability lately. At first, it did not feel like much was going on all week, but just over the past 2-3 hours, it was beginning to shift. There may or may not be a strong earthquake today or this weekend, but it is highly likely within the next week. It could act up today or tomorrow, but there should be a lot going on by the 23rd to 25th at the latest. When I make these posts, it does not necessarily mean it is immediately active out there. While oftentimes it is that way, there are times like today where it feels unstable - It could suddenly become very active somewhere even though it has been somewhat quiet. It has been like a slow developing where it would start to increase in activity, but then it would die back down again. These are the kinds of watches that are set longer. Regions to watch out for would include: Japan(the Ryuku, Volcano Islands, the Katsuura Basin area, and even Japan proper), Philippines(Luzon), Indonesia(Banda Sea region), Papua New Guinea, Central America, Iran, and/or Central Asia(Hindu Kush region to Western China or Myanmar).. So far, there has been some questionable activity going on in and around Japan today. There may not necessarily be something major going on there imminently, but it is a place to keep an eye on as it is so active. There is also more seismic activity increasing in the Western U.S. such  as Nevada and California. There is some more seismic activity flaring up in Southern California today. There are also some signs of more activity taking place in the Central U.S. There has been hardly anything going on anywhere east of Oklahoma this past week, but that might change any time or day now. A small magnitude 2.5 struck eastern Illinois at 7:14 this morning(northeast of the town of Fairfield). In terms of more serious activity, Central America was included in those potential areas of interest. The area in particular is more on the western side - Honduras, Belize, or the Caribbean. A magnitude 5.0 just struck the Cayman Islands.

Report: 6/7/22

 

A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck the Peru-Brazil border on Wednesday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The epicenter was 111 kilometres(69 miles) SSW of Tarauaca, Brazil with a focal depth of 621 kilometres(386 miles). There may still be more significant seismic activity going on in the world. I am considering either extending this watch for a couple of more days or issuing a new one for this week. So far, it still might be active somewhere out there.

Update: 6/5/22

Late yesterday, a magnitude 6.3 struck the Rat Islands of Alaska's Aleutian archipelago. There are still considerable levels of activity worldwide. Tomorrow is supposedly the last day of the watch, but it could end up going on longer. Other regions that might act up include: Indonesia, Philippines, Andaman Islands region, off the coast of Japan, and/or possibly the Queen Charlotte Islands region. While it could still be active out there, it could end up becoming quiet again.

Report: 6/4/22

 

Two strong earthquakes have occurred in the world today so far. There was a magnitude 6.2 in the Tonga region, followed by a magnitude 6.4 near Macquarie Island. There were no reports of damage. Tonga experiences significant earthquakes quite often, so there shouldn't be any concern regarding lives and property grievously affected. There still may be a lot going on out there. Other areas to watch include: Indonesia, Japan, Papua New Guinea, the Aleutian Islands, Philippines, Central Asia(Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan region) - Thus, there has been some activity occurring in a couple of other parts of the Middle East.

Update: 6/2/22

It still might be growing very active in the world any time or day now. 2 areas I'm most concerned about may be the region extending from Sichuan, China through Myanmar. The possibility of a potentially larger earthquake in the same area cannot be ruled out. I'm also focusing in more on Indonesia, especially the Molucca, Ceram, and Flores Sea regions. There is the possibility of something going on in the Western Mediterranean Sea region. Other regions that could be candidates for the next strong earthquake would include: Vanuatu, Tonga, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Aleutian Islands, Chile, Central America.. There is no way of knowing for sure where the most energy is coming from. This is not a guessing game of "Who's next?" I detect the levels of instability through pain in the side and gives me a clue with the type of stress along with looking at the global activity over the recent past and determine which regions have been more active lately. I have discovered a correlation in flank pain and other peculiar physical sensations leading up to a large earthquake somewhere in the world 12 years ago. I document these symptoms in a separate blog to support this. I believe some humans are extra sensitive to certain stresses whether it be in the ground or atmosphere. My body experiences compress-and-contract responses to these stresses deep in the earth. Now, back to the rest of the world, the potential for more strong earthquake activity somewhere is still very high. It may act up at any time. This watch may go well into this weekend.

Report: 6/1/22

 

A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck China's Sichuan Province about 5 hours ago. Unfortunately, there have been 4 casualties and 14 others were injured. The quake's epicenter was near Ya'an City. It struck at a depth of 17 km, at about 5 p.m. local time, and tremors were felt across Sichuan. It was first registered as a magnitude 6.1, but the USGS downgraded it to 5.9. The earthquake reportedly triggered a landslide that damaged residencies and a cement factory. Some 4,500 search and rescue workers were sent to help. Sichuan is no stranger to significant earthquakes. On May 12, 2008, one of the deadliest earthquakes in history occurred there, killing thousands. As far as more significant activity elsewhere is concerned, there is not a whole lot going on elsewhere right now. However, it may become more active this week or by this weekend.
