New EQ Watch: 12/21-31/22

 

I'm going to go ahead and place a new watch out there. It is extended for 10 days. It may look sketchy, but there may be a lot going on as we head into the last 2 weeks of the year. There was a strong earthquake in Northern California early this morning. It was a magnitude 6.4 and it caused 2 deaths and 11 injuries. It also causes power outages. The two people who died might have had a heart attack during the earthquake. It is said that it was a result of "medical emergencies occurring during and/or immediately following the earthquake". I could have issued a new watch late last night. It was staying quiet throughout the world, but something did start to feel off. This earthquake occurred during the overnight hours while I was asleep. There was not that much going on elsewhere in the world. Now, there may be a lot going on. There could be a particularly big earthquake any time or day now. Regions to watch out for may include: Indonesia(Sulawesi, Halmahera, or Sumatra), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, the Kermadec Islands region, Ryukyu Islands, Izu, Volcano, or Bonin Islands(Japan), Myanmar, possibly Puerto Rico or other parts of the Caribbean, Argentina, or Chile... Northern California may not be out of the woods yet. There may be more to come. A larger earthquake cannot be ruled out. At the same time, it may not likely be the next place to get a major earthquake. It could act up more or it may not just yet. It is somewhat sketchy so that is why I extended the watch that far out. It could flare up with intervals of low activity worldwide throughout the week. It also could end up being intensely active for days. There may also be more activity taking place in other parts of California, including Southern California.
