Report: 7.2.23

 

A magnitude 6.9 struck the Tonga region earlier. There was no tsunami danger for the US west coast, British Columbia, and Alaska, the US Tsunami Warning System said. The quake had a depth of 247 km(153.48 miles) the USGS said. Meanwhile, a magnitude 3.8 struck near Malibu, California several hours ago. There has also been more activity taking place up in Alaska. There continues to be a high potential for more significant earthquake activity in the world.

Report: 6.30.23

 An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 struck the Java region of Indonesia. The USGS downgraded it to magnitude 5.8. The quake damaged several buildings. So far, there have been no immediate reports of casualties. The quake was centered 84 km(52 miles) southwest of Bambanglipuro, a village in Bantul regency of Yogyakarta province, at a depth of 86 km(53 miles). Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency said the undersea earthquake damaged at least 15 houses, two schools, a health facility and a government office. Television reports showed residents in Yogyakarta and its neighboring provinces of central and eastern Java panicking as houses and buildings swayed for several seconds. Some places ordered evacuations sending people fleeing into the streets. There was no danger of a tsunami, but services warned of aftershocks. As for the rest of the world, there is not a whole lot going on right now, but there is a high potential for more to come. Other places that could become active anytime now might include: Myanmar, Japan(Hokkaido region, Bonin Islands), Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Chile, South Sandwich Islands region, and the Philippines... Meanwhile some more seismic activity has flared up in  California. A magnitude 3.4 struck near Tehachapi overnight. There is also more activity occurring in Southern Alaska and the peninsula.

EQ Watch: 6.30-7.5.23

 

I'm now going to put a new watch out for worldwide seismic activity. There is a high potential for a large earthquake anytime within the next 5-6 days at this point. There is a decent chance of an earthquake in the upper magnitude 6 to 7 range somewhere any time or day now so far. Places I'm watching more include: Japan(off the coast of Fukushima to Hokkaido, Bonin Islands), Kuril Islands, Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, the Kermadec Islands region, Turkey, Iran, Mediterranean region, Chile, Argentina, Peru... There may not be a whole lot going on immediately, but there is a high likelihood of a magnitude 6 or greater somewhere out there within the next few days at this point. Meanwhile, there may be an uptick in activity in California. There could be a magnitude 4 in southern California or central to northern California within the coming days. There might also be more noticeable activity up in Alaska as well.

Outlook: July 2023

 

June was overall quiet compared to the previous months this year. There was an outbreak in strong earthquake activity for one week which was the middle part of the month. So far, it looks like it is finishing up relatively quiet with a few bumps. However, it can always change very swiftly. I could end up making a new post tomorrow or perhaps later today. I just have not been feeling anything tugging my strings much at all lately. I briefly felt something where there was a little uptick in activity, but there was nothing more than a magnitude 6.0 aftershock in the most recently active area. I feel like I should try making these watches shorter and only keep the world posted as I play it by ear. I want to conserve those posts for when it becomes really active out there. People may also stop listening to me when I post that much. I also have been struggling to be a little more serious on Twitter. I sometimes get burned out from my job and am guilty of engaging in mindless scrolling where I sometimes get tempted by another tweet to share my opinion. I don't want to get into any of that. I need to stick with what I cover. So far, it looks like the next surge in activity may not be long from now. It doesn't feel like anything is happening yet other than a few moderate to significant quakes, but the next full-blown outbreak could be within a few days. However, it also may not be a long-lasting event. It could take place over a course of 2 or 3 days. At this point, it could start up from July 1-5 or 5-8. However, it could still suddenly become active before this month is over. So far, those are just aftershocks. However, a large earthquake occurring out there today or tomorrow cannot be ruled out. The regions to watch out for next may include the Philippines, Indonesia(Sumatra, Bali region, or the Banda Sea region), Japan(these are all the most active places, by the way), the Andaman Islands region, Myanmar or northern India, possibly parts of the Mediterranean region, Black and/or Caspian Sea region, Aleutian Islands or southern Alaska, Ecuador, or Peru. There also might be some moderate to possibly significant activity in California soon. There is no telling exactly where, but I am looking at Central and Northern California. However, I'm not meaning to leave out Southern California becoming more active anytime soon. It just looks like there may be more going on there soon. Over the past month, there has also been an increase in seismic activity scattered throughout parts of the eastern side of the U.S.

Update: 6.19.23

 

An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck Mexico's Gulf of California on Sunday. Mexico's civil defense office confirmed that there were no immediate reports of damage in the areas where the earthquake was felt. The quake struck at a depth of 10 km(6.21 miles). There was no threat of a tsunami. Meanwhile, it has been active elsewhere throughout the world. A magnitude 6.0 struck south of Africa. It could not have caused any harm as it was nowhere near land.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Update: 6.17.23

 

It continues to be active out there. So far, several other significant earthquakes have occurred in the world over the last day. Many aftershocks are taking place from the magnitude 7.2 in the Tonga region and there has been some significant activity taking place in the Kuril Islands region north of Hokkaido, Japan. There could still be more large earthquakes taking place any time now. Other potential areas of concern include central Asia, Iran, Central America, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Northern Mariana Islands...

Report 2: 6.15.23

 

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake just struck near Tonga. The epicenter was located 280 km(174 miles) southwest of Tonga, at a depth of 167.4 km(104 miles), according to the USGS. The U.S. Tsunami Warning System said there was no threat of a tsunami for the U.S. west coast, British Columbia, or Alaska following the quake. There was also no tsunami threat for Australia.

Report: 6.15.23

 

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred in the Mindoro region of the Philippines hours ago(last night in my time zone). It caused panic and prompted evacuations, but there were no reports of major damage or deaths. So far, there continues to be a potential for even more serious activity in the world. However, it has not been acting up much anywhere else at all lately. I had a feeling we were in for a quiet spell this month. At the same time, there may still be a major earthquake due somewhere any time now. The Kermadec Islands, Indonesia, the Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands, and central Asia are other potential candidates for the next significant earthquake or two. I'm also starting to pay attention to California and the west coast again. I'm not saying something big is probably about to happen somewhere along the west coast of the United States but there may be more activity flaring up in parts of California and even the Rockies any time now this week or in the coming week so far.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

New EQ Watch: 6.14-19.23

 

There now may be more significant activity going on again in the world any time now. A particularly large earthquake could even be imminent somewhere out there within the next several days at this point. So far, it has been showing signs of becoming more active again. Regions to watch out for may include: the Kermadec Islands region, Fiji, Tonga, Loyalty Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia(Sulawesi, Sumatra, Banda Sea region), Japan, parts of Central Asia such as northern India, Pakistan, or western China, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Northern Mariana Islands... I'm not implying that all of these places are under the threat of a strong to major earthquake any time now. These are listed as one of the most active regions or regions that have been more active than usual lately. This could also end up being a dud where nothing big happens at all, but at the same time, it is starting to heat up so far.

Report: 6.11.23

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 with an intermediate focal depth hit northern Japan's Hokkaido on Sunday evening, the Japan meteorological agency said. The epicenter of the earthquake was off the coast of the town of Urakawa, the Agency said, adding that a tsunami warning had not been issued. There continues to be a high potential for more significant earthquake activity going on out there. Other areas of the world to watch may include Indonesia(Sumatra, Sulawesi region), Turkey, the Aleutian Islands, Kuril Islands, Greece, Peru, or Chile. Japan is a very active country, so be aware of the potential for more activity in the region.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Update: 6.10.23

 

So far, it may not be getting much more active than this. The largest earthquake we have had out there so far was a magnitude 5.9. There was a magnitude 5.8 in the Fiji region a few hours ago. There has not been one magnitude 6 or greater this month. I had a feeling June would probably be the least active month of the year again. That is because it was so active for the last several months, I knew we were due for a break. However, a magnitude 6 or higher is still likely within the next few days. I might as well delete that last world EQ watch. I would rather save these for something major. It did not feel like it was going to get that active for a while. A candidate for the next magnitude 6 or greater would be Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Other areas to watch may include Pakistan, Iran, Greece, Peru, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Otherwise, the next major surge in activity may not be until next week or towards the end of the month at this point.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

EQ Watch: 6.9-12.23

 

I put a few tweets out last night that it was about time for it to start becoming active in the world again. I mistakenly deleted them this morning. I did make a tweet earlier yesterday where I did say it felt like it was about to get active soon, so it is not all lost. So far, a magnitude 5.6 was reported in Indonesia just about an hour ago. There is a very high chance of a magnitude 6 or greater somewhere any time now. Other areas that could be under the gun include: Colombia, Central America, Peru, the South Sandwich Islands, Loyalty Islands, Kermadec Islands, Pakistan, Iran or the Caspian Sea region.. So far, there is again, a very high potential for a magnitude 6 or higher somewhere anytime now within the next several days.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Outlook: 5.27-6.11.23

 There still might be some more significant activity going on somewhere in the world. It has already been active lately. It seems like there might be one more big flare-up of activity in the world before there may finally be a break from major earthquake activity this coming month. It could become active again anytime now or in the beginning of June or it could become very quiet for now and the next surge in global activity could be closer to the middle of the month at this point. There also may not be another magnitude 7 or larger until July. Interestingly, June and July were more quiet times last year after multiple major quakes in May. At the same time, I wouldn't be betting on it. I will be ready to put it out there is something serious arises again. At this point, another magnitude 6 or greater might happen any time or day now, but at the same time, it could stop for now.

Report: 5.26.23

 

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck the east coast of Honshu, Japan. No tsunami warning was issued, according to public broadcaster NHK. It shook buildings in Tokyo as well as surrounding prefectures. There were no immediate reports of serious damage. The epicenter was near Chiba Prefecture, to the east of Tokyo at a depth of 50 km. It could still be active out there. Otherwise, the next watch may be scheduled after the end of this month. It may not be long before the next surge in activity and perhaps there will be a longer break after that.

Report: 5.25.23

 

I was going to let this watch go out a little bit longer yesterday. An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 struck the Gulf of Darien, near the Panama-Colombia border Wednesday night followed by an aftershock of 4.9 just ten minutes after the former. There were no reports of casualties or damage. The earthquake did not hit a populous region. According the the USGS, the quake was centered about 41 km(25 miles) northeast of Puerto Obaldia, Panama, while both quakes struck at a depth of 10 km(6.21 miles).

Report: 5.21.23

 

A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the Prince Edward Islands in the Indian Ocean and another strong earthquake struck the Solomon Islands less than an hour later. Neither one of them appeared to cause any harm. The first larger earthquake occurred in the middle of an ocean and it was in a divergent boundary, so it could not have caused a tsunami. It is not over so far. It still may be hot again. The Sulawesi region of Indonesia is another area of potential right now. Also the Molucca and Banda Sea regions are potential hot spots at this point. Indonesia is one of the most seismically active places in the world. I'm also still considering Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea region.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Update: 5.20.23

 

A very large aftershock struck the Loyalty Islands region earlier. Again, there have been no reports of damage or injuries. No destructive tsunami ensued. There have been numerous aftershocks following the latest major earthquake. That may have been it for now. There is still a potential for something significant out there, though. It just may not be a days-long outbreak of significant earthquake activity throughout parts of the world. The other area I am concerned about is the Mediterranean region. There has been some activity occurring in Greece as well as the central Mediterranean Sea region. I've also been concerned about more activity flaring up in Turkey again. At the same time, that also might not happen. By the way, I decided to quit having multiple different images to switch to as profile pictures according to the global seismic activity levels. It not only makes it easier on myself, but it can sometimes get confusing for other people out there. The fact that I struggle to make up my mind on the appearance and would change it so often has not been helpful. I can just keep it with a cute fox theme, but I'm no longer going to use multiple pictures to change in and out of.

Report: 5.19.23

 

A massive magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck southeast of the Loyalty Islands hours ago. It caused a small tsunami in the South Pacific islands. No damage was reported and the threat was over within a few hours. Waves 60 centimeters(2 feet) above tide level were measured off Lenakel, a port town in Vanuatu, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. Vanuatu's National Disaster Management Office advised people to evacuate the coastal areas to higher ground. The Office said people should listen to their radios for updates and take other precautions. New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency said it expected coastal areas would experience strong and unusual currents, with predictable surges at the shoreline. The PTWC said small waves of 20 centimeters(8 inches) above tides were measured at North Cape, New Zealand. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake's epicenter was near the Loyalty Islands, a province in the French territory of New Caledonia. The quake had a focal depth of 37 kilometers(23 miles).

EQ Watch: 5.19-26.23

 

It is probably getting very active again any time now. There could be a very large earthquake due somewhere any time or day now so far. Since it was recently active last week, I made this watch shorter. There could be a sudden, yet brief burst of energy in the world and then it may fall quiet again and may not act up that much for the remainder of the month. There was a magnitude 6.2 in Guatemala yesterday. Fortunately, the earthquake was deep and there were no reports of damage. There still could be more to come for that region. However, the next strong earthquake may very likely hit somewhere else. Other regions to watch include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, or Sulawesi), Papua New Guinea, the Andaman Islands region, Alaska(Aleutian Islands), Kamchatka Peninsula, Kuril Islands, off the coast of Japan, Greece or other parts of the Mediterranean region, Tonga, Solomon Islands.. It was otherwise very quiet this week. It was perfect as I have been reconstructing the system I use. I even debated not using different avatars anymore showing the levels of seismic activity in the world. I simply just cut it to just two forms where it changes color and form at the highest alert level. Otherwise, I gave the original a brighter color scheme instead of just a standard red fox.

Update: 5.11.23

 

A magnitude 5.5 struck northern California near the town of East Shore. Residents of Sacramento reported feeling it. It struck at 4:19 p.m. local time. So far, there have been no reports of damage. Meanwhile, there has been a lot of activity taking place in and around Japan lately. There still may be more going on in the world over the next several days. Other places to monitor may include Indonesia, western China, Ryukyu Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Solomon Islands, Kermadec Islands, possibly Colombia or the eastern Caribbean... I also have not stopped paying attention to parts of the Mediterranean.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Report: 5.10.23

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Tonga region Wednesday morning. No tsunami watches and warnings were issued. Due to it having a depth of 210 km, it could not have displaced enough water above the surface that would generate a tsunami across the Pacific. There were no immediate reports of damage. The United States Geological Survey estimated a low chance of casualties and damage. It was not so active earlier, but it is of course very active now. Another large earthquake is not out of the question. An even larger earthquake in the same region can't be ruled out although it also might not happen. It still might be active out there within the next several days so far.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

EQ Watch: rescheduled 5.9-16.23

I had a feeling that it was going to drag out after that flash of significant activity a few days ago. It now is starting to warm up again. More activity is increasing in parts of the world and there is a very high potential for more strong earthquakes in the coming days. Areas to look out for might include: Indonesia(Sumatra region), Andaman Islands region, Banda Sea, or Timor Leste region, Aleutian Islands(Alaska, U.S.A.), Japan, the Kuril Islands or Kamchatka Peninsula, Solomon Islands, Philippines, Central America.. There may be a lot going on within the week ahead. So far, it is already starting to show signs of growing active out there. A magnitude 7 or greater may be possible somewhere.

EQ Watch: 5.5-8.23

Yesterday, I was planning to post a watch out, but suddenly had to go somewhere and did not come in until 8 p.m. I know that is not exceptionally late, but I was still very tired and had to get up early the next morning. I had too much going on. I went to bed with the promise of making a post the next morning. I had a feeling it was going to become active somewhere anytime now and would wake up and find that something had already happened. I found out that a magnitude 6.2 struck the Ishikawa Prefecture(in western Honshu, Japan). In my time zone, it was the middle of the night, 3 hours after I had gone to bed. So far, there have been reports of damage and some injuries. One person is feared dead after falling off a ladder. A few buildings have collapsed. No tsunami warning was issued. Local firefighters reported that a man went into cardiac arrest after falling off a ladder in Suzu. Two small buildings collapsed in the city, with possibly one person trapped inside. "After swaying heavily sideways, there was a strong jolt in the end. I was terrified." a 63-year-old priest of a Shinto shrine said in a phone interview. He also said two stone lanterns in front of his house collapsed. It had a local Shindo rating in the upper 6 range(the highest being 7). It was rated 4 and 3 in intensity in neighboring Prefectures. Three Hokuriki Shinkansen bullet trains that were operating between Nagano and Kanazawa Stations made emergency stops due to electrical outage, according to East Japan Railway Co. No abnormalities were detected at the Shika nuclear power plant in Ishikawa Prefecture and the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in the nearby Niigata Prefecture, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told a press conference. There has been little going on elsewhere throughout the world, but there may be more to come within the next few days. Other regions to watch out for might include: the Aleutian Islands(Alaska, U.S.A.), Philippines, Papua New Guinea, the Northern Mariana Islands region, Ryukyu Islands(Japan), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Kermadec Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Indonesia, possibly parts of Central Asia including Afghanistan or Pakistan, Iran... It may or may not act up more today, but more strong earthquakes with the possibility of a magnitude 7 or greater somewhere are likely within the next 5 to 7 days so far.

Report: 4.28.23

A magnitude 6.6 occurred south of the Fiji Islands earlier. It occurred during the overnight hours in my time zone, so I was in bed when it happened. I was not up to report it right away. There is also a lot going on elsewhere so far. Other questionable places might include: Iran or Central Asia, Japan, the Kuril Islands or Kamchatka Peninsula, the Aleutian Islands, and Peru.. There may continue to be more going on this weekend so far.

Report: 4.24-25.23

 

Another major earthquake struck today. A magnitude 7.1 happened off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia several hours ago. It initially triggered a tsunami warning, but it was lifted 2 hours later. The quake had a focal depth of 84 kilometres(52.2 miles). It struck at 3:00 a.m. local time. In Sumatra's capital Padang, the earthquake was felt strongly. Some people left their homes and evacuated the beaches. No damage has been reported so far. That region has been more active recently. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands in particular have been having activity recently. There still could be a lot going on out there.

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck the Kermadec Islands of New Zealand earlier. There was no threat of a tsunami. The earthquake had a depth of 10 km(6.21 miles). It was initially reported as magnitude 7.3 by the USGS but was later downgraded to magnitude 7.1. It also initially reported twins where another earthquake of the same magnitude was reported just seconds later, but was later retracted. So far, there were no casualties reported. This region gets hit a lot. Just about a month ago, the same region was hit by a magnitude 7.1 and not long before that a magnitude 6.9. There is still more going on elsewhere including Indonesia, parts of Central Asia, the Bonin Islands region(Japan), and the South Sandwich Islands.

New EQ Watch: 4.23-30.23

 

There may be more large earthquake activity taking place again any time or day now. A very large earthquake may be due somewhere at any time or day. At the same time, I could end up cancelling this and postponing it to the first week of May. Regions that may be under the gun would include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Banda Sea region) Papua New Guinea, Bismarck Sea region, Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Ryukyu Islands(Japan) region, Philippines, Kamchatka Peninsula, possibly Central Asia(Pakistan)... Within these next two weeks, there is a strong chance of magnitude 7+ somewhere. So far, that is what it feels like. There may or may not be a lot going on immediately, but it does feel like it might become very active again any time or day now so far. There are already increased levels of activity worldwide right now.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Outlook: 4.22-5.6.23

While it is still active in the world, it may either become quiet tomorrow or early this week or become even more active. At this point, it may heat up again later in the week if the former happens. At this point, this month could end in a crescendo and eventually a big loud bang. So far, there might be a lot going on within the week ahead. There could also be more activity in Southern California as well as parts of the central and eastern U.S. coming up. I could either extend the latest world EQ watch or post a new one for the last week of this month. May could either start out quiet or be hot during the first day or two. Either this month finishes with a lot of significant activity in the world or the next two weeks might have a massive earthquake imminent at some point. Nonetheless, there might be a lot going on within the next two weeks so far. Regions that could be under the gun for the next set of significant activity include Indonesia, off the coast of Japan, Central America, Peru, and possibly parts of the Mediterranean. There has been some interesting activity going on in the Central Mediterranean Sea recently.

Report: 4.22.23

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the Banda Sea hours ago. There have been no initial reports of damage or injuries. Significant damage is unlikely. It would take several hours for authorities to conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. This event has not prompted any tsunami advisories. There may be more going on out there today or tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Update: 4.21.23

 

There are elevated levels of global seismic activity taking place right now. The largest so far over the past 24 hours was a magnitude 5.9 in the Molucca Sea region which was most likely an aftershock of the Tobelo, Indonesia earthquake several months ago. There still could be a lot more going on somewhere out there any time now. I may need to extend this watch to another day or two at this point. Other areas of potential might include: the Central Mediterranean Sea region, off the coast of Japan(South), the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula region, Indonesia(Sumatra), Fiji region, Tonga, Vanuatu, Central America..

Report: 4.19.23

I apologize for this being a little late. I had to run some errands earlier. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck Papua New Guinea over 7 hours ago. No casualties or injuries were reported. There was no serious damage expected either. There is still a high potential for more significant activity in the world so far. Other regions to watch include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Nias region, or Java), the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Izu Islands(Japan), Philippines, Fiji region, Central America..

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Report: 4.18.23

A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the Fiji Islands region about 6 hours ago. The focus was quite deep. It had a depth of 562.5 km. It could not have caused any serious damage to land nearest to the epicenter. The second largest earthquake to occur over the last 24 hours was a magnitude 5.6 in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. There are still elevated levels of seismic activity worldwide. Another strong earthquake within the next two days is of a high potential. Other regions to watch might include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Banda Sea region), the Kermadec Islands, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Japan, the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula.. I'm also still mindful of something possibly going on in the Barbados region(eastern Caribbean.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

New EQ Watch: 4.18-22.23

 

I might as well issue another world earthquake watch. However, it may not last as long. There are increasing levels in activity worldwide. A major earthquake somewhere any time now is not out of the question. A magnitude 6 or greater somewhere any moment now is highly likely so far. At the same time, I will not be surprised if it dies back down tomorrow. Regions to watch would include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Banda Sea), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Kermadec Islands region, Japan, the Kuril Islands, possibly the eastern Caribbean region.. There has also been some more seismic activity flaring up in Southern California. There has also been more activity in western Texas and eastern New Mexico most recently. There has also been a little activity going on in the New Madrid Seismic Zone as well.

Report: 4.14.23

 

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake has hit Indonesia some 96 kilometers north of Tuban, according the the U.S. Geological Survey. A resident by the name of Sebastian Paz reported that the quake caused shaking across the Island. No tsunami warning has been issued. There is not much going on elsewhere in the world. However, there has been some interesting activity going on in parts of the United States recently. Some more seismic activity has occurred in Texas, Oklahoma as well as out east. A couple of small earthquakes occurred in northeastern New York and southeastern Canada. As for more serious activity worldwide, there is still a high potential for more significant activity out there any time now, but at the same time, that may have been it for now. An even larger earthquake somewhere would not be out of the question, but there still may not be much more going on yet.

Report: 4.13.23

 

There has not been a full-on surge in global seismic activity, but there was a magnitude 6.0 off the coast of Vancouver, Canada. It likely did not cause damage(at least no significant damage), but it must have been felt throughout the region. There may or may not be anything else serious going on today. However, there very well could be more going on any time now or this weekend so far. I'm still watching the Port Blair, India region(Andaman and Nicobar Islands). On a less significant note, some more seismic activity has taken place in the Central and Eastern U.S. Otherwise, there is still a very high chance for more strong earthquake activity in the world any time now within the next few days so far.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

Update: 4.10.23

There are increased levels of seismic activity around the world. A magnitude 6.0 struck the Bismarck Sea nearly 12 hours ago. That was one of the areas listed under the watch. Another area I have been concerned about was the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region. There has been some ongoing moderate activity there over the last day or two. There could also be some more activity in the Pacific Northwest Coast of the United States or Alaska. Other parts of the world that may be potentially active include: Philippines, Japan, parts of Central Asia, Indonesia, Central America, Chile... There could also be some more activity taking place in the Central and/or Eastern U.S. this week.

https://twitter.com/SeismicFox1

New EQ Watch: 4.7-15.23

There now may be more going on again out there. There is now a heightened potential for more strong earthquake activity in the world any time now within the week ahead so far. There is already some more activity going on out there. A magnitude 5.8 already struck south of the Kamchatka Peninsula(Russia). I'm trying to get better at determining which places may likely act up next. The USGS live data map is my go-to. I have referred to that site for years, since this all began. It has various settings where you can see the latest earthquakes over the past 24 hours, to past week, to a month. The orange dots and circles indicate the earthquakes that have occurred over the past 24 hours, yellow shows the past week, and white shows the ones that have occurred over the past month. I try gathering data by surveying not only the most recently active areas, but further back. There have been times where I watched an area that looked like it was becoming more active, then when there would not be anything else going on for a while after that, I forgot about it and focused on another area that showed signs of becoming more active. Lo and behold, a major earthquake strikes that area that was previously starting to act up. That was the case with Turkey. It is not easy keeping up with multiple places around the world at once. For example, there was some interesting activity taking place in Italy and parts of southeastern Europe, but there has not been anything going on in either of those places over the past week. So far, the regions I'm suspecting may act up any time now include: Central America, Colombia, Peru, Fiji region, Tonga, Bismarck Sea(Papua New Guinea), Indonesia(Nias region, Sumatra), Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands.. I also will not be surprised if the Philippines acts up again. Meanwhile, some more minor activity has been occurring in the Central and Eastern United States lately. There were a number of small earthquakes in Oklahoma yesterday. Some more seismic activity has been occurring in western Texas as well. There could also be some more activity, possibly magnitude 3-4+ in Eastern California and/or Nevada. More activity in other parts of California and the west is not out of the question anytime now this week.

Update: 4.5.23

 

Late yesterday, a magnitude 6.3 struck 71 km south of Boca Chica, Panama. There were no reports of fatalities, injuries, or damage. It was thoroughly felt in the areas closest to the epicenter. One video came out inside of a grocery store where items have fallen off shelves. There could still be more going on after this, but at the same time, that could be it for now. It may not be quiet for very long after this. The next watch may be scheduled by this weekend or next week. There are still moderate levels of activity taking place out there. I want to reach out to people more effectively. Whenever a significant earthquake happens somewhere, I should try to search for information as much as possible and not wait on it. I know I cannot play around and retweet and share silly cute things all the time. The first reports I can find, I should share it. I also am reminding myself to be more consistent where I tweet more often whenever there might be more significant earthquakes taking place worldwide any time now. I need to do a little more than make a blog post and wait and retweet the earthquakes as they happen.

Update: 4.4.23

A magnitude 6.2 struck offshore east of the Philippines, briefly prompting officials in the area to issue a tsunami warning. There were no reports of casualties, injuries, or damage. There is still a very high potential for more going on out there. I made a typo in the initial EQ watch post and meant make it last through the 4th and accidentally made the 1st the last day. It could still act up more after today. Another magnitude 7 or greater cannot be ruled out. Other areas to watch may include Central America, Indonesia(Sumatra or Nias region), Hokkaido, Japan, Izu Islands region(Japan), possibly parts of Central Asia, Papua New Guinea, and/or the Tonga region.

Update: 4.3.23

There have been reports of some buildings and homes destroyed near yesterday's magnitude 7.0 in northern Papua New Guinea. The region is so remote to the point where it might take several days to figure out the extent of the damage. The earthquake was big enough to be felt in surrounding regions. Two earthquakes of magnitude 6 and up have occurred in the world over the past 24 hours. A magnitude 6.5 struck near the Kamchatka Peninsula and later a magnitude 6.1 struck near the coast of northnern Sumatra, Indonesia.

Report: 4.2.23

Just as I was getting tired of waiting, a magnitude 7.0 struck Papua New Guinea. It happened less than an hour ago. The earthquake had a focal depth of 80 km(49.71 miles; roughly 50 miles). No tsunami was expected after the earthquake. There have also been no immediate reports of damage or injuries so far. It was falling quiet earlier today. However, even though there are not elevated levels of activity taking place worldwide, that does not rule out the potential for a strong to major earthquake happening somewhere.

Report: 3.30.23

 

Earlier, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Maule, Chile. So far, there have been no reports of damage or injuries following said earthquake. So far, there is not a whole lot going on elsewhere, but there is still a very high potential for more strong earthquake activity somewhere out there within the next few days. I'm still paying attention to the Mediterranean Sea region and parts of southern Europe. I'm also watching other active areas such as Japan, Alaska, Indonesia, Central Asia, and the Philippines. There has also been a swarm taking place in the Yellowstone National Park area. There were 60 small earthquakes recorded in 12 hours. There have also been some signs of more activity taking place in the eastern portion of the United States. A magnitude 2.1 occurred in eastern Tennessee late last night. A few other small earthquakes have been recorded in and around the New Madrid Fault system over the last several days.

Report: 3.28.23

 

Two magnitude 6+ earthquakes have occurred over the last 24 hours. The first was a magnitude 6.1 in the Solomon Islands and later on there was a magnitude 6.0 off the coast of Japan. It was centered offshore between Honshu and Hokkaido. There have not been any reports of damage or injuries. There still may be a lot going on this week. Besides the already active regions, other places to watch may include: Indonesia, Central Asia, Iran, possibly parts of the Mediterranean such as Greece, Italy, or southeastern Europe, Alaska(Aleutian Islands), Chile...
