EQ WATCH: Update - 8/18/19

There is a very high chance now for magnitude 6-7 or greater worldwide. A strong or major earthquake is of a high likelihood anytime now within the next 5 days so far. After an extremely quiet past few days, a magnitude 5.9 occurred in the Northern Mariana Islands region. The regions that may be under the gun include: Central Asia(Western China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, or Afghanistan), the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(Greece or Turkey), Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Central America, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, or Hokkaido), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Indonesia, Andaman Islands, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, South Sandwich Islands, and/or possibly the coast of British Columbia.
There could potentially be something more significant looming along the Pacific Northwest Coast. There is also an extremely high chance of magnitude 3-4+ in Southern California anytime or day now. We are due for another round of activity. Something more significant could be on the horizon at this point. There is also a very high potential for activity elsewhere in California such as the Ridgecrest area, Mammoth Lakes, the Bay area, and/or Lake Tahoe.
There may also be more activity taking place in parts of Alaska(Mag. 4+) anytime now or within the next week.

EQ WATCH: August 14 - 25, 2019

At this point, there may or may not be any large and violent earthquake activity going on worldwide somewhere. While a magnitude 6 or greater may occur somewhere at anytime, it may hold off for now. However, there is an extremely high chance of a magnitude 7 or greater somewhere anytime within the next week. It even happen any time now. At the same time, it could delay another week or so. Potential places under the gun include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, or Sulawesi, Flores Sea), New Guinea or Papua New Guinea, East Timor/Banda Sea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand(South Island), Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Hokkaido, Honshu, Ryukyu Islands), Kamchatka Peninsula, parts of Central Asia including China, Northern India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region, potentially somewhere in the Northern Atlantic such as Svalbard, Iceland, or Reykjanes Ridge, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Central America..
Note that some of these mentioned areas of the world may be potential hosts for the next strong earthquake activity. This does not imply that all of these places could go off at once. A large quake may occur somewhere anytime now or a week or 2 weeks from now. A magnitude 7 or greater somewhere within the next week or two is highly likely. If it doesn't happen today or by Friday, it will likely be next week or perhaps the week after that.
The areas in particular that I have been concerned about recently include the Ryukyu Islands(or anywhere between Northern Taiwan and Southern Japan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(includes Eastern Turkey and Southern Greece), Central Asia(Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Northwestern China), Central America, and the Northern Mariana Islands. In terms of activity in Southern California, there is still a very high chance of magnitude 3 or greater anytime or day now. However, there may not be that much taking place for now, perhaps until this weekend or next week.
Another round of activity is due here. Something more significant could potentially be on the rise within the next 2 weeks or possibly sooner. Right now, there may be little taking place, but we are due for more activity. There is also a very high chance for more magnitude 3-4+ elsewhere in California. There could be something potentially heating up in the Mammoth Lakes area. There may also be activity increasing in other parts of the Western States including Nevada, the Yellowstone area, and/or the Pacific Northwest.

EQ WATCH: August 8-16th, 2019

There is a very high likelihood of magnitude 7 or greater somewhere in the world anytime now to within the next week. There could also be more significant volcanic activity taking place somewhere. A powerful earthquake somewhere may be imminent any moment now or within the next 1-2 weeks at this point. I have determined the candidates for the next possible major earthquake or more strong earthquake activity: Ryukyu Islands(the region between Northeastern Taiwan and Southwestern Japan), possibly the Eastern Mediterranean region from Greece to Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, possibly Iran, Myanmar(Burma), Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Halmahera), East Timor, the Philippines(Mindanao, Samar, Luzon), Taiwan, Japan(Hokkaido and/or Honshu) Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands, Papua New Guinea, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands, Kermadec Islands(NZ), Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, possibly Colombia, Central America..
The regions in particular that I am watching more closely now are the Ryukyu Islands or the area between Northeastern Taiwan and Southwestern Japan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(from Greece to Western Turkey), and the Afghanistan and Pakistan region. There has been more significant activity taking place in those areas most recently. However, the next major earthquake in the world may also not hit any of the 3 named regions.
It can also likely occur somewhere else.
The Ryukyu Trench is capable of a very large, tsunamigenic earthquake. It also is known to have a number of active volcanoes. The most recent earthquakes that have occurred in the area have raised concerns. Meanwhile, closer to home, there have not been any large aftershocks from the Little Lake sequence since last month. That does not mean that it is over at all. There is also due to be more activity heating up here in Southern California anytime or within the next week.

EQ WATCH: July 31 - August 10, 2019

More large earthquake activity worldwide is likely on the rise now. A magnitude 6.6 just occurred in the Vanuatu region. There is an extremely high chance of magnitude 7 or higher worldwide any moment now or within the next 7-10 days at this point. Regions to watch out for include: Greece/Eastern Mediterranean Sea region, Western Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, possibly Western China, Myanmar, Andaman Islands region, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi) Molucca Sea and Flores Sea region, East Timor, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines(Mindanao, Luzon), Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Loyalty Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan(Honshu, Hokkaido, Ryukyu Islands), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka peninsula, Aleutian Islands(AK), Central America(especially El Salvador), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina..
Almost all of the listed regions are places that are active quite often and have experienced a number of large quakes in recent years. I'm eyeing Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region now. There has been more activity than usual taking place there lately. This may include Eastern Turkey. Major metropolitan areas would include Athens and Istanbul. A large quake may also not happen at all there. It is just a place of possible concern at this point.
In terms of activity in Southern California, so far, more or less. More mag. 3-4+ is due here anytime or within the next week or two. Something more significant could be around the corner. However, there have been 4-6 hour gaps between mag. 1+ EQs here in Southern California South of the Tehachapi Mountains. The activity here has been somewhat low this week, but it could ramp back up again at any time.
There also could potentially be more sizeable aftershocks in the Little Lake sequence anytime now or later into the weekend. There could also be more activity taking place in the Pacific Northwest as well as Southern Nevada.

EQ WATCH: July 21 - 31, 2019

There is now a heightened chance for magnitude 6-7 or greater worldwide somewhere within the next week or anytime now. There are currently more signs of significant activity taking place in some active regions of the world. Regions to watch include: Northern Mariana Islands(Guam), Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Indonesia, Central Asia(Tajikistan, Afghanistan, or Pakistan region), Myanmar(Burma), Andaman and Nicobar Islands region, Japan, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, potentially New Zealand(North Island), Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Central America, possibly the coast anywhere from Northern California to British Columbia, Aleutian Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Kuril Islands, Southern Greece..
The aftershock sequence has died down here in California considerably. That does not mean there will not be anymore significant earthquakes here for a while. It could still start up again. There is also due to be more magnitude 4+ in Southern California(not related to the Ridgecrest Sequence) anytime now or within the next week or two. There may also be more seismic activity taking place elsewhere in the Western U.S. such as Nevada, Montana, or Idaho.

EQ WATCH: July 11-12, 2019

So far, there is an extremely high chance of more large earthquakes worldwide any moment now or within the next week. A magnitude 6.0 struck the Papua New Guinea region earlier and more strong EQs may be on the rise somewhere in parts of the world. Regions of concern include: Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Central Asia, Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, potentially New Zealand, Philippines, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands, South Sandwich Islands region, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Central America..
Meanwhile, there may still be more activity taking place here in California. The Little Lake sequence has been dying down in terms of bigger aftershocks, but the area is not out of the woods yet. There is still a potential for more significant aftershocks anytime or day now. There may not be that much activity taking place elsewhere in California, but there is a high potential for magnitude 3-4+ in Southern California any moment now, this weekend, or next week.

EQ Advisory: July 7-8, 2019

There continues to be aftershocks from Friday's magnitude 7.1 near Ridgecrest and Trona. A magnitude 6.9 occurred in the Molucca Sea region earlier, prompting a tsunami warning to be issued. There is still a very high chance for more major earthquake activity worldwide. Areas of concern include Indonesia, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region, Philippines, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Central Asia, Central America, Chile, Peru, Tonga, Fiji, Santa Cruz Islands, Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the coast of British Columbia.. There is still a potential for strong aftershocks in California. There might also be more activity taking place in Southern California unrelated to the Little Lake sequence. There is an extremely high likelihood of a magnitude 4 or higher quake somewhere South of the Tehachapi Mountains any moment now or within the week ahead at this point. Numerous tiny quakes are popping up all over Southern CA in addition to the Little Lake sequence.
