EQ WATCH: November 11/12 - 20, 2019

The chances of major earthquake activity worldwide anytime now or within the next week are extremely high. A major quake is due to take place somewhere at any moment or any day. Places that may be under the threat of significant or major quake activity include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, or the Halmahera region), East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Solomon and Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, possibly New Zealand, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Central America, Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Kuril Islands, Andaman Islands region, Myanmar, China, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Turkey and/or Greece...
There have not been any 7 or higher magnitude quakes in several months. The world is due for a lot more strong activity by now. It could start up anytime now or next week. There is still more seismic activity heating up in Southern California. The magnitudes could start increasing here anytime or within the next week or two so far. 
There is an extremely high chance of magnitude 4+ in Southern CA anytime or day now. There also could be more activity taking place elsewhere in California.

EQ WATCH: NOVEMBER 4-12, 2019

Two strong earthquakes have struck Chile and the Tonga region. There is a very high chance of major earthquake activity somewhere anytime now or within the next week. There could be a lot of dangerous activity taking place somewhere at anytime. Regions that may be under the gun include: Japan, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Indonesia, Andaman Islands region, Myanmar, Western China, the Hindu Kush region, Iran, Turkey or Greece, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands, Chile, Argentina Peru, Central America, and/or the Aleutian Islands.
There is due to be a magnitude 7 or greater somewhere at any time. There may or may not be more magnitude 3 or bigger in Southern California at any time. There could also be more activity taking place elsewhere in California and/or other parts of the West. There has also been some activity taking place in the Central and Eastern portion of the U.S.

It has been extraordinarily quiet here in Southern California for a while now. The EQs over the last day have dropped down to 12 around the region. There was a 15-hour gap between mag. 1+. If it continues to remain like this through Friday, I hope it stays relatively quiet next week as well because I will be out of town. I really want to be here for when a big one or THE big one happens. It being this quiet is concerning. If this goes on for another week, then there is an even higher chance more serious earthquake activity could follow. Nothing is ever set in stone. I'm watching it closely and will still be watching it from Tennessee next week, praying that the most of the action waits until I come home.
I have been gearing up for this for a while. It may not stay relatively quiet in Southern California that much longer. There could be something going on in Central California now. There were recently 2 magnitude 4.7s in that region - one of them being in the Oakland area. Just now, a magnitude 3.9 occurred South of Hollister - where the second tremor occurred. I would not be so surprised if that segment of the San Andreas fault snaps first - or perhaps a large one along the Calaveras Fault. It in fact, would not really surprise me at all. I started becoming concerned about that region when those twin quakes happened. Before anyone living there gets too alarmed, a large quake also might not happen there at all.
Like I said before, always take precaution just in case it is a precursor to a larger event. If there is a big earthquake up there, then that could set Southern California up for its big one even sooner. That could cause further strain on this segment along the SAF and it could potentially cause a chain reaction. However, it may not happen right away or at all for a while. I'm weighing all these possibilities and scenarios because it feels like the day the big one finally happens in Southern California is in the near future. It may not happen now or even by the end of the year, but it may not be that much longer. I just cannot imagine it being that quiet for many more years.
In terms of the rest of the world, there is still a very high chance of mag. 7+ somewhere anytime or day now. Yesterday, a magnitude 6.6 struck Mindanao(Philippines). Unfortunately, one person was killed. 2 weeks earlier, a mag. 6.4 occurred in the same area. In between there were only a couple of magnitude 6+ - one in the Vanuatu region and one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Southwest of Liberia(Africa). There is still a very high likelihood for mag. 7+ somewhere in the world within the next 2 weeks or sooner. Regions that could be under the potential threat for dangerous earthquake activity include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Halmahera, and/or Talaud Islands), Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands(Alaska), Central America, Peru, Chile, Argentina, possibly New Zealand(North Island), Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Loyalty Islands, Andaman Islands region, Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, Greece..
I have also more recently started to pay some additional attention to the Puerto Rico region. There was recently a strong earthquake there and there has been more activity increasing there and surrounding areas of the Caribbean. There also may not be anymore significant activity going on there for now.

It has mostly been less than impressive in terms of significant earthquake activity worldwide lately. However, it just now may be showing signs of acting up significantly somewhere. I switched back on my alert mode icon on Twitter. I created a new alert mode icon(shown here) for whenever it becomes more significantly active here in Southern California. So, it may be rare when I use it. I may turn it on whenever more magnitude 4+ quakes start breaking out around here or if there is a swarm that could be raising concern or any unusual activity.

I am not sure if it will be acting up in terms of mag. 3+ around here this week or next week. There is a decent chance of more mag. 3+ in Southern CA anytime or day now. I will be out of state next week. It will be interesting to find out how it will be by mid November. The sequence near Ridgecrest may have died down considerably and there have not been any widely felt aftershocks recently, but there is a good chance of it flaring up again at anytime or within a couple of weeks. That area is not out of the woods yet.
In terms of global earthquake activity, it has been far too quiet for too long. It should start becoming more violently active somewhere by now. A major earthquake within the next 2 weeks is highly likely at this point. It could even happen any moment now somewhere. Regions that may be under concern for significant to potentially major earthquake activity include: Central Asia(such as China), Iran, Turkey, Greece, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Northern Mariana Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Loyalty Islands, possibly New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka peninsula, Aleutian Islands, possibly Alaska, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Central America... If something else changes, I can always update via Twitter.

Update: October 25, 2019

There appear to be no signs of it acting up significantly anywhere right now. However, I will leave my alert icon(Twitter) turned on today because I will be away working. I am keeping it on in case more significant earthquake activity does start up in the world later on. It is due to start acting up violently somewhere. There has not been a major earthquake anywhere in a long time. This stagnant period could either continue on into next week or end anytime now or within the next 3-4 days.
It has also been extremely quiet here in Southern California this week. The day's worth of earthquakes on the real-time data map has remained well below 30. It even got down to about 15. Whenever more large earthquakes finally start occurring in parts of the world, regions of concern include: Central Asia, Andaman Islands region, much of Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Loyalty Islands, South Sandwich Islands, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Central America, Northern Mariana Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, Iran, Turkey, and/or Greece..
Those are potential candidates for the next set of significant to major earthquakes. I'm not sure what is next for California. More mag. 3-4+ could strike in Southern CA anytime or day now. It may also not act up at all until next week. It has been a while since our last magnitude 4 or greater. There may or may not be more mag. 4+ aftershocks near Ridgecrest anytime or day now.

EQ Watch: Oct. 23 - Nov 3, 2019

A magnitude 7 or greater somewhere in the world within the next 2 weeks is highly likely. It has not been a particularly active month so far in terms of serious earthquake activity around the world. There had not been a tremor of magnitude 7 or larger anywhere in a while. Especially since there has not been enough taking place worldwide this month, there must be a lot of strong earthquake activity following this relatively quiet period. A particularly large and dangerous event may be imminent somewhere any day now. It could happen tomorrow, 2 or 3 weeks from now, or possibly sometime today.
Potential candidates for significant to large earthquake activity include: Japan(Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands, Bonin Islands), Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Indonesia(Talaud Islands, Halmahera, Sulawesi, Java, Sumatra), New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands, Fiji, Myanmar, Western China and/or other parts of Central Asia, Greece, Turkey, Possibly Italy, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Central America, Kuril Islands, and the Aleutian Islands...
At this point, I'm not sure what is next for Southern California as of right now. It has been extremely quiet over the past 2-3 days. There could be more mag. 3+ taking place later, tomorrow, this weekend, or next week. As for right now, there may not be much taking place out here at all. We could be having a lot more activity taking place within the next 2-3 weeks. There could also be more taking place elsewhere in California any day now or within the next few weeks.

A magnitude 6.4 struck Mindanao, Philippines at 7:37 P.M. local time(4:37 A.M. PDT). The epicenter was closest to the town of Paitan and had a focal depth of 8.7 miles(14.1 kilometers). Following the temblor, videos immediately began circulating online on social media of people evacuating shopping malls in cities such as Davao. There is no tsunami risk. The Philippines state news agency has reported some power outages in Koronadal and people being taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Aftershocks are likely, including significant ones. There is also a chance something larger could occur later. At the same time, that might not happen, but the rule of thumb is to be aware and prepared in case a larger event does in fact occur.
The same principle applies anywhere else, including Central California. Two magnitude 4+ quakes occurred over the last day - a magnitude 4.7 in the Bay area near Oakland and another 4.7 Northeast of Gonzales just hours later. The first tremor occurred near the Calaveras Fault system and the other one occurred on the creeping section of the San Andreas Fault which is considered unusual on that segment of the fault. Although there also might not be a larger event in Central CA anytime now, there is still a potential for something potentially large happening. Again, at the same time, it may not happen at all and life will go on. Just be reminded that it is better safe than sorry.
There is still a very high chance of mag. 4+ in Southern California anytime or day now. There is also still a very high chance of mag. 6-7+ in parts of the world any moment or sometime within the next week. The other regions in the world that may be next include: the Talaud Islands, the Molucca Sea region and Halmahera(Indonesia), Sumatra(Indonesia), Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Sea, the Andaman Islands region, Myanmar, Tajikistan region, Iran, Turkey, Greece, possibly Italy, the Solomon or Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, the Samoas, the Kermadec Islands, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Central America, the Aleutian Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kuril Islands, and Japan.
