Update: 8/30/22

 

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred in the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge hours ago. It posed no danger as it occurred in the ocean in a remote part of the world. It also occurred in a divergent zone and it is the convergent plate boundaries where the largest, most dangerous tsunami-genic earthquakes occur. There still may be a lot going on within the days to come. It may or may not be seriously active anymore today, but there still is a high potential for more strong earthquake activity somewhere within this week so far.

Update: 8/29/22

 

So far, there has been a lot of activity in the world since yesterday. The largest one so far was a magnitude 5.9 off the coast of Sumatra(Indonesia). I have not seen any reports of fatalities, injuries, or damage anywhere. There continues to be elevated levels of global seismic activity. There is a very high chance of a large earthquake somewhere any time now or sometime this week so far. Regions of interest include: Japan(Ryukyu Islands, Honshu, Hokkaido), Kuril Islands(Russia) Philippines, Molucca Sea region(Indonesia), Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Fiji, parts of Central Asia..

EQ Watch: 8/28-9/5/22

 

There is absolutely nothing going on anywhere right now. It has been very uneventful over the past 2 days. I posted a watch starting on the 26th, but decided to delay it to the very end of the month and first week of September. This doesn't mean that it will stay quiet all day today and tomorrow. At this point, the most of it might be either during the last few days of this month or during the first week of September. At the same time, I will not be too surprised if it remains quiet for a long time. However, it should not be much longer before the next magnitude 6 or greater in the world. Areas I have been watching include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Molucca Sea, and Banda Sea region), Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, Japan(Kyushu, Honshu, or Hokkaido), the Kuril Islands region, Kamchatka Peninsula, western China, Myanmar, Afghanistan or Pakistan, eastern Iran, western Turkey, Central America, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji region... At this point, it feels like the heaviest of activity will be either by the end of this month or first week in September once again. However, that does not mean there will be nothing going on until then.

Longterm Forecast: 8/18-31/22

 

For now, it looks like the global seismic activity is settling down. While there may still be a chance of it suddenly flaring back up again, it could remain relatively quiet for the rest of the following week. The next wave of significant activity in the world may be towards the end of this month. In the meantime, it may not be totally uneventful. There may be intervals of a few significant earthquakes leading up to the end of this month/beginning of next month. At this point, that may be what is ahead. There may or may not be a particularly large earthquake around the end of August or in early September. There is no telling how big an earthquake will be. At the same time, I may end up springing back into action this weekend or next week with a new watch. There is no guaranteed date as to when the next surge in global activity will be, but at this point, it might be quiet for now.

Report: 8/14/22

 

A magnitude 6.6 struck south of the Kermadec Islands nearly 2 hours ago. There was no risk of a tsunami. There have been numerous earthquakes occurring around the world over the last day or two. A magnitude 5.9 hit Papua New Guinea, another magnitude 5.9 struck Vanuatu, a magnitude 5.5 struck western China, and a 5.7 happened in Indonesia. There still may be a lot going on out there. A magnitude 5.4 struck the Aleutian Islands less than an hour ago. The region of Northern Japan and the Kuril Islands may not be out of the woods yet. My Yurekuru Call has been going off multiple times this weekend.

Update: 8/13/22

 

So far, 2 magnitude 5.8 earthquakes have occurred in the world over the past 24 hours. The first quake struck just offshore of western Mindanao, Philippines. So far, there have been no reports of damage or fatalities. The second earthquake occurred 32 km SSW of Luganville, Vanuatu. There is still a very high potential for strong earthquake activity in the world. On a minor note, there have been more small earthquakes happening in the Eastern half of the United States. A magnitude 2.7 struck near the Tennessee-Alabama border early this morning, not that far away from where I currently live. There have also been some small quakes in the northeast over the past several days as well. There has also been some seismic activity taking place in the Pacific Northwest.

New EQ Watch: 8/12-17/22

 

I retracted the extended watch I posted the other day. I did not really feel like much was going on until just now. There are increased levels in activity worldwide. There is now a high potential for magnitude 6 or greater somewhere out there any time within the next 5-7 days so far. There could even potentially be a very significant event imminent somewhere. At the same time, there may not be that much going on. So far, it looks like it is heating up. Regions that have been more active lately include: Japan and the Kuril Islands, Western Iran, parts of the Mediterranean and Turkey, and the frequently active regions of Indonesia, the Southwestern Pacific, Papua New Guinea, Chile.. Japan and the Kuril Islands have been areas of interest over the past week or so. At this point, there could be a magnitude 6 or greater somewhere out there. At the same time, it may not be that immediately active yet. It could be showing signs of becoming active, but could end up being quiet again tomorrow. It feels unstable out there. There may or may not be a lot going on any time now, but it is worth being mindful of. As much as it may return to quiet again, there still could be something very significant going on somewhere.
