Global Earthquake Forecast 

West Coast watch issued

Japan be ready




Published on Aug 7, 2015
A noteworthy rebound of seismic activity is showing across the Pacific plate.

A series of deep earthquakes along the Eastern and Western Pacific has precipitated a new round of shallow larger earthquakes on both sides of the plate, further displacing areas across North America, Central America, Asia and Europe.

Going forward (over the next 7 days - beginning August 8th) we can expect renewed activity to strike the Southwestern United States. This puts Los Angeles, San Diego, Southern California into the mix for the next 7 days.

Keep watch for noteworthy activity to develop across the Southwestern region, specifically for M5.0 seismic unrest to begin showing along the West Coast of the United States. Could develop as far South as Salton Sea or as far north as Mono Lake California (northeast of Los Angeles towards Central California).

States along the edge of the craton also need to be on watch from Northwest Nevada .... Yellowstone (Idaho/Montana/Wyoming)  .. South along the craton edge spanning the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. 
  
The western portion of the craton could see M4.0 earthquake activity strike near the dormant volcanoes shown in the video over the next 7 days.

Renewed M4.0 activity, possibly even greater, should strike Kansas near the Oklahoma Border.

Rumbles and booms should be heard along the east coast (New England) -- and we should see another mid M3.0 to near M4.0 along the northeast edge of the craton in Quebec or possibly further east in New Brunswick, Canada.

Asia should be on watch from Central Japan, south along the Izu trench towards Nishinoshima volcano.. then due west towards Okinawa / Taiwan. 

Next 7 days - this region should show a noteworthy earthquake above M6.0 but under M7.0 -- based upon the activity in the region currently. The magnitude may go up IF we see new deep earthquakes which are about M5.0 in the next few days (keep watch for new deep events!!)

Further West.. professionals are watching Nepal for possible large activity ABOVE M7.0 -- but they didn't put a time frame on it -- just saying there is still pressure there which will release at some point (their words not mine).

Watch the areas just East and West of Nepal for above M5.0 activity over the next week.

Further west across the Middle East going into south Europe.. keep watch in Iran near the Turkey border for a possible larger earthquake which could cause damage. Possible reaching upwards beyond M5.0.

In Europe, southwest Greece along the coast should see an upper M5.0 to lower M6.0 reset the activity pushing north since the UK just released the pressure via a M4.2 earthquake off the shores of England.

The Puerto Rican trench now needs to be on watch for a possible larger earthquake south of Cuba reaching northeast towards Haiti / Dominican Republic. Could reach upwards of a M5.0 and get everyone's attention. This larger earthquake should strike the trench west of Puerto Rico.

Watch the south Caribbean just in case.. we saw a rare M6.5 earthquake + Kick 'em Jenny volcano set off alerts over the past 2 weeks in this location north of Venezuela.

Central and South America should be out of the mix for the time being.. if there were to be any large movement -- it would occur along the coat of El Salvador going in to Nicaragua. I didn't name a magnitude in the video but, if an event were to hit, I would expect it to only be in the lower M6.0 range since the cluster of earthquakes already in central America must be releasing some of the building pressure.

Overall this is a huge earthquake forecast. One of my longest and one covering almost every area on the planet (including Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas).

Have an earthquake plan and be prepared -- just in case.
