● Atmospheric Fluctuations recorded by SSGEOS March 23-24, 2023




On March 23rd SSGEOS detected atmospheric fluctuations on the west coast of Mexico. Seismic activity on March 24 increased, fortunately the earthquakes were moderate. According to SSN data:

● M4.2 Mar-24 22:53:31 UTC, 128 km to SW of Tonala Chiapas
● M4.2 Mar-24 21:45:30 UTC, 40 km to NW of La Mira Michoacan

● M4.1 Mar-24 08:49:40 UTC, 32 km to NE of Crucecita Oaxaca
● M4.0 Mar-24 07:29:48 UTC, 5 km to SW of San Marcos Guerrero

According to Ka-tet's analysis Mexico could be one of the zones to experience an M6+ and in the worst case M7+ earthquake in response to the M6.8 earthquake in Ecuador. SSGEOS atmospheric fluctuations indicate a period of 1 to 6 days after the record.


● Summary

Seismic activity level has been at moderate levels in the last 24 hours. This is the last chart posted by Volcanodiscovery at 00:30 UTC on March 25 Global seismic activity chart

According to the latest update of the seismic analyst Jesus Ramos (Ka-tet) the severe geomagnetic storm of the past few days can be added to the geological factors that would trigger a worst-case M7+ earthquake in four areas, mainly South Italy-Greece, Chile, Iran region (Iraq, Pakistan, Tajikistan) and Japan.

Iran region recorded two moderate earthquakes and Turkey two more M4+ earthquakes in the last 24 hrs

Chile has recorded two earthquakes. These earthquakes occurred far north of the area where a M6+ or in the worst case M7+ earthquake is expected. So possibly the next impact will be in the expected area.

The largest recorded earthquake to have occurred in the Caribbean is believed to have been the El Cibao earthquake in the Dominican Republic in 1946 (77 years ago) with aftershocks extending into 1947-48. The earthquake was of magnitude 8.1 and generated a tsunami which caused 75 deaths and rendered 20,000 homeless.

Within hours and no later than April 2, Ka-tet issues an earthquake warning of M6+ and in the worst case M7+ for Chile and especially for the areas of Osorno, Los Lagos, Valdivia, Concepción, Araucania and Temuco.

Two more earthquakes in Chile, one of them (M4.7) in the Bio bio region where a significant impact is expected.

Ka-Tet mentions that this preliminary 5.1 earthquake (already updated to M4.7) may be a foreshock.

A earthquake of preliminary magnitude 5.1 is registered in Concepcion BioBio Chile this is extremely important because it is exactly in the area where we have the alert for an earthquake that can be up to 7.7 and I do not rule out that it is a precursor MAXIMUM ATTENTION awaiting final information

Another one in the region

There was an earthquake in the Democratic Republic of Congo that USGS reported as M5.0

It is an unusual earthquake. Congo is not characterized as a seismic zone, so far this year no earthquake had been recorded and during 2021 only 23 earthquakes were recorded and were labeled as not significant (less than M2)

Earthquake M 5.2 north of Lake Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo The epicenter 71 km north/northwest of Goma, at a depth of 40 km, according to EMSC.

Based on the Uranus cycle, there is a higher probability in 2022-2023 for a M 8.7+ earthquake". How accurate is the relationship between the so-called Uranus cycle and the recurrence of large earthquakes?

A: 75 percent.

On March 27, a planetary parade made up of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Uranus will march across the sky.

Frank Hoogerbeets of SSGEOS mentions in his latest update that such an alignment may cause strong seismic activity. Analyst Jesus Ramos of Ka-tet also mentions this alignment, however, he focuses more on the movement of energy between tectonic plates. All in all, it can be mentioned that three events may cause strong seismic activity in the coming days:

1. The severe Geomagnetic Storm of March 23-24.
2. The planetary alignment of five planets
3. The movement of energy in response to large magnitude earthquakes in South America, Turkey and the Hindu-Kush region.

"This morning we had the Sun, Mercury, Uranus in conjunction. It will be followed in about 24 hours by the Earth conjunct Mercury and Jupiter. As I mentioned in the previous update, that will be a critical conjunction and we could see a strong to major seismic event as a result." Frank mentions in his latest video.

Frank also mentioned via Twitter that "a stronger (after)shock is possible in or around Central Turkiye in the next few days." He also published the atmospheric fluctuation that occurred in the Hindu-Kush region.


The latter coincides with the earthquake warning that Jesus Ramos has issued for the Hindu-Kush region.

In the midst of all this seismic activity, the first point of impact would be Iran, the north of Saudi Arabia and the northwest of Pakistan, and it is not even ruled out that Turkey could again suffer a major impact.

For the time being, we have 592 days elapsed without an M8.1 earthquake and longer without an M8.3 earthquake which occurred in Chile in 2015, 2749 days ago or 7.5 years ago

Very strong mag. 6.2 earthquake - North Pacific Ocean, 177 km east of Aomori, Japan

So far, one of the four forecasts for an earthquake ranging from M6+ to, in the worst case, M7+ has been fulfilled.

The following impact points are confirmed for Potential M7+ earthquake in America and Europe after what happened in Ecuador the global turmoil does not end Mexico Chile Japan Greece Turkey MAXIMUM ATTENTION the next days are crucial!

According to the latest update of the seismic analyst Jesus Ramos (Ka-tet) the severe geomagnetic storm of the past few days can be added to the geological factors that would trigger a worst-case M7+ earthquake in four areas, mainly South Italy-Greece, Chile, Iran region (Iraq, Pakistan, Tajikistan) and Japan.

Atmospheric fluctuations were recorded by SSGEOS three days ago for the regions of Japan, the Kamchatka Peninsula and Indonesia-Philippines.

According to Ka-tet and SSGEOS forecasts, other areas that could experience an M6+ and in the worst case an M7+ earthquake in the next few days and up to April 2nd are

● Mediterranean region. Mainly South Italy and Adriatic Sea, Greece and Aegean Sea and Cyprus.
● Hindu-Kush region. Mainly Iran, Pakistan and northeast Turkey. SSGEOS does not rule out the possibility of another strong earthquake in Turkey in the coming days.
● South America. Mainly Bio bio region in Chile.

This morning SSGEOS recorded an atmospheric fluctuation (1-6 days for the occurrence of the event according to Frank Hoogerbeets) for Central America and the Caribbean.

Q: (MK Scarlett) What is the average period (in days) between the atmospheric fluctuation that forms these cloud anomalies and a potential earthquake?

A: 3 to 7.

Potential for a strong to major seismic event, possibly Caribbean, (Central) Americas according to latest atmospheric fluctuations.

At 23:55 local time, a strong M4.7 (by European standards) earthquake was felt in Naples, specifically the areas bordering the Campi Flegrei area. On social networks it is reported that citizens in the areas of Pozzuoli, Bagnoli, Agnano and Fuorigrotta clearly felt the quake and some people took to the streets, abandoning their homes.

Weak shaking might have been felt in San Salvo (pop. 17,100) located 35 km from the epicenter, Isernia (pop. 16,900) 39 km away, Termoli (pop. 31,000) 40 km away, Vasto (pop. 30,400) 43 km away, San Severo (pop. 54,900) 59 km away, and Foggia (pop. 137,000) 79 km away.

It is worth remembering that there is an earthquake warning in effect until April 02 for southern Italy and the Adriatic Sea. Worst case scenario with an M7+ hopefully this will not happen.
