Atmospheric Fluctuation detected 1 day ago
20230517_184218.jpg
Earthquake of 6.4 shakes Guatemala and is felt in Chiapas, Mexico

The tremor, which originated at a depth of 256 kilometers, was felt in southern Mexico and El Salvador, authorities said.

The epicenter was located in the department of Totonicapán, 78 kilometers northwest of the Guatemalan capital and about 100 kilometers east of the Mexican border, according to USGS data.

No damage or casualties have been reported so far.

No earthquakes of magnitude 5+ were recorded in the past 24 hours.

After two days of low seismic activity, the energy of the M7.6 earthquake in Tonga on May 10 breaks in Central America, so a response is expected in North or South America.


● Summary

Seismic activity level has been at high levels in the last 24 hours. This is the last chart posted by Volcanodiscovery at 23:00 UTC on May 17 Global seismic activity chart

● Earthquake Forecast: An earthquake warning was issued due to critical geometry and was estimated to reach magnitude 7.5
On May 10, the M7.6 earthquake occurred in Tonga.
Critical planetary geometry on 9-10 and 13-14 May can result in strong to major seismic activity, potentially reaching mid 7 magnitude, most likely around the 11th and 15th. Have an earthquake plan!

This was followed by an M5.9 on Ryukyu Island in Japan. Then in the next critical geometry on the 13th and 14th there was the possibility of a large earthquake but that did not happen, however a seismic swarm did occur.

Then we had a lunar peak on the 17th which was also announced in the previous update and coincided with the M6.4 earthquake in Guatemala.

What can we expect next week? We see a clustering of critical planetary geometry on the 20th and 21st including a lunar geometry

Following the lunar peak on 17 May, there is still a slight possibility of larger seismic activity today. Increased seismic activity is likely to occur 20-21 May Typically above M5.6. A larger seismic event may occur around 22 May that could reach M6.5 and in the worst case higher than M6.5. Much depends on the condition of the earth's crust and the stress between faults.

According to Analyst Jesus Ramos, the energy from the Loyalty Islands earthquakes is directed towards the Americas, mainly central Chile, Central America and Central Mexico but also towards Indonesia, Japan, Kamchatka and Alaska.

The M7.7 Loyalty Islands earthquake was the second strongest of the year after the M7.8 earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
chrome_screenshot_1684539162908.png
According to Ka-tet's forecast for the next 7-10 days is likely:

● Indonesia at worst case M6+.
● Japan and Kamchatka Peninsula M6+ worst case scenario M7.2
● Central and southern Chile M6.5 worst case M7+ (Concepción and Constitución area)

Be on watch for the activity of the Nazca and Cocos plates; if earthquakes occur in those plates, an earthquake of greater magnitude would be imminent for Chile.

● Southern Mexico (Guerrero and Chiapas), and Central America (towards the Gulf of Panama) M6+ in the worst case M7+
