A very strong magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the Philippine Sea near the coast of Taiwan. Prior to this earthquake and further north, an M4.5 and an M5.4 earthquake had been recorded. According to USGS the quake was felt by over 23.6 million people across 3 countries: Taiwan (23.5 million), China (59,500), and Japan (1,730). USGS also issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses related to the earthquake. No aftershocks have been recorded so far.

Japan ends megaquake advisory on Nankai Trough disasters​

Japan on Thursday ended its call for higher-than-usual risks of a major earthquake, one week after a strong tremor on the edge of the Nankai Trough seabed zone caused the government to issue its first-ever megaquake advisory.

Citizens can now return to normal life as no abnormalities were observed in the seismic activity of the Nankai Trough located along Japan's Pacific coast in the past week, said Yoshifumi Matsumura, the state minister for disaster management.

A Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) expert panel on Aug. 8 released an advisory that there was a "relatively higher chance" of a Nankai Trough megaquake as powerful as magnitude 9, after a magnitude-7.1 quake hit the country's southwest.

While the advisory was not a definitive prediction, the government asked residents of a wide range of western and central regions to review evacuation procedures in case of severe earthquake and tsunami disasters.

Central Japan Railway ended its week-long precaution of reducing the speed of trains running near coastal areas, although the risk of another natural disaster, approaching Typhoon Ampil, forced the company to cancel high-speed trains connecting Tokyo and Nagoya on Friday.

Japan has predicted a 70%-80% chance of a Nankai Trough megaquake occurring in the next 30 years.

The government's worst-case scenario has estimated that a Nankai Trough megaquake and subsequent tsunami disaster could kill 323,000 people, destroy 2.38 million buildings and cause 220 trillion yen ($1.50 trillion) of economic damage.

In the past 24 hours, there were 1009 quakes of magnitudes up to 6.1:

●1 quake above magnitude 6
●3 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
●34 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
●112 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
●256 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
●603 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

A powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean 333 km from Kamchatka, Russia. The earthquake had preliminary 7.4 magnitude. A Tsunami Warning was issued when the quake struck and later dismissed. The earthquake was felt by over 270,000 people across Kamchatka Peninsula. USGS issued a Green (low) alert for expected fatalities and a Yellow (moderate) alert for expected economic damage. For this strong earthquake, 4 aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 5.1 quake that hit 30 minutes after the mainshock. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 9.0. It had occurred 72 years ago.

The following map shows the earthquakes that have occurred this August in the region from Taiwan to the Kamchatka Peninsula.

As can be seen, a first sequence began with the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan, the energy was distributed throughout the region and towards the east of the Pacific Ocean with M4+ and M5+ earthquakes, even reaching the Kermadec Islands. Within this sequence also two M6+ events occurred: Taiwan with M6.1 and Dolinsk, Russia with M6.5

A sequence commonly starts with an M7+ earthquake and produces around the region M5+ and M6+ earthquakes. If we take Japan as an example, these are the earthquakes that have caused the M7.1 earthquake and the most recent M5.2 in the Izu Islands.


So, a new sequence started with the M7.0 earthquake on the Kamchatka Peninsula. As can be seen, there is also a fulcrum or table tennis effect. In this case, the energy will move towards Alaska and the west coast of America, but also towards China (to a lesser degree towards the Hindu Kush), Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and to a lesser degree towards the Fiji region (Tonga, Solomon Vanuatu, Kermadec Islands).
​

In the past 24 hours, there were 913 quakes of magnitudes up to 7.0:

●1 quake above magnitude 7
●7 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
●31 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
●111 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
●236 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
●527 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

SSGEOS posted on its social networks:

"The coming days will be very critical due to a tight and unique convergence of planetary geometry at Full Moon. Be on extra alert from 19 to 23 August. Check out the latest video for more details."

A unique and very critical convergence of four planetary conjunctions on 18-19 August at Full Moon will likely result in a cluster of stronger earthquakes across the planet and possibly a very large earthquake as early as the 20th. Most critical time will be from 19 to 23 August.

Mexico: Seismic alert to be activated on cell phones ​

The head of Civil Protection mentioned that it is important that this project needs to be a guarantee, that is to say that it will sound 100% and for this, before the National Drill 2024 (on September 19 2024) a seismic alert will be activated on August 19 on cell phones as a test.

"On August 19 we are going to test this alert through cell phones. We have to have a 100% guarantee that this new alert system for the entire Mexican Republic must be enabled, that we have all the communication capabilities", said Laura Velázquez, head of Civil Protection

¡Prepárate! Alerta sísmica se activará en los celulares

La alerta sísmica ya no solo sonará en los altavoces sino también en los celulares para que los mexicanos puedan prepararse cuando se registren temblores.

A strong magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred in the Philippine Sea near Laoang Island island, Philippines. According to USGS, the quake was felt by over 11.3 million people across the Philippines. No special alert was issued for this event. For this earthquake, 7 aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 3.8 quake that hit 18 minutes after the mainshock. It is possible that this event is a response to the M7.0 earthquake in Russia over the weekend.
A M7.6 earthquake occurred in this area 12 years ago and was the strongest earthquake on record.


On August 18 the following planetary geometries occurred: Venus, Mercury, Neptune at 19:40 UTC and Mercury, Mars, Uranus at 20:43 UTC while on August 19 the following occurred: Sun, Mercury, Earth at 01:51 UTC and Venus, Earth, Saturn at 08:13 UTC. Finally the lunar geometry full Moon, Earth, Sun at 17:54. The presence of Mercury and Venus in alignment with external planets as well as the full moon suggest the occurrence of a significant event in the coming days.



SSGEOS has increased the probability of a significant event:
​

This is one of the very few times that all magnitude ranges show a high percentage. This is still a probability, not a certainty. Be on extra alert in the coming days, just in case.​

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT AUGUST 20_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours.

●M 5.1 - 4 km W of Bāramūla, India/
01:15:55 (UTC)/11.6 km depth/ USGS
●M 5.1 - 4 km NW of Bāramūla, India/
01:22:27 (UTC)/15.9 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.2 - 65 km NE of Shikotan, Russia/
08:24:23 (UTC)/102.8 km depth/ USGS
● M 4.7 - 19 km ESE of Simao, China/
15:04:39 (UTC)/ 13.7 km depth/ USGS
● M 5.0 - 46 km W of Finschhafen, Papua New Guinea/ 21:09:11 (UTC)/ 83.2 km depth/ USGS

As expected, the energy is moving toward the Hindu Kush region. India recorded two almost simultaneous M5.1 earthquakes. On the other hand, the island of Shikotan belonging to the Kuril Islands and very close to Japan's Hokkaido Island recorded a M5.2 earthquake. So far this is the configuration of the most significant earthquakes in Japan or near Japan as is the case of Shikotan Island.



No aftershocks have been recorded so far for this M5.2 earthquake. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.5. It occurred 61 years ago.

Fortunately no M6+ or higher earthquake has occurred so far, even though the conditions are present. Such is the case of the strength of the interplanetary magnetic field in the last days.

Total IMF reached 24 nT at 17/16:28 UTC
Total IMF reached 20 nT at 18/08:32 UTC
Total IMF reached 9 nT at 19/01:28 UTC

​

In the past 24 hours, there were 1,224 quakes of magnitudes up to 5.2:

4 quakes above magnitude 5
40 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
127 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
348 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
705 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

The excess of earthquakes up to magnitude 3+ is due to volcanic activity. Mainly in the Kilauea volcano that in the past 24 hours, has had 214 quakes of magnitudes up to 3.8.
