The energy of the seismic swarm in Hawaii is moving towards Central America and Nicaragua and Guatemala registered M4.8 earthquakes while the Mexican Southeast, specifically Tonala Chiapas registered a M4.0 earthquake.
M5.4 earthquake in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia was an aftershock of the 7.0 quake North Pacific Ocean, 103 km east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka, Russia on August 08
For the time being, according to SSGEOS, there is a 90% probability of a M6+ earthquake. Let's wait and see.
