Earthquakes around the world

A great summary of the intensity of the solar flares and alignments that are happening IMO

The lunar geometries will involve Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. In addition, a planetary geometry will involve Mercury.

It is really a shame that they don't include the comets. Still, interesting.

It has been 16 hours since the last M5+ earthquake, which occurred in the Arafura Sea, Indonesia.

This activity occurred in a "seismic gap" between recent large earthquakes to the North (Kamchatka M 8.8, July 2025) and the South (Japan M 7.6, December 2025). This is a subduction zone where great earthquakes last occurred 2006-2007 (~M8.3) Frank Hoogerbeets​

The typical seismic cluster has also occurred.​

Frank Hoogerbeets mentions:

We can have seismic activity well into the 6th magnitude, maybe even approaching magnitude 7 as a result of this geometry. And that could be later today, tomorrow, I would say around the 11th give or take one day.​

The next peak will occur on January 14th with Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter involved and also a planetary conjunction involving Mercury, Earth & Jupiter, while the Moon was also in a conjunction with Uranus late on the 13th. By this date, the quintuple conjunction will be dissipating, so we could expect a seismic cluster typical of magnitude 5+ earthquakes.

​

● Earthquake forecast

We begin this period—from January 19 to 27—with a magnitude 6.0 earthquake, as mentioned above, which may have fulfilled the SSGEOS forecast. However, there is a high probability (70%) of a significant event occurring with a magnitude of up to 7.4 and, in the worst case, M8+

On the 19th, there was a lunar geometry involving Venus and a critical planetary geometry involving Mars and Mercury. The next critical period will occur between January 21 and 23, mainly with lunar geometries involving Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Neptune and Saturn.

On January 26, two critical planetary geometries will occur. The first involves Mercury and Venus with Neptune, and the second involves the Sun with Mercury and Venus. Around this day, a significant seismic event could occur.

Let's wait and see.

Mexico-Oxaca
There have been 5,069 aftershocks following the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that struck San Marcos, Guerrero, on January 2. Early this morning, the National Seismological Center reported several earthquakes in the country, the largest measuring 5.0.

The Mexican Government's National Civil Protection Coordination reported that following the 5.0 magnitude earthquake recorded 29 km southeast of Crucecita, Oaxaca, no sea level variations are expected, according to the CAT bulletin issued by the Ministry of the Navy.

Was as usual at this early hour, well into my second cup of coffee reading the breaking news section of RT when at 4:55 am a loud sound and unusual shaking of the house came out of no where. Earthquake are not that common in my region of Canada, here is what a google search as to say.
While thousands of minor tremors occur yearly across Canada, in the Ottawa-Gatineau (Outaouais) area, you can expect to feel a small earthquake (Intensity III+) about once every three years

Well it was a 2.8 nothing to worry but there was another one on January 5 of 3 so we should be ok for the next 3 years lol.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 20, 2025

A very strong magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the Bismarck Sea near Bagabag Island, Papua New Guinea

The M6.1 earthquake recorded by BMKG in the Bismarck Sea was updated to M5.9 by USGS, EMSC, and GeoAU, among other agencies.

A typical seismic cluster before and after the M5.9 earthquake in the Bismarck Sea occurred. Seismic activity was mainly concentrated in the western Pacific Ocean. However, after the M5.9 earthquake, another strong earthquake occurred in Tanzania in eastern Africa with a magnitude 5.4, very close to the aforementioned underwater collapse in Mayotte (Madagascar)​

(Pierre) What was the cause of this monochromatic earthquake that lasted 20 minutes last month off the coast of Madagascar?

A: Grand chamber collapse deep underground. Like a deep sinkhole. And extremely large!!!

●M 5.4 - 49 km SSE of Mbumi, Tanzania
2026-01-20 17:11:38 (UTC) USGS

According to the USGS, the earthquakes that occur here are of low intensity. There is no record of an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 5.0​

Strongest in 126 years
The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Tanzania since at least the beginning of the previous century (our records start in 1900). No other quake of equal or greater strength had occurred near the present epicenter since then. Volcanodiscovery​

33.900°N 116.170°W. 3.7 km depth

This quake was likely an aftershock of the 4.9 quake 12 mi north of Indio, Riverside County, California, United States, Jan 19, 2026 05:56 pm (Los Angeles time), which had occurred 1 day 7 hours earlier.​

The epicenters of these earthquakes occurred in an area where the San Andreas Fault interacts with other faults (such as the San Jacinto Fault), and are not directly on the main San Andreas Fault line.

Some comments on social media or videos mention tremors "near" or "right next to" the San Andreas in this region, but for this specific events it is more associated with typical seismic activity in Southern California
