Earthquake forecast

Three planetary alignments from 16 to 18 May can cause strong to major seismic activity, most likely around 18-19 May. Two alignments on the 20th can also cause major seismic activity, most likely on 21-22-23 May. The seismic response to these alignments can easily reach high 7 magnitude in these critical time-frames.

Hi @Puma, just want to let you know that the twitter embed for the global seismic activity level that you are using often isn't very up-to-date it seems, that's the impression I had at least. And also in your last posts you were using an older tweet from May 14.
Hi thanks for the notice

Sometimes they do not update information on global seismic activity every hour. I publish the latest report and taking into account the seismic energy released lately. Normally the activity is the same in an average of 12 hours, however, it can change if after the report is published there is a large earthquake, then the activity can change from moderate to high, for example.

The last report from volcano discovery about seismic activity was 5 h ago: MODERATE

Before publishing the status of volcano discovery, I review the USGS publications and compare and usually coincide.


Now I see where the confusion is about the date. if you enter the link you just have to refresh the site for the latest data May 21

I hope I have resolved the question.
