Earthquake activity in Southern California continues with close to 400 Earthquakes recorded.

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:01]Good evening everyone. How's it going out there? Welcome back here to a Sunday night.

[00:00:06]It is 10:31 p.m. It's California time here. Sunday, May 10th, 2026. Latest activity here on the earthquake 3D globe. Shows a 2.8.

[00:00:17]Looks like that's across the Central America area. Um, definitely got some movement happening out here across the West Coast, including up along the uh, Canada and the uh, well, it's a Pacific and the North American plate boundary up here. Looks like there's some movement happening uh, with a 4.1 around the Prince Roupert, Canada area. Some newer activity. Um, definitely got some adjustment taking place out here across the West Coast. And uh in general, seems like the entirety out here, including the Cascadia where there's uh looks like a couple earthquakes up here. Let's go ahead and check this out first before we get into the Southern California activity. 2.0. Not a big earthquake, but it is 13 miles deep there into the Cascadia subduction zone. Then a 9.1 over or a 9.1. Yeah, that could be happening there for the Cascadia. I just don't know when. Uh 9.1 miles for a 2.2.

[00:01:12]well inland uh throughout the day today.

[00:01:15]Let me double check the tremor counts out here. Stand by for just a second. I do think the trimmer counts are elevated once again. Uh which they are. Yes, they are. 117 epicenters of slowip events underneath the southern end here, the Cascadius subduction zone, the southern end underneath northern California and the southern coast of Oregon. And uh that could be why we're seeing some increasing earthquake activity out here.

[00:01:40]We're starting to see those stress signs uh take place. Whenever there's tremor counts occurring down underneath this area, uh you can bet that we're going to see earthquake activity happen out here.

[00:01:50]Nothing big, but it is increasing out there. I do believe we're at maximum pressurization there across the southern end of the Cascadia subduction zone. Uh the Bay Area, handful of smaller quakes out there, including a 2.7. That earthquake just off the Hayward fault here. That was earlier this afternoon.

[00:02:08]and also one right on the Hayward fault early this morning. Nothing big going on there across the Bay Area for now. Most of the movement, uh, you guessed it, down here across Southern California.

[00:02:18]Let's see what we got for our total tally right now. Okay, let's see.

[00:02:23]I had to go back the last week here because we've gone past the last 24hour threshold, right? It's only shown 235 earthquakes. Only only 235 earthquakes, which is still a lot. Uh but we're quickly approaching 400 earthquakes here from it's going to be yesterday's events and today's outside uh and within the Broly area of Southern California. Broly is somewhere down there. Just got to zoom in. There it is. Uh these folks down there getting quite a bit of earthquake activity happening underneath their feet. Everyone's wondering what's going on. Are we looking at something bigger? Well, let's take a look here and see what we got for the magnitudes out there today. The last recorded one, a 1.7.

[00:03:09]Um, the largest in the last 24 hours goes to that 4.7 here.

[00:03:16]Um, and let's see, that was just after midnight last night. Today for the 10th, let's see. We did have uh 4.7 3.3. I'm just trying to see when our uh last decent size magnitude here was today. There's still quite a bit of earthquake activ uh activity happening there. Mostly in the one and two range.

[00:03:37]There's a couple twos out there, but I don't see any three-pointers through the day today. And I was just looking at the um the readings here on the graphs.

[00:03:46]Right. This is one of the stations nearby Southern California there around the Broly area. There's a four-pointer from last night. 4.7. Quite a few threes in there. But if you look, uh, yeah, there's definitely no more threes out here, but there's still quite a bit of earthquake activity showing up, um, on that seismograph station out here around the Broly area. Um, so this could uh, this could uh, continue like this, maybe die out, but there's always a possibility here. It could restir up here. So, it's something we're watching right now uh, pretty closely. That's a lot of earthquake activity to to happen out here. You know, almost 400 earthquakes in in two days. That's uh technically a day and a half. There's a 3.0 3.0 outside of the area. I don't see any migration north yet um towards the San Andreas fault. Most of the activity here along the Sanentto fault zone working its way up north towards the Redlands area where there's been a handful of earthquakes there as well. Um, looks like that may be calming down, but uh, you know, don't let your guard down, folks. Definitely don't let your guard down. It's still an active area out there. Nevada still starting to, you know, still stirring up out here outside of Fallon. Quite a bit of earthquake activity here in the last 24 hours. 23 earthquakes there, uh, including 4.1. But, uh, yeah, let's see what we got here for a total tally. Look at that. Look at that migration here.

[00:05:18]You guys see that migration from Fallon over here kind of working its way to the southwest in terms of the newer activity here where this cluster stirred up today. And that's a oh man, let's see here. That's a good five 10 miles of fault system out here that's uh kind of rupturing towards the southwest where we're seeing the ongoing activity right now. Uh by the way, total tally 545 earthquakes. Crazy.

[00:05:46]This is just one area of Nevada uh that's been swarming like that. Uh we've had activity outside of Warm Springs and more recently the activity north of Las Vegas. Those areas look a little quiet right now, but man, it's been active out here across the West Coast here, folks.

[00:06:02]Quite a bit.

[00:06:04]Uh but man, look at all that earthquake activity in Northern California. All because the trimmer counts. You know, the trimmers are quite elevated underneath this area. And that is just a sign there that stress is building.

[00:06:16]I do think we're awfully close there to uh seeing something along that Cascadia subduction zone, if not the entirety out here. It seems like they've been pushing a lot of articles here recently regarding the Cascadia and the relationship of the San Andreas fault as well, how they can trigger one another or go at the same time in terms of full ruptures out here. So interesting that they would uh put that out here. And now all of a sudden we're getting all this activity.

[00:06:46]Um further up north here, let's see.

[00:06:49]Nothing major going on across Washington for now. There's an earthquake off the coast there, Canada, um Alaska area. Nothing major. There's some twos and threes out there, including a couple fours. We are seeing an uptick here across Japan um here throughout the day today.

[00:07:06]Nothing big. Quite a few fours, couple fives out there as well.

[00:07:13]Let's see. Yeah, see all this newer activity is lightening up like crazy out here. And that's been happening throughout the day today. I I do know here when things start to uh really stir up out here across the Western Pacific, it seems as though things kind of lighten up out here across the West Coast, California, you know, and Cascadia. It seems like things tend to die off. Yes, we've had earthquake activity throughout the day there, but nothing big. Um, it seems like the magnitudes out there are dropping slightly and that may have something to do with the increasing earthquake activity out here. Just seems like stress tends to relieve or when the earthquake activity happens out here, we get a little bit of stress release, so to speak, uh, across the eastern Pacific out here, but um, not all the time. Either way, this is, you know, quite a bit of earthquake activity out here.

[00:08:06]Lot of lot of uh events here. Nothing big. There's that five pointer just off the Nankai trough. One earthquake into the Nankai trough there. That's a major subduction zone across the southern coast there of Japan that's uh recently had a mega quake warning put on for it or put on it. Uh I think it's been about a year or so. Nothing ever happened, but uh it's could be coming up here for a big event. It's got these regular intervals there that happen. Um, last one was back in 1944.

[00:08:38]Quite a bit of deeper activity there across the Tonga Trench and some deeper activity limited there. Southern end of the Kerdc Trench and just off the North Island coast there of New Zealand.

[00:08:48]Nothing down south here yet, but I do want to watch that plate boundary across South Island.

[00:08:54]The rest of the planet, Atlantic Ocean, pretty quiet. Some activity stirred up there along the Pchili trench. Same for the Middle America trench. Uh it does look like the Gulf of California down here, the rift boundary out here, shown some activity as well today. There's a 4.3 earthquake. So when you factor in this activity and everything else here, you can see the broadscale adjustment that's taking place out here across this area of the Pacific plate. And many areas out here are primed. So this whole thing, you know, this is definitely trying to move out here. We're definitely trying to get some decent size adjustment going on, it looks like.

[00:09:31]Uh but so far we've been lucky. Nothing big, but just be on guard, folks. Let me tell you. Big island, big island of Hawaii. Couple earthquakes out there right now. Um there's a uh 2.7 up around the eastern side there, Monaloa, three miles deep.

[00:09:49]Let's go check out the Kilawa volcano inflation model here real quick. We'll run over here, then we'll check out space weather activity.

[00:10:00]All righty. Waiting on episode 47 coming up, right? Episode 47. Rinse and repeat cycle here since the end of 2024.

[00:10:10]That's what it's been doing. As you can look here on the map, end of uh 2024.

[00:10:15]Right about here is we've had that rinse and repeat cycle. Not for sure what happened here. That's kind of crazy looking. But uh we're almost already back up to the level where episode 46 was. So something's happened here recently. If you notice that these uh the inflation levels the time in in between these events the intervals are getting shorter compared to our last events. It take weeks here to build up you know the stress uh and the inflation there to have an eruption at Kilawa web volcano but something happened here to where it's now just shortlived uh the eruptions are and the runup time.

[00:10:57]So something's changing around there.

[00:11:01]should see an eruption here. Oh, in uh I think in maybe three or four days.

[00:11:09]There's no message yet in terms of their predicted window.

[00:11:17]Space weather activity. Wow, we're way down into the Bflare category. That's the boring class here. That little unexpected.

[00:11:26]Um let's see what we got going on here.

[00:11:28]4436. I say that unexpected because we have this area that uh came around the northeastern limb here that's been popping off in flares. Still quite complex out there, but looks like it's just kind of maybe redeveloping out there in terms of the magnetic complexity of that sunspot. Got it. This area over here as well looks fairly complex, but that's about ready to drift off the western limb. The flare threat right now still elevated though at 20% chance there for an X flare. M flare at 45% chance. Seaf flare at 99% chance. So this is just uh it looks like it's taking a little breather a breather so to speak. We do have now this is going to be very interesting here to see what stirs up this massive giant coronal hole mid latitude and it looks like it's deepening. It's growing out here. It's just about ready to turn in the more earthdirected view. These things at times in the past here. Not 100% certain though, but whenever these are facing the planet, it tends to stir up large earthquake activity. And I'm talking about earthquakes, you know, in the upper six and seven range or so. Uh, and just a major increase in earthquake activity. So, we'll see how uh the plate tectonics behave once that's uh current, you know, once it's facing the planet.

[00:12:46]It's getting close.

[00:12:49]No major roars there in the forecast for now. Quick glance at the space weather or the storm prediction center.

[00:12:55]Uh any major tornado reports out there?

[00:12:58]There is two it looks like across Texas.

[00:13:01]A land spout uh two land spouts it looks like.

[00:13:07]Aside from that, a bunch of uh hail reports and wind reports out there. So we do have that severe weather lingering overnight across portions of central Texas. tornado wind. Looks like the big threat is going to be some wind and the hell threat out there uh for the uh overnight.

[00:13:26]Now for the day on Monday, the day on Monday, that severe weather shifts much further to the east. Little 2% chance there for some tornado activity. A little bit of wind and uh yeah, little bit of hail threat out there as well. Uh quick glance at the long-term models here of the GFS model. We are looking at maybe some rain out here across California, but uh there's that storm system coming in. Looks like maybe Wednesday, Thursday. I don't expect much. Hopefully, it drops off the temperatures a little bit. It's getting hot out here, folks, for me. We're supposed to be 97 degrees tomorrow. We hit about 94 today.

[00:14:02]I'm just not I'm not doing too well with the heat. I I just don't don't like it.

[00:14:07]I'm ready for some cooler cooler weather out here, but I don't see anything in terms of cooler patterns for California right now. Uh man, so severe weather across the typical zones there of southern plains. It looks like northern plains, eastern portion of the country looking uh decent as well.

[00:14:27]The total accumulated precipitation runs out here looks pretty quiet out across California and the uh Nevada area. some rain across the typical zones here.

[00:14:37]Pacific Northwest as well.

[00:14:41]There's a little earthquake down in Chile. The um Antis station, you know, it's hard to tell. I do think some of these are earthquakes, those little spikes that are sticking out um above the thicker line. Nothing big, but there's still earthquake activity occurring out there in Southern California uh with this swarm outside or uh within the Broly area.

[00:15:03]So, just be on guard, folks. You know, sometimes they stir up and they go away.

[00:15:08]Sometimes they stir up and they're quiet for a little bit and then there's a bigger event. Just uh got to be on guard out here. We will catch you guys out here for the uh Monday morning update. Make sure you guys subscribe. We appreciate it. Uh, and if you can hype the video, it's a new feature here on YouTube that allows you to uh use some hype points to push out important videos there to maybe new people that haven't seen or heard of the channel. Uh, so it's pretty important to get this information out and um, you know, try to reach as many people as we can when it comes to the uh, earthquake activity, the ongoing earthquake activity out here. And um, I definitely appreciate that.

[00:15:51]Have a good one. We'll see you guys out here for the um yeah, Monday morning update. I need I need a little bit of sleep. I was out in the sun again today.

[00:15:59]I said I wasn't going to go out in the sun, but we made it another pool day.

[00:16:03]Got cooked again. Yeah, I'm I'm going to be inside here the next couple days just relaxing. Have a good one. We'll see you guys out here in the morning.
