Due to upcoming events there is an increased probability of activity seeming to point at the Pacific Rim or the Ring of Fire.

Solar and lunar events combined with magnetic abnormalities may trigger global activity but the entire Pacific Rim seems to be of most interest.

The magnitude of the possible events may vary. This watch is simply suggesting that an increase in activity is possible anywhere in the world over the next 72 hours. Due to recent events the range of magnitude could exceed a 7.7M.

This is only a watch , the term "Watch" in this case would expect a chance of increased activity, it does not assure that an event or events will occur.

This is not meant to be a prediction but simply a reminder that a little preparation can go a long way. Water, flashlights, canned food, batteries & a radio are not hard to come by before a disaster.

The nature of weather is to change, and the best tip of all is Be Prepared!
