Mw 7.1 Southern California
updated 10 June 2022

On 6 July 2019 a major earthquake occurred in Southern California at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 03:19:57 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.1.

Starting on 1 July, total lunar geometry jumped from index 13 to 20 and continued with peaks reaching index 17 on the 4th and 7th. These high peaks were the result of critical geometry between the Moon and outer planets, in particular on the 3rd and 4th, which resulted in strong tremors in the Queen Charlotte Islands Region and Southern California. The major earthquake on 6 July was followed by a strong tremor in the Molucca Sea a day later. Next to the critical lunar geometry Earth was about to align with Mercury and Mars and a convergence of critical planetary geometry occurred on 8-9 July. As a result, additional major seismic activity occurred on the 14th with the second lunar peak that followed on this critical planetary geometry.
