What's next? -- updated 10 November 2017
Hurricane Harvey - Aug 24 (regained hurricane status) - Sep 1
Mexico Earthquake 8.1 -- Sep 7
Hurricane Irma -- Aug 30 (developed) - Sep 16 (most damages Sep 7-11)
Hurricane Maria -- Sep 18 - 30 (struck Puerto Rico Sep 20)
Mexico earthquake 7.1 (after shock from the 8.1) -- Sep 19
Las Vegas Shooting -- Oct 1, 2017
Wildfires in California -- Oct 10-
(the above list is not complete)
The wildfires are getting under control. So...
What's next? I say this because it seems something big happens about every week or two since the eclipse.
My guess, probably another earthquake.
Seeing as California has its Great Shake-out earthquake drill yesterday (10/19/2017), they may be the most likely to get a quake.
But there has been some other unusual tremor activity.
Maybe we'll get a few weeks (or longer) with a break. Although if you look at news around the world, there are a lot of disasters which go unreported in the US.

When I wrote the above, my thought was another mass shooting would probably be next, but I was thinking a big earthquake would be more likely.
Oct 31 A truck runs down and kills 8 pedestrians in New York City. It was a definite act of terrorism.
Less than a week later, Sunday, November 5, 26 people were killed and 20 wounded in a horrific massacre at a small town Texas church.
There have been some high 6-range earthquakes around the ring of fire, but nothing really "newsworthy." There was an unusual 4.0 tremor in central Wyoming on November 3.
