There is a bigger picture. There could be a earthquake/tsunami disaster event on the 25th or 26th from what I have been reading. The last two weeks have been busy in the ring of fire as well.


Those are impossible to predict. Especially specific dates.


Starting to get very worried:

West Coast Earthquakes Worry
Scientists

Scientists are unsure about whether or not
the recent spate of earthquakes that have
rumbled along the western Pacific Rim are
connected or not.

If they are connected, they could be
precursors to a major event sometime
soon, such as slippage along the unstable
Juan de Fuca plate off the US Pacific
Northwest.

A 7.8 quake on June 13 in Chile has been
followed by a 6.8 quake on June 14 in
Alaska, then a 7.4 quake on the 15th off
the coast of northern California, which
resulted in a brief tsunami warning along
regional coasts, and, as of today, June 16,
a 5.3 event in the Los Angeles area.

None of the quakes caused serious
damage, but the cluster in time has
seismologists watching the situation closely.

The US Geological Survey has rolled out a
new, online, real-time earthquake
prediction map for California showing the
probability of earthquake shaking over the
next 24-hours. The new online map shows
a clickable map of all of California, and is
based on previous earthquake sequences.
The system uses seismic information
networks combined with known patterns of
aftershocks to show the probability of
additional shaking in the next 24 hours.

Right now, the map predicts a 10-40%
chance of a quake south and east of Los
Angeles within the next 24 hours.

Subject: Stan Deyo Indicates Current EQ Data [Send Email] Send
Very Disturbing
Email

On June 15, 2005 Q-Files Program
scientist, Stan Deyo, Colorado;
indicated his current data of the
Earthquake Shaker Data is very
disturbing. Deyo issued a Watch
for the Pacific & Atlantic Coasts
of US/Canada, along wth careful
consideration of New Madrid Fault
areas! Stan Deyo indicated he had
never seen such data building as
this, especially after the recent
7.0 Quake off California Coast which he had issued Warnings. Deyo
indicated this was a Heads-Up to be
prepared and watchful as possible
in the next few days for an active continuation of the Earthquake
activity around the US and Pacific
Rim.
<http://standeyo.com>

Steve Quayle posts the Deyo Warnings:
<http://stevequayle.com>
and regularly gives EQ Information
and Data on The Q-Files Program:
Shortwave Frequency: 7.465 mhz.
Monday-Friday at 6:00pm Central Time.

And the psychics are off-the-charts in their terror. I've visited one site for months and I have never before seen them so terrified.

One predicted a major June 22nd earthquake in California and another with a good record predicted a 9.2. for August 14,2005 that would cause a tsunami for all of North/Central and South America west coasts and spread to Asia.

I usually don't believe them but it's time to watch very closely. What I pay attention to more is those two articles above.

Please be safe everyone! :eek:


I really hope they are wrong about an earthquake here today...the Inglewood/Santa Monica fault runs about a mile east of me, so if that's the one that goes, I'm in big trouble. The San Andreas is the one mentioned most prominently, but the Inglewood/Santa Monica fault is MUCH closer to Los Angeles, and could do even more damage.

There is a fault that runs directly under Temecula also. Disheartening discovery...thankfully, no one has been able to predict earthquakes, therefore I am not really worried that one will happen on the above mentioned dates...No need for anyone to live in fear...its a chance we take by living in this beautiful state...disasters happen everywhere...most are protected from them...LIFE IS GOOD....

Well there were 4 significant quakes last week and it wasn't the full moon. :wink:

A lot of this is people trying to find a correlation since earthquakes are nearly impossible to predict.

The date that the Moon rides high begings the most likely five-day period of earthquakes in the Northern Hemisphere. The date of
the low indicates a similar five-day period in the Southern Hemisphere.

The two day each month the Moon is on the celestial equator indicates the most likely time for earthquakes in both hemispheres.

Where did this come from? And what is the reasoning behind it?

Ya know what boys...until there is scientific proof that earthquakes are predictable...I'm just going to keep on keeping on...and roll with it... :)

I'd like to know because I've never read anything about that and I follow earthquakes pretty closely.

from jim berkland:

This is quite a confluence of astronomical events, which causes a lot of stress in the crust, in forecasters, and in people in general.
Last December, last January and this coming July are examples of similar conditions.

However, June is quite unusual, overall, and such a situation usually only exists about once a year.

The Seismic Window of June 20-27, 2005 is most propitious. It is based on the full Moon and solstice of June 21, the close perigee of June 23, just 31 hours after the syzygy, and the extreme tidal ranges of 8.9 ft. at the Golden Gate and 16.7 ft at Puget Sound on June 23rd. These are the highest tides of the year, with the exception of the maximum possible that occurred last January.

Based on all of these factors I predict with 80% confidence that one or more quakes will occur between June 20-27, 2005 with the following parameters:
At least one 3.5-6.5M within 140 miles (2-degrees) of Mt. Diablo (38N; 122W)
At least one 3.5-6.5M within 140 miles of Los Angeles. (34N; 116W)
At least one 3.0-5.0M within OR, WA.
At least one 7+M globally, probably in the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 80% of the strongest quakes occur.

Look at the shake maps...thats pretty easy to predict since there are small quakes all the time...

I'm sorry David and Brent.

It's from the Old Farmer's Alamanac. I actually had it in my post and ended up removing it before posting.

WOW... IMO a significant quake isn't til it gets above a 6.5. He's about guaranteed to get a 3.5 out of the deal... those happen at least one every couple of days.
