Massachusettes may quake soon

#1 Postby sully_county » Sat Apr 28, 2007 3:10 pm

Just a heads up, an expert earthquake forecaster is bringing up attention to be alert in eastern MA for a possible earthquake of 4.0 to 6.7 magnitude.

Please take this seriously, he predicted a 4.0 to 6.5 quake to occur near London, England on April 22.

London prediction:
April 22, 2007 at 11:33 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London England 4- 6.5__ 4/22-4/30
Some chance for Germany or Switzerland.Poland maybe.
London is the aproximate location.
Subwindow..23- 24th probably a 5.2 quake
London is not a quakey place but they did get that big swarm of micros 3 years ago.
Sometimes storms strike instead of quakes ,this looks like a quake.

Massachussets prediction:
Steve
Subject: Massachusetts 4-6.7 mag 4/28-5/5
Mass has high potential now , but it may strike off shore.
Last night my right ear east went partially deaf for 1 hour the loud speaker in the TV made strage crackling sounds. Speakers are magnets and coils. Magnets zappout near quakes. There was disruption in the magnetosphere.
From Atlantic off Cape Cod to the Hudson Valley NY.
along 41.75 north. Strongest suspiscions are for the coast to off shore Massachusetts. Because the hearing was so affected I suspect greater than 5 magnitude.
Subwindow: 28th-30th
I am just North of Newport RI and Narragansett Bay so it may strike there.
The other day I posted a dream of my cat Dracula returning, she left after the big Tonga quake. The other cat left after a local 2 mag. Dracula hasn't returned ,it just may be a dream signal for a quake.
I am wondering if the building swaying dream may be a Boston skyscraper.

I just dont get how you predict an earthquake.

I've been attempting it for over a year. It is a very difficult science, and majority of it actually involves the psychics.
Theoretically, first thought is usually the correct thought.

Also, it involves knowledge of space events and being aware of Earth changes.

It's more complex then predicting the weather non-the-less.

Whether you believe it or not, my most famous prediction was the 6.7 Japan quake and 7.2 Vanuatu quake that occured 1 minute apart last month. I put out an email and chat room warning to many members of the seismic community only hours before each quake, right down to their locations. But, it's for you to decide whether or not I actually did this.

I can see that it is possible but it is extremely hard to predict the time of a quake and where. They have been trying to predict when the san andreas will slip up for years. Im not saying that it is impossible.

dreams of cats returning are earthquake predictions indicators? interesting.

According to the late Charles Richter, there was no such thing as an expert earthquake forecaster-just charlatans and fools.

I remember back in the early 90s when some fellow predicted a massive quake on the New Madrid fault. One of the radio stations in KY played "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," "I Feel The Earth Move," "Shake Your Booty," and a gazillion other songs like that in "honor" of his...ahem...faulty prediction.

A few years back, I heard about this guy who made a math formula to predict them and he was supposed to be the most accurate.I saw it on the Discovery channel and dont remember his name.

That's what I like about living in Texas, we never get any earthquakes. Quite likely, it's a slight chance though.

What about earthquake sensitives?

Honey bees are very sensitive to vibration as they use this in their elaborate dances to communicate where the food is at. There have been many reports of Bees swarming prior to earthquakes.

Such behavior immediately prior to an earthquake is not
difficult to explain, as seismic P waves travel faster through
the crust than the associated S waves by roughly 2–4 km/
sec. If organisms are sensitive enough to detect vibrations
accompanying the arrival of P waves, that sense could provide
enough of a warning to trigger a death-avoiding response
immediately prior to the arrival of the more damaging
S waves. Only in very close proximity to the epicenter
will the shaking start without appreciable warning. As moderate
to large earthquakes like Loma Prieta can cause liquefaction
at distances of 50` km (Pease and Orourke,
1997), it is reasonable to infer that burrow collapse could be
triggered in loose topsoil at greater distances. Hence, animals
that live tens of kilometers from the epicenter have
several seconds after detection of the P wave to escape the
effects of the energetic S waves. Although anecdotal in nature,
these observations support the hypothesis that a potential
seismic-escape response is present in the behavioral repertoire
of animals, and that it can be released at least by the
sensory perception of low-frequency vibration.
In the case of P wave arrivals, the sensory ability that
triggers the seismic-escape response is clearly acoustical or
mechanical in nature, and it is even felt by humans on occasion
(K. Sieh, personal comm., 1998).


Bees are also thought by some to be able to detect quantum magnetic effects using the earths magnetic field to navigate. Large underground earth movements do create small differences in both local electromagnetic and gravity fields but those large kinds of movements usually occur when its too late to sound the warning.

Anyone know of a resonance method that could be used to detect which parts of a fault zone have rocks under the greatest stress?

IMO, I think nature can do whatever it wants without giving us enough warning to do anything. Look at the huge tsunami a couple years ago. Even with a warning, there would have been total destruction. I think a quake can occur anywhere. We had a 7 point earthquake and a tsunami in the early 1900's. As we have seen with nature, even warnings have not helped much as with New Orleans. Nature has a mind of its own. Would early detection of an earthquake really help much. Panic, like in SanFrancisco would be horrible. In some cases, there would not be enough time to get people out. The destruction would be the same. I think we should heed warnings and just hope we can save lives with them.
