Quake Prediction Says "Signal Just Hit," Warns Of Potential Big Earthquake From San Francisco To LA​

An earthquake rattled parts of Northern California on Sunday for the second time in two weeks. The 5.4-magnitude quake was centered about 30 miles south of Eureka. On Dec. 20, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake also struck near Eureka.

Now one quake prediction research firm warned that the next big one could be imminent.

On Monday morning, Quake Predictions published a warning that read for the next two days -- there is a "dangerous situation" of the likelihood of a 7.0-magnitude "in the San Francisco Bay to NW of Los Angeles area."

The warning comes after two sizeable quakes hit Northern California in less than two weeks.

Sunday morning's earthquake was described as "more violent this time," Rio Dell Mayor Debra Garnes told CNN in an interview.
"It was shorter but more violent. My refrigerator moved two feet. Things came out of the refrigerator. There's a crack in my wall from the violence of it," Garnes said.
California has an average of five earthquakes per year with magnitudes between 5 and 6, according to LATimes. And the latest shakings might suggest a long overdue big quake could be nearing.

There is also a real scientific question (not woo) that hasn't been answered yet as to the role of a sudden huge amount of rainfall, and flooding might have after a prolonged drought on certain types of fault lines. No one knows if the weight of the water might affect them or not, but it would not surprise me if someday geologists do find a link. It probably only happens under certain circumstances and conditions. Still, it makes sense to me that a fault already getting ready to spring might be sprung loose by a sudden heavy weight of water pouring on it, especially in a short time period.

California's earthquake early warning system alerted 3 million residents ahead of Humboldt County quake

DECEMBER 21, 2022 / 3:49 PM / CBS/AP

SACRAMENTO -- California's earthquake early warning system notified about three million people about Tuesday's 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Humboldt County seconds before it struck, state officials announced Wednesday.

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) said the system, described as the nation's first, provided up to 10 seconds of notice to an estimated three million Android smartphones as well as to an additional 270,000 MyShake app users.

Android users received the alert without using an additional app because of the state's partnership with Google to incorporate the technology on all Android smartphones. Cal OES said that since Tuesday's earthquake, there have been more than 71,000 new downloads of the MyShake app.

The early warning system is designed to allow residents a few seconds to take protective action ahead of an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.5 or greater. The technology takes data from seismic sensors and sends warnings to potentially affected areas if the projected shaking at a particular location is at a certain level of intensity.

"The single biggest threat we face to life and property in our state is a sizeable earthquake in one of our major metropolitan areas," said Cal OES Director Mark Ghilarducci in a prepared statement. "This earthquake was another important reminder for Californians to be earthquake prepared for the next big one."

Tuesday's earthquake off the Humboldt County coast struck at 2:34 a.m. southwest of Ferndale and was followed by dozens of sharp aftershocks. About 12 people were reported as suffering injuries, including a broken hip and head wound, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said at a news conference interrupted by a jarring aftershock. Two people died — an 83-year-old and a 72-year-old — because they couldn't get timely care for "medical emergencies" during or just after the quake.

Cal OES said the alert system's underlying technology is also being used to automate protective actions such as slowing trains, opening firehouse doors, recalling elevators, shutting off water and gas valves as well as closing bridges and gates and notifying personnel in school and medical settings.

The system was introduced in 2019, on the 30th anniversary of the deadly Loma Prieta earthquake. To date, more than 2.2 million users have downloaded California's MyShake App. More information on the earthquake early warning and earthquake preparedness can be found at earthquake.ca.gov.

Neither here nor there.
but you still got a flood and hurricane lol

New Orleans sits on top of a major fault line, it's just that most people like New Yorkers, don't know of it's exitence. In fact, if there was any city in North America that was going to end up in the ocean due to a quake, it's not the west coast cities but it'll most likely be New Orleans.

Short but deadly
Read something years ago about “earthquake clouds”….

Yes. My husband pointed them out to me when we lived on the Oregon coast. They're kind of hard to describe without seeing them.
Also a sulfer smell gets in the air.
Whales try to beach and the ocean floor comes up a bit.
All these things happened right before the Japan quake in 2011 that I was privy to being on the coast when it hit. Had to evacuate for the tsunami. Fun times! NOT!
 

L.A.B.

Goodness before greatness.
Prayers said. Not everyone in that area is a goofball. Our member L.A.B. is near LA.

The online earth quake prediction guy, forget his name now, would also point out after BIG rains that quakes were a potential.

Looking at the map. I’m in the red zone.

I worked with a guy, that said he was working in a high-rise building in Downtown LA when a big quake hit. Said it was spooky as hell.

I was driving across The Vincent Thomas bridge - San Pedro CA, during a good sized 1994 So-Cal earthquake initiated.

The 4-WD Toyota 4-Runner I was driving at the time, swayed with the horizontal bridge combing, and could be seen against the stationary buildings on the port or starboard side. I also felt the swaying in the steering and suspension of the elevated vehicle.
