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

Anyone remember that guy that used to predict quakes based on electric signals from the earth. I believe his name was "Frank" Maybe. He seemed to always strike out, but I remember when everyone was following him.

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.

What a terrible spot to plant a city.

kali can slide into the ocean for all I care.
Interesting perspective.
As a Californian I can understand why you might think such thoughts.
We are thankful to know incredibly awesome folks as friends, neighbors, family and community members.
Yesterday’s 5.4 caused more severe damage in the Humboldt Bay region.
Lots of hurting folks.
Today a large winter storm is bearing down and we are hunkering down.
We got a half inch of snow.
Dear hubby was in a rush to get out to the coast and forgot his RX bag.
I hope he can get emergency refills.
And no, I do not wish huge catastrophic earthquakes for California.
Nor anywhere else.

Just downloaded MyShake app on my phone, of course, if/when I get an alert, the seconds of advanced warning will have been taken up setting my electric recliner back down so I can get up. Probably why Amazon delivery always rings twice. I'm in the geographic center of San Francisco on bedrock, so hopefully the shaking will be a little less up here on this hill.

If I'm still alive -- and we still have internet -- after this quake hits, I'll try to log on and post "Damn, they were right!" (In the meantime I'll have some coffee.)
With the unusual snow fall at out our place this morning our satellite dish did not connect to the internet.
If I am alive and tge net is up I will check in. With the incoming storm we might get more snow.
Feel free to message me your phone number and I will try to text if the net is down.
 
I don't have that much experience with them other than the observation that they show up just before the monster quakes go off.
That would be predictive, if you see them and realize what they are. I remember they were thought to be the pressure and sliding deep down would heat up groundwater which comes up as superheated steam, condensing as clouds, in a line pointing above the epicenter-to-be.

Neither here nor there.
yes, but its not the same. I'll take the floods and hurricanes. I live on a ridge now and very unlikely of flooding, but wind and rain can cause damages, I'll take that over earth quakes.

You are aware that Louisiana has several major fault lines?

Lots o'weirdness going on. Earthquakes in SC KS as well - mom is worried about a hole that showed up in her front yard. No lines underneath it, and the city shrugs and says 'we don't know what it's from'.

There's a lot of karst in that area, could be a massive sink hole developing. IIRC wasn't there a place in KS a few years back where a massive sink hole developed basically overnight in some farmer's field?

Read something years ago about “earthquake clouds”….

I've read part of the original research paper on this, it's very informative but not helpful for the most part. The theory is localized "active" section of a fault will indicate via instruments & Satellite photos increased heat rising from the area.

It was first noticed on Satellite photos where an opening in the overcast would appear. It has been postulated that the rising heat in the quake zone opened up these holes in the overcast sky. It some photos there was a thin line of clouds (heat induced) that followed the fault-line.

There is a second phenomenon where iridescent clouds form they are "Earthquake clouds" I really don't know much about that at all.

I'm down here in Oceanside, south end of Camp Pendleton. We have the San Jacinto fault line. The San Andreas is inland from us and lines up with the Salton Sea to the Gulf of Baja. Lots of small quakes. Last 5 pointer that I felt was back in about 2010 or so from the Gulf of Baja. That is where our larger ones come from.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Jan. 4th when a slow-moving CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. It was hurled in our direction by an M3.7-class solar flare (movie) in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR3176 on Dec. 30th.​
I read somewhere that the sun will be at its closest to earth on January 4th, as well. Increased gravitational pull is expected. I will see if I can find more info to post.

EarthSky: Earth closest to sun on January 3-4
Jan 3, 2022 | Written by Pam Knox

Do you think that we are the coldest in the winter months because the Earth is farther from the sun in those months than in our Northern Hemisphere summer? Actually, Earth is closer to the sun in January than in July because of its elliptical orbit around the sun. The difference in solar radiation is small between those months compared to the larger variation caused the tilt of the earth’s axis toward the sun in Northern Hemisphere summer and away in NH winter. In fact, the perihelion (the day on which we are closest to the sun) is on January 3-4 this year (depending on which time zone you live in). You can read more in EarthSky at | EarthSky.


So far I haven’t seen anything specifically addressing gravitational pull, or other physical effects on Earth.

the cascadia offshore quake and tsunami is already 100 years overdue...

Yeah, um...

I'm good with it being even more overdue, given that I'm just barely east of the I-5 corridor that they consider the boundary to which everything west will be, and I quote an expert, "toast".

That expert was definitely being a bit of a drama queen, but I still would prefer to not experience that earthquake in person.
