Tropical Storm Agatha struck Guatamala with 40 mph winds and a lot of rain on May 29. We should now watch Grozny, Tehran and Iran, Pakistan for about a 5.5 to 6 Richters shaker through July. Not much else happening folks! So here's the SECOND INSTALLMENT of the outline from my book "My Earthquake Memoirs":
CHAPTER FIVE--Start of The New Era in Earthquakes--I tracked the earthquake energy from a storm in the Gulf of Baja California to North Dakota (around early 2003 or so) and they had a rare earthquake there. Then, I tracked the energy from Hurricane Lili and they had an earthquake in Italy at which time I discovered this earthquake energy travels under the ocean.
This was when I began using a globe to track this energy all around the world, something I wasn’t able to do with maps. This lead to my tracking the energy of Hurricane Claudette to Fukushima, Japan and I was within 5 miles of the epicenter and had about my very first copy for myself of one of my EQ Alerts that I had been sending out, after learning how to save an E-Mail.
Next, while I was now writing my first book about earthquakes we had a severe winter that was similar to the one that preceded the Northridge earthquake and so on December 11, 2003, I sent out an alert for California and on December 22, 2003 they had the Paso Robles earthquake which they call the San Simeon earthquake, a 6.5 Richters Magnitude earthquake.
Super Cyclone Debbie made landfall at Australia during that same time, with 200 mph winds and I watched for a major earthquake. On December 26, 2003 Bam, Iran was hit by a 6.7 Richters Magnitude earthquake killing 40,000 people. It was on that note that I went on after weeks of studying to discover just exactly how the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate moves. This discovery became very valuable in the future and is a key to tracking earthquakes all around the world today. When Hurricane Ivan struck Florida in 2004 I put that knowledge to use in my “EQ Alert California” sent out on the Sunday night before the Parkfield, California earthquake struck on that Tuesday. I end this Chapter by saying in the future they’ll probably prefer my way since Parkfield was long a center for old style predictions itself.
CHAPTER SIX--Blogging and The Sumatra Earthquake--Super Typhoon Nanmadol made landfall at Taiwan December 4, 2004 and I immediately began tracking this next potential earthquake. At the same time I was now Blogging about this stuff on my new journal on the internet, as it was happening. This Chapter explains how I was now entering the internet age and also sent out E-Mails titled “Big EQ Alert” in the final days before the major earthquake we today know as Sumatra 2004. That alert explained Japan, China, Indonesia, Philippines and as big as 9 or 10 Richters and that great earthquake and tsunami event occurred just two days later. While there was never much mention of my new blog also being right, that went on to also be my first big blog entry, too. Although that specific social network has long since became defunct and that old online journal no longer exists.
This chapter, Chapter 5, concludes by explaining some of the other internet services and social networks I’ve gotten involved in to make this the new era in earthquakes or maybe of earthquake prediction.
CHAPTER SEVEN--All Clears, And Official Predictions--I had to write out my alerts in a new format in order to file an Official Prediction with the California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council. Up to that time I had simply been writing out an alert for an earthquake, but an Official Prediction would in essence mean, “Predicting,” an earthquake which I was never actually meaning to be doing.
Beginning in about 2005, I have been filing an occasional Official Prediction with CEPEC and one or two of those had to also be filed with the National Council or NEPEC as well, since they dealt with wider areas, or commonly Seattle and Mt. St. Helens.
This chapter concludes with a discussion of how I had also occasionally issued an “All Clear” at times when there was NO earthquake coming or potential for earthquakes. It explains that I felt I should quit that practice because there is still always at least a small chance of an earthquake striking.
This chapter closes by explaining how I really needed a storm with a big name that is followed by an earthquake with an equally big name and discusses a few that I’ve had right so far, and that none of them have had too big of names. Then, it introduces the next chapter: Hurricane Katrina/Islamabad Earthquake.
CHAPTER 8--Hurricane Katrina/Islamabad Earthquake--Hurricane Katrina had all the ingredients of a major storm that was sure to cause a major earthquake somewhere. This chapter tells how I tracked this earthquake up and over the Arctic and at the same time a Super Typhoon also made landfall at China.
These two big storms both sent a line of earthquake energy to one same spot on the map where they more or less just crossed. That place was Islamabad, Pakistan where in the coming days they had a 7.6 Richters Magnitude shaker that killed 90,000 people.
I explain that I never actually sent out an “EQ Alert: Islamabad” because I don’t know anybody over there, and that Pakistan has no Earthquake Evaluation Council to send an Official Prediction to. Also that Musharaff was president at the time and that country was run by their military.

MY EARTHQUAKE MEMOIRS-Outline For My Book!!!
THERE ISN'T MUCH GOING ON WITH EARTHQUAKES THIS WEEK, SO HERE IS THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS OF THE OUTLINE FOR MY NEW BOOK "MY EARTHQUAKE MEMOIRS":
MY EARTHQUAKE MEMOIRS--OUTLINE
CHAPTER ONE--It All Started The Day of The Northridge Earthquake--I was writing scripts for movies and had done quite a bit of work as a background actor in Chicago on the day of the Northridge Earthquake. In an effort to do something to help all my California friends, I began to research what caused earthquakes and came up with some interesting discoveries. Severe Winter conditions preceded Northridge, but a lot of the other major earthquakes throughout history had been preceded by the landfall of hurricanes and typhoons.
In this chapter I also discuss the fact that the World Series Quake of 1989 was preceded 18 days by the landfall of Hurricane Hugo at Charleston and that the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens was preceded by a tornado that leveled half of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Throughout this new volume I give that type of information out in the form of a story rather than in my previous earthquake book titled, “How To Predict Earthquakes,” where I gave all the details out in “How To” format.
CHAPTER TWO--Starting To Know My Earthquakes--Covers my first real written out and sent to somebody EQ Alerts that immediately followed the Northridge earthquake. These were Hurricane Alberto/Algiers Earthquake and Hurricane John at Johnston Atoll/Northern California shaker of September 1, 1994. I had been writing to people prior to that and I tell about knowing then that somebody somewhere received my alert in the days prior to that 7.1 Richters Magnitude earthquake and I discuss whether they would post that to their bulletin board.
I end this chapter with the story about a prediction I made at a class I was taking in Milwaukee. Told the other guys in this class there would be a major earthquake in Central America that weekend and there was. 20,000 were killed in that earthquake making this the first very public prediction that hit.
CHAPTER THREE--Earthquake Stories From Hollywood--While I was working in Hollywood I was actually IN the Hector Mines Earthquake. A 7.1 Richters shaker that shook at the desert outside of Barstow. I had been telling my neighbors in my apartment just off Hollywood Boulevard to be expecting a major earthquake in the coming days.
This was the first major earthquake I had ever been in. That was October 16, 1999 and I drove up there and took a lot pictures that day, too.
There wasn’t too much more said about that prediction that I like to call my Hollywood Apartment Prediction, even though I basically told and wrote to just about everybody prior to that one. This was also where I came up with the name Earthquake Alert, or EQ Alert, and named myself The EQ Alert Guy.
CHAPTER FOUR--My Los Angeles Bottling Plant Prediction--My greatest prediction of all time came one day in Los Angeles while I was on a job at a bottling plant. We were taking our break out at our picnic table in the shadow of Mt. Baldy when I told the guys to expect a 5 Magnitude earthquake that weekend for that immediate area. To make it formal I said late Sunday night or early Monday morning. When I woke up on Monday morning, the weatherman was saying there had been a 5.3 Richters earthquake near San Bernardino and of course we discussed all that at first break on Monday morning.
I was five miles off from the exact epicenter, the time was like 20 minutes off, and the magnitude was within one or two tenths of a Richter and as I explain in the story I might have said 5.3 Richters, too. One of the guys at the picnic table had his house almost at the exact epicenter.
This chapter goes on to next tell about one of the guys from that job, who was at that picnic table, next showing up at one of my L.A. classes and introducing me as the guy who knows when the next earthquake is going to be. Then, he asked when the next one would be. Well, it just happened so I was watching for one to strike Central America that day and so I announced it. When these guys returned to that class on Monday there had been a major earthquake that 20,000 people died in. This chapter gives all the details of how that turned out.

More New Earthquakes!!! More Iceland Volcano!!! Update Coming Soon!!!
I just spotted an earthquake in South Carolina and want to say that there have been more tornadoes in the last 48 hours and there will be more new earthquakes now in the near future. I don't expect these to add major earthquakes to the already waiting major Casablanca/New Zealand alert, but it will certainly keep the Iceland Volcano shaking for quite some additional time, like maybe a couple more weeks, yet. Update coming, but keep watching those areas previously mentioned.

Activity @ Iceland Volcano! Alert Casablanca, Marrakech, New Zealand!!!
Looks like they've had a little activity at the Iceland Volcano. So this new earthquake will soon be arriving at the Canary Islands, and the Morrocco towns of Agadir, Marrakech, and Casablanca which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755. The Azores and Lisbon Spain are sort of in between but probably won't get the big one. I also noticed just now that New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands are in line for this earthquake, too, that could be 7.9 Richters out in the Oceania Islands region, 7.6 rest of towns.
New book, "My Earthquake Memoirs" now finished!!! I will post text copies of it in PDF very soon!!! Thank-You for reading!!! EQ Guy
