More Foreshocks-Indio/Aust. Tectonic Plate! NOW California, too!!!

Phone chimed very early this morning with 3.8 Olancha, California and upon checking this is that very shaky Lone Pine, Coso Junction, California region from the last big California Earthquake which we today know as Offshore San Diego 6.3 Richters. While I want everybody to know there IS a brand new Major California Earthquake coming, I have been hoping Sumatra, Indonesia would come before it! Yesterday Afghanistan had a 5.8 up around the top of the Himalayan Arc and let's keep watching for this to move farther and farther West into Greece, Italy, and beyond! It also occurred to me that if it does keep moving further west. . . Indonesia might become susceptible to some of that movement and those islands start to migrate possibly causing something big there, too! While I had intended Sumatra 2012 to strike and then get on with the upcoming Major California Earthquake, the California Foreshocks are starting to look like it is time for California to start preparing!!! I will now give the magnitude for the late December/January 2013 California Earthquake at 6.0 to 7.5 Richters and reserve the right to update the 7.5 possibly to 7.1 later. The actual end date for the new California Earthquake energy will be something like January 20th and might pass on by the date of the Northridge Earthquake January 17, Eureka 2010 on January 9, and the Haiti Earthquake January 12. . . but those dates are kind of hard to forget while we approach them and possibly pass them by waiting for the next one to strike you know! Finally, I had to dig but FOUND a great Alaska EQ Alert I had sent out back in 2002 as a result of the landfall of Hurricane Lili at Cuba on October 1, 2002 as a CAT-3 with 112 mph winds leaving 48,000 homes damaged and 16,000 that lost roofs!!! Days later on October 23, 2002 a 6.7 and November 3, 2002 a 7.9 Richters earthquake struck the Denali Fault and this was the one I mostly remember for that big truck that fell into the gulch left in the middle of that highway right down the bright yellow centerline! Truck shook the road enough or was just there at the right moment! Yes, some of my long time followers probably remember that once very famous EQ Alert, too! Also Hurricane Lilys landfall later at Louisiana preceded a Great Italy Earthquake, too! Thank-You Again for reading and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

Letter To CEPEC/NEPEC on Possible Sumatra 2012 Earthquake

December 27, 2012

To: Name Edited, USGS/NEPEC, National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, and Name Edited, USGS/CEPEC, California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council

From: EQ Guy (Name Edited)

Hello,
Hope you had a good Christmas Name Edited, and Name Edited! Today I reasoned that it was necessary to send along this note to the Councils mostly due to the fact that I have tracked a fairly large amount of earthquake energy to the Sumatra, Indonesia region. While none of these areas fall under the jurisdiction of either the California, or National Councils it has the potential to be a large enough earthquake that I thought a short letter to you both containing the information that I presently have collected and present it for the record.
As you may know I routinely track what I like to call "Earthquake Energy" or "Potential Earthquake Energy" after the landfall of huge windstorms, in this case we are talking about the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines on December 3, 2012. I checked the direction this big windstorm was heading as it crossed the Southern Philippines and found this line to travel to the tectonic plate boundary around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. . . only more recently searching the region with a magnifying glass to find some town names and the very first town name I discovered as a result of that search was Banda Aceh! As I continued looking I found Phuket Island. I want to now add that I am presently looking at Tropical Depression Wukong which is crossing along that exact route and will strike near Sumatra in the coming hours. While the actual existence of this other big windstorm doesn't really say anything on the surface, I want to state here that there has been ONE such occasion on my watch where I have tracked earthquake energy along a line and while doing so spotted a similar entity which actually whether or not connected, WAS the earthquake when the entity arrived at the tectonic plate boundary! This amounts to nothing more than an observation and I know that when you add a few fireballs that have also mysteriously crossed skies along these routes, ALSO do not in and of themselves have any meaning. So, we will watch if Wukong has any effect on the seismic situation at around Sumatra at the time it makes contact there like today or tomorrow. In terms of electrical energy which the earth having North and South Poles and a field of some sort HAS. . . I suppose you won't mind if I make a wild guess that Wukong contains a field of energy from the Pacific and raises havoc when it contacts the Indian Ocean similar to an arc across phases in the electrical sense. Again that is reaching, I know! There IS a theory that energy arcs from the atmosphere to the athenosphere or the ground whichever, but it is beyond what I know on that subject.
The Full Moon might even be coming around the other side of the world as I am writing and while I have recently discovered that small bump in earthquake activity with the full and new moons, I need to also add today that the recent New Moon turned out to be the exact night of the recent Off Shore San Diego 6.3 Richters Earthquake with a grand total of 860 "Felt Reports" from San Diego alone! There was also last years Coos Bay Earthquake that fell on the exact night of the October 2011 full moon with practically nothing to compare to that one since! In that research I also seem to have discovered that 7 and 8 days before and after full and new moons has next to NO earthquakes but have no explanation for why. So while there is a lot of earthquake energy currently heading for Sumatra, Indonesia the full moon may play a part in this upcoming earthquake in just the coming hours and days, but I do not truly believe the full moon to guarantee the release of major earthquake energies, rather I will just note that as this earthquake gets here, I have discovered that it will bump up the chance of this earthquake striking on the date of the full moon just a notch.
There have also been some signs of the movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate which could mean that rather than shaking as the earthquake energy hits Sumatra. . . this earthquake energy could push on this tectonic plate and has already caused a fairly large series of 5 Magnitude earthquakes around the perimeter at Pakistan, Black Sea, Myanmar, and several around Indonesia as well as at least one so far near Macquarie Island. So, therefore knowing this will be a major earthquake of 7.7 to 9.0 Richters for Sumatra, I want to also say that Greece, Italy, or Nepal could get the brunt of this tectonic plate moving in their direction as well as I suppose places like Spain, Portugal, and France along with whomever else is situated over that way where I am not familiar with the seismology. Range up that way might be 6.7 to 8.1 Richters. Finally, when one of these spots along the tectonic plate boundaries DOES shake, it will probably also mean this tectonic plate will then rattle around considerably shaking places like New Zealand and possibly even kicking the Pacific Plate, Japan, or Alaska. While this would mean our West Coast, I can't imagine there being much earthquake energy left over by time it would shake the Pacific Plate. Just that this line did also cross through Lima, Peru and there could yet be a major earthquake at or very near that South American Coast in the coming days, or coinciding with the full moon.

In the matter of the State of California, I must add that yesterday there was about a 3.8 Richters earthquake near Parkfield, California and so I checked past Parkfield Earthquakes and found at least two that had struck in February and March. Those were 1881, 1901, and 1922, and upon a quick check suspecting severe winter conditions might have preceded these, I found the January 27-28, 1922 Severe Washington, DC Blizzard that collapsed the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater killing 98 people when that region received between 2 and 3 feet of snow with drifts reported at 16 feet according to Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_Storm The snowfall amounts now being reported around the eastern half of the United States and apparently including parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, seem to be getting around a foot of snow with some getting even more up towards Pennsylvania. I discovered severe winter conditions to have preceded the Northridge Earthquake and a further search revealed many of what I call snowfall resultants which include Great Alaska, and New Madrid Earthquakes while also having a couple of my own very accurate "Official Predictions" on that subject with one preceding the Eureka 2010 Earthquake and days later the Haiti Earthquake. You can still view that Official Prediction at: http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2009/12/official-prediction-california-just.html The final date I gave in that banner headline was January 12, 2010 and that Eureka Earthquake struck on January 9, 2010 while in the final hours of that Official Prediction on January 12, 2010 at 4 in the afternoon the Haiti Earthquake struck. BOTH are now what I call the result of "Weight on the Tectonic Plate" and possibly similar to the conditions we might now be facing all across the U.S. and possibly another Northridge, Paso Robles, or Parkfield Earthquake in the coming days, and weeks. December 2003 was ALSO a fairly severe winter and in the course of that month I sent via E-Mail my very first EQ Alert saying a major earthquake could strike California in the coming days. . . and the Paso Robles Earthquake struck on December 23, 2003. I will probably submit a more formal submission on this subject at a later date, since today I am most concerned with the Banda Aceh situation.
In summation, there probably IS a large amount of earthquake energy roaming the Indian Ocean right at this moment which seems to be producing a number of 5 Magnitude earthquakes and there WILL BE a major earthquake following all the earthquake energy generated by the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines. I just thought I should write you both today since you would want to know about this upcoming major earthquake!
Thank-You Again for accepting my earthquake writing and here's wishing you a great holidays season!!!!!

Sincerely,
Les Brown

We Have Movement of Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate!!! Major Shaker Any Moment!!!

Hope everybody is having a Great Christmas Day! But I just happened to notice we have been getting more and more shakers that all seem to be around 5 Richters all around the top of the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate and exactly as I have been watching for including a Macquarie Island earthquake that indicates it is moving! Just in the recent hours there have been two Black Sea Earthquakes, Xinjiang, Pakistan, and several Sumatra, and Indonesia "Foreshocks"! These could be Sumatra ready for a major shaker. . . and they could be pushing this entire tectonic plate over into Greece, Italy, and etc. One of these fine places around this tectonic plate will be getting some of this major earthquake energy possibly at any moment and remember the range I gave as 7.7 to 9.0 Richters! Then New Zealand is out there, yet, too at the bottom of the plate. It is looking like a lot of snow is possible between Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo meaning the next Northridge/Paso Robles Earthquake might be in our future so be watching immediately for some foreshocks around California, too! Enjoy the rest of your Christmas, Everybody!!! EQ Guy

Happy Holidays! It's Earthquake Season!!!

Happy Holidays Everybody! Thought I should write due to Holidays I might miss tomorrow and need to update today with a lot of stuff happening! When I wrote yesterday about Paso Robles Earthquake being December 23, 2003. . . I did NOT even notice it actually WAS December 23!!! So here it is a Minor Earthquake Season sort of thing happening! Yes, not only was the Paso Robles, California Earthquake yesterday, but the Bam, Iran Earthquake was on the 24th or today also 2003 and the anniversary of the Great Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami of 2004 will be tomorrow! Finally, it was mentioned on the weather somewhere that it is the worst winter conditions since 2009. . . which just so happened to be the exact winter conditions that preceded the Haiti Earthquake! Those winter conditions back in December of 2009 led to me writing and filing this Official Prediction:
http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2009/12/official-prediction-california-just.html . . . . . AND the Eureka 2010 Earthquake struck on January 9, 2010 and you will notice the date I give for all this to happen by was January 12, 2010 the date when at 4 in the afternoon the Haiti Earthquake struck! I submit for your approval that all of this earthquake energy was the movement of the North American Tectonic Plate and that we might be now facing those same conditions in the coming days, but let's first wait and see what this next winter storm is going to do! It is Earthquake Season! Happy Holidays!!! EQ Guy

New Earthquake Heading for California? 3.8 Hits Lake Nacimiento!

Looks like the NEXT Major Earthquake just could be heading for California again as of this morning there was a 3.8 Richters earthquake near Lake Nacimiento very near the Epicenter of the 2003 Paso Robles Earthquake which also just so happened to have occurred following severe winter conditions. It's possible, although not all over yet, that the newest severe winter conditions might just be taking place all over America right this moment. I will have to continue watching the snowfall amounts and of course have updates along the way and possibly file a little something in the format of a "prediction" later on. For now I just want to say that Northridge was preceded by 2 feet of snow all across our country, sub-zero temperatures, and 55 mph winds. Upon a check of other what I sometimes like to call "January Earthquakes" I found the Great Alaska earthquake at which time the front page of my local paper was the huge blizzard, and more of these I will write about in the coming days. This ultimately led to the severe winter weather of December 2003 when I wrote my very first Severe Winter Conditions EQ Alert for California and the now great Paso Robles Earthquake struck California on December 23, 2003!!! Sumatra, Indonesia is also coming at around 8.5 Richters and possibly New Zealand, too, 7? EQ Guy

End Of The World. . . For Somebody??? All of Us? Final EQ Blog?

Also the shortest day of the year today, and first day of spring, and supposedly although I can't say I've heard the scientific explanation for the legend that you can balance an egg on end today!!! Yes, it is December 21, 2012!!! The long-awaited date that according to me, there just might be an enormous earthquake OR volcanic eruption such as the one that brought about a year or several years with no summer! There are some scientific circles that have also stated that there seems to be such a thing as a volcano that can wipe out all traces of life all across the Planet Earth, too! Called a "Cataclysm" or Earth Wide Cataclysm due to the fact that in past ones there have only been one or two species that made it across the end of the world to exist today! One was a frog, one a leopard, and like 90% of the species in the oceans have crossed the Cataclysm in the past and most likely a few of them will cross the next one. . . whether it will be yet today is as of yet unknown as of 10:35am CST. It also seems like the mass we know as The Milky Way was once a solid planet that once orbited out one or two distant planets from the Earth and just my opinion that it might have ALSO met its proverbial December 21, 2012 and suffered a huge enough earthquake that it broke all apart and is now an enormous field of meteorites, or meteors as my spell check just reminded me! Is this what is going to happen to us yet today??? So, all that aside, we will watch very closely all day today for that major earthquake that IS HEADED for Sumatra, Indonesia, Banda Aceh, and Phuket and continue to watch a couple additional days if it hasn't ended or occurred rather by the end of today! Add New Zealand and Nepal and perhaps Lake Tanganyika just incase the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate starts moving, too! And if the world does not end today. . . then I will have an update in the coming days! Thank-You for reading and I have enjoyed sharing my experiences here on Planet Earth with you all!!! Sincerely, EQ Guy

Sumatra 2012 Due Any Minute!!! 7.7 to 9.0 Richters!!!

The landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha was December 2, 2012 and it will be Day 17 today and Day 18 tomorrow or Wednesday and Thursday this week. The Great Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami struck on Day 23 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Nanmadol and Day 23 will fall on Dec. 25. We should watch for that all important date of December 21, 2012 for perhaps a HUGE VOLCANO letting loose and bringing about the potential end of the world. . . but it seems a little more likely it will just be the biggest major earthquake of recent times with the Great Sumatra Earthquake of 2004 now being almost 10 years ago! Note that there are some notably HUGE volcanoes over around Sumatra such as Mount Krakatou which I think has proven it can do it. A big enough volcano can let so much gas, lava, and ash into the air that the sky darkens and possibly for a long, long time! But let's just watch that area for a big earthquake, and the immediate vicinity such as maybe Japan, too! This Major Earthquake is only hours from striking!!! EQ Guy

ALL CLEAR LOMPOC, CALIFORNIA!!!??? NOW KEEP WATCHING BANDA ACEH!!!

I am writing today to say it is probably the conclusion of my Official Prediction for Lompoc, California. Looks like we have had quite a lot of Major Earthquake energy out California way including one that actually struck Lompoc! On the night of the New Moon at 2 O’Clock the following morning there was a now very famous 6.3 Richters Earthquake that struck at Offshore San Diego and this will now mark Day 44 after the landfall of Hurricane Sandy at New Jersey. After watching on the date of the Hector Mines Earthquake which came on December 12, 2012 at 1:46am or around Day 43. I’m not worried about now extending my usual number of days one day since Hurricane Bret struck at Texas/Mexico and Hurricane Sandys earthquake energy crossed the entire country. I had been 3 for 3 considering those 3 previous huge windstorms that ALL preceded Major California Earthquakes and now 4!!! Now including Hurricane Sandy-Offshore San Diego Earthquake of December 14, 2012 at around 2am with 860 “Felt Reports” coming from just San Diego alone!!! Along with an enormous number of reports coming from basically EVERYWHERE else in mostly the Southern California region. That NEW MOON was on Thursday, December 13, 2012 with several mentions up to that date, AND with the Offshore San Diego Earthquake striking at around 2am the next morning which is still pretty much the night of the New Moon, right? Therefore, I want to conclude here that California should probably be relieved of pretty much ALL of their major earthquake energy until further notice! Of course there is always the chance something might strike and the earthquake energy from Tropical Cyclone Evan at Samoa, and Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines is still out there but not heading for California, there will still possibly be the ever so slight chance of something on our West Coast but I do not believe we could get those earthquakes per se. Finally, I see just today Japan is starting to get some 5 Richters earthquakes but while the current new EQ Alert is for Sumatra, the 2011 alert for Sumatra also included Japan and Japan became the epicenter. I do not believe this earthquake energy will be moving into Japan, but rather it looks like Japan might be shaking as a result of all that huge earthquake energy moving in the direction of Sumatra, and Indonesia. Just keep in mind that I am NOT a seismologist and it will ALWAYS be possible Japan could suffer a major aftershock of that huge Honshu 2011 Earthquake. EQ Guy

Epicenter of 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami? 7.7 to 9.0 Richters?

As the upcoming Sumatra Earthquake of 2012 approaches I searched very closely over this weekend to see the exact names of towns and islands just to the north of the Island of Sumatra and found the town of Banda Aceh to be situated at the very northern tip of that island that is positioned almost exactly at the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and Indio Tectonic Plates and possibly a tiny microplate or two out in that islands region, too. Therefore it sort of looks like while this new major earthquake energy is passing directly through that plate boundary, there could be any number of different fault lines that might be affected by this 7.7 to 9.0 Richters of earthquake energy. Probably the results being pretty much the same no matter which fault line it crosses, though! I just finished viewing the weather satellite of Tropical Cyclone Evan crossing what appeared to be Fiji and turning south so there could now be any number of smaller shakers out in the Pacific Islands region but those should only be so large with 7 being big. Last week Evan made landfall at Samoa and that earthquake energy should strike around Mexico City soon at around 6.5 to 6.9 and I want to continue watching California through Friday although there is presently not much shaking there and hopefully that earthquake has now all passed! EQ Guy

Next Major Earthquake: Band Aceh, Phuket, Great Nicobar Island at any moment!?

Just checked the globe for the exact names of the towns that might be affected by the next upcoming major earthquake and with the magnifying glass on the globe and maps found Banda Aceh!!! Then just across the bay on the shores of Malaysia there I found the name of Phuket! Just to the north of Banda Aceh and the point where the earthquake energy will cross onto the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate I located the Great Nicobar Island and Sukakarya with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands just to the north. Off towards Lima I noticed Palau and Kiribati Islands and I suppose Hawaii just north and New Zealand just south. We may want to watch Los Angeles, California, and Frisco through that December 21, 2012 date, but all of these towns and islands around that upcoming Sumatra, Indonesia region where the new earthquake energy is heading will be very important into our future, too!!! This is a huge earthquake heading for that region and it seems fairly certain the major earthquake will strike there as opposed to pushing on that tectonic plate and causing major seismic activity up around the Himilayan Arc or Italy, Greece, and etc. That earthquake will be in the 7.7 to 9.0 Range and that magnitude range seems to be staying the same! Keep Watching California even though they have now had plenty of earthquakes. . . and there is a big one that is going to strike around Banda Aceh, and Phuket very soon! Thank-You Again for reading!!! Very Sorry For My Friends In Connecticut, God Bless Them!!! EQ Guy

6.3 Richters Earthquake Strikes 170 Miles WSW Offshore From San Diego

Someday I hope everybody will know the New Moon DOES seem to have just a slightly higher chance of producing a Major Earthquake since this one that rang my phone at around 4 am Central Time was a 6.3 with felt reports coming from as far away as Vegas!!! One of these fine days I'm thinking the general public should be made aware that we pretty much knew there was an earthquake coming at right about that time anyways, and I want to share the information. . . in the future! Could have been much worse and this event might not be over since aftershocks could strike anywhere and be even somewhat bigger yet! 678 Folks reported from San Diego, 93 from Los Angeles, 54 from Huntington Beach, 4 each from Beverly Hills and Malibu, 4 from Santa Barbara and 1 each from Lompoc and Vegas! There could be more earthquakes coming so keep watching out! Tropical Cyclone Evan made landfall at Samoa like yesterday with 100 mph winds with the energy from that on a line for Mexico but it SEEMS a bit too early for that yet? There will be more from that one later anyways and we will continue to watch Sumatra and Lima for a really big shaker still to come with that December 21, 2012 also in our future and getting closer!!! EQ Guy

NEW MOON!!! California 7.1, or Japan/Sumatra 7.7???

Just saying that since Japan seems to be the place where all of the recent earthquake energy IS shaking, I suppose the NEW MOON could now bring on the next really big one. There was just a 3.4 at Northern California and there have been one or two other 3 Richters range shakers in the recent days including one or two 4's. Traditionally I haven't used these "Foreshocks" to predict, but mostly due to the fact that they just so happen to coincide with a large source of potential earthquake energy possibly waiting to shake California. . . I'm saying keep watching! And that the New Moon that runs through the next 24 hours or so, something Major could shake!!! Los Angeles? Frisco? Lompoc? Hawaii? Japan? Lima? Sumatra? Let's just watch very close because it is almost a SURE THING that somebody will be shaking at any moment from the NEW MOON! It is only midnight my time, but the New Moon is already starting somewhere so start watching immediately!!! EQ Guy

12:12AM-PM on December 12, 2012!!! 12-12-12!!!!!

I doubt if that will have any effect on earthquakes, but thought I should point it out! Now December 21, 2012 for sure WILL. . . more about that as the date nears! Today I want to first note we will need to watch just a little while yet because there WAS a lot of earthquake energy at California and hopefully crossing California and not being the next big one. ESPECIALLY be watching immediately through New Moon Thursday December 13, 2012!!! Only very recently correlated the NEW MOON as being a slight bump in seismic activity compared to any other average day and especially 7 or 8 days before and after when there seems to be almost NO earthquake activity! Super Typhoon Nanmadol preceded Sumatra 2004 by 24 days but I tracked that earthquake energy past Norway Sea and Mid-Atlantic. . . Super Typhoon Bopha tracks DUE WEST and could strike at any moment, but Day 24 will be December 29 with the Full Moon being December 28, 2012 so we will be watching for a lot to happen at Sumatra, Indonesia and Lima, Peru between now and then. I will revise that 8.9/9.0 later but for now let's say 7.7 to 9.0 Richters and I want all my new followers that are still hanging around just in case something big strikes Los Angeles or California to know that keeping an eye out for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands should turn out to be a very valuable life experience as all my regular followers already know!!! While I can not say for sure this will result in a major tsunami episode, I can say for virtual certain it will probably become the earthquake event of the year!!! And that date December 21, 2012 is right up ahead!!! Thank-You All Again for reading!!! EQ Guy

Tonight's The Night!!! Hector Mines Earthquake Revisited???

Tonight's the exact number of days and hours the Great L.A. Hector Mines Earthquake of 7.1 Richters happened after the landfall of Hurricane Bret at Texas/Mexico back in August of 1999. On that occasion I was living on Franklin Avenue just off Hollywood Blvd. right in Beautiful Downtown Hollywood, California where I had been spending a lot of my time going around and telling all my neighbors and everybody else that there should be the next big California or Los Angeles Earthquake any day! A few of my lucky friends even got some of the very first "EQ Guy" snail mail letters saying just that! Complete with the EQ Guy Banner Headline especially made for just that purpose and with a US Postage stamp on the front of the envelope just like the old days! Yes, I hope some day one of those will show up somewhere for the world to see, too! That exact moment will be very late tonight at 1:46am tomorrow morning but actually serves only to imitate the exact moment and will probably not simulate those actual results which in the case of Hector Mines included an Amtrak Train derailing up in the desert! At the time I actually drove up there and examined the location, taking pictures of a bridge that was separated from the abutment and on the other side off in the distance the derailed Amtrak Train still parked. It appeared to me upon examination that the train struck a loose krunk in the tectonic scheme and caused the ground to loosen up or possibly drop, causing a chain reaction of other "Micro Plates" up in that region and eventually moving one of the small mountains just a few thousandths of an inch and ultimately causing the Pacific to push against it and shaking all of the ocean water which sort of describes the movement that awoke me up in my Hollywood Apartment early that morning along with, of course, Lori Wexler running out of the apartment next door to me screaming! Just seen the NEW MOON will be this Thursday, December 13, 2012 and there could be something there, although by then I am not sure if there will be any more California earthquake energy since it looks like it is presently subsiding, but I will have an update prior to that evening. Finally, remember Super Typhoon Bopha/Philippines WILL be either a major earthquake at the Andaman/Nicobar Islands of Sumatra, Indonesia, or a huge shaker at or near Lima, Peru in the coming days and week or so with only a tiny chance our West Coast will get any of that. Thinking the similarity with Super Typhoon Nanmadol which preceded the Great Sumatra Earthquake of 2004 might be an excessive example. . . I will still say as big as 9 Richters, but add that it might also be just a 7.7 up to a 9 saying Sumatra 2004 was a Lucky Strike! EQ Guy

Those 3 Richters California Earthquakes Appear To Have Stopped!!!

In the headline of the current Official Prediction I was very deliberate to insist on the name of the town of Lompoc, California because the line of earthquake energy ran directly through that town in early readings of my globe/straight line tool. The date I gave of November 26, 2012 probably reflected a nominal amount of days that such earthquake energy will usually shake the West Coast and the final night of that original Official Prediction or November 26 at 3 minutes, 55 seconds past midnight that town got a 3.0 Richters Earthquake 17 miles to the East-Southeast near the town of Solvang. You can see that USGS Report here:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci11209466#summary . . . I continued to watch that area closely for that much larger one that I had posted as 7.1 Richters although originally mentioning as big as 7.9 Richters, but later employing a comparison to the Loma Prieta/World Series Earthquake, I leaned towards the same magnitude as that one or 7.1 Richters thinking no reason to jack the number up too much beyond a similar size. On into early December the number of “Foreshocks” grew at an astounding rate and caught the attention of seismologists who were reportedly observing the Long Valley Caldera for potential activity up around the Mammoth Mountain region which was well within the range of area I originally warned about. As the foreshocks got bigger, I posted when they hit 3, and posted again when they hit 4, then that 5.8 struck near Anchorage, Alaska at which point we hung on every earthquake thinking it might be the next big California shaker. I had mentioned in one of the final paragraphs of my original Official Prediction that this earthquake energy could well go on past California and strike specifically Indonesia or Japan. Then on December 6, 2012 at 2:18am my time a 7.3 Richters earthquake struck at Japan. Now I must add that it appears that there have not been ANY significant earthquakes at California since the moment of that Japan Earthquake and the record seems to indicate that there have been NO more 3 Richters earthquakes at California at all. Nor 4 Richters, nor 5’s. A 6.3 Richters earthquake followed the Japan Earthquake at New Zealand on December 8 at 7am their time, December 7 at 10:19am my time. The earthquakes at California continued on for a day or so but have now noticeably dropped considerably. While Japan has had it’s aftershocks and they more or less still continue as I write, it appears it is possible this is the end of all of that potential earthquake activity for California. In a situation such as this I usually suggest we just simply keep watching for something just in case it is still out there and could strike on one of those recent schedules that I wrote out. Had the New Zealand earthquake struck BEFORE the Japan earthquake it might have caught my attention and I might have known immediately that it was the movement of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate. . . but it moved AFTER the Japan earthquake and thus one has to figure out that it must have been the same movement, just that New Zealand shook AFTER Japan. In the 2011 series the earthquake at Christchurch preceded the Japan Earthquake albeit the same type of tectonic plate movement in every other way. Finally, there is one more big earthquake in the line-up and that would be the next major Sumatra Earthquake with a possible big tsunami and all that which could strike this week or in the range of this week or next as big as 8.9 Richters but let’s give the range of 8.1 to 8.9 since we are talking about the energy from Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines on December 4, 2012. This line also crossed Lima, Peru where it would be a HUGE Earthquake if and when the energy reaches South America also this week or next, but both could be extended out 30 days or so if needed. I had to decide if Japan was the energy from Super Typhoon Bopha, or if it was the California earthquake and as soon as I figured in the New Zealand Earthquake it became very clear that the California Earthquake may now be past and I apologize to the California and National Earthquake Prediction folks for taking up all their time and hope they all understand that there WAS a real earthquake coming and will continue to accept my reports in the future. Now watch the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of Sumatra, Indonesia and let’s keep watching California a few more days just to be safe! Thank-You Again Everybody for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy

Final Continuation of Official Prediction For Lompoc, California at 7.1 Richters

This is the second update to my original Official Prediction for Lompoc, California before November 26, 2012 and I want to first note that Lompoc, California did in fact have an earthquake strike with the epicenter just 20 miles away and exactly 3 minutes, 55 seconds past the end of that date of November 26 at three minutes, 55 seconds past midnight on November 27, 2012. While the Update had already been filed due to the onset of the full moon, I wish to now give the final extension to this Official Prediction for a 7.1 Richters Earthquake to strike at Lompoc, California as I have stated. (In the original Official Prediction and the Update) The earthquake of 3 minutes past midnight on November 27 was just 3 Richters or so and of course we are watching for a huge earthquake here and should continue to watch for it.

They have been getting countless small earthquakes near Coso Junction, California which is situated almost on the exact line that leads from the landfall of Hurricane Sandy at New Jersey to Lompoc, California and I expect this earthquake energy to continue past Coso Junction and strike at or near the epicenter of that 3.0 Richters November 27 earthquake. Although keep in mind Coso Junction is probably also a potential epicenter for a 7.1, and New Zealand which is geographically next in line just got a 6.3 today and would be due for one in those same coming days. Finally this whole entire Official Prediction will come to an end by December 21, 2012 which will be Day 52 after the landfall of Hurricane Sandy at New Jersey and a sure thing this earthquake will strike by that very historical date. That is that I do not have any events that have gone beyond 51 or 52 days making it a sure thing this one will have struck by that date. I have to note that the recent landfall at the Philippines of Super Typhoon Bopha on December 5, 2012 at CAT 5 may leave a lot of earthquake energy out there but not due to directly affect our West Coast or California.

I realized this week that ALL of the landfalls on our East Coast and including at the Gulf of Mexico have led to major earthquakes on our West Coast, that is unless I only have the successful ones listed and have lost track of storms that lacked results. Those successful ones that I am accounting for herein are: Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne preceding the 2004 Parkfield Earthquake, Hurricane Bret near Brownsville,. TX on August 23, 1999 preceding the Hector Mines Earthquake of October 16, 1999, Hurricane Hugo preceding the Loma Prieta/World Series Quake, Unnamed Windstorm at Gulf preceding L.A. Bottled Water Plant Earthquake of April 2000, and may I add Great 1992 Tornado Outbreak preceding the June 28, 1992 Landers Earthquake. On that last one I just today located a search result of “Foreshocks of California Earthquakes” and came up with that Landers Earthquake of 1992 being notable for the foreshocks that occurred prior to the main shock. I want to add here without doing the additional research that could all those foreshocks have coincided with the individual events in that Great 1992 Tornado Outbreak?

The exact date of this upcoming earthquake could be December 12, 2012 at 1:46am due to the exact number of days and hours after the landfall of Hurricane Bret at South Padre Island, Texas when the Hector Mines Earthquake struck, or 43 Days, 7 Hours, and 46 Minutes. Of course I would insist on this Official Prediction being objective and must include that the same number of days and hours after the landfall of Hurricane Hugo that the Loma Prieta earthquake struck, or 25 Days, 17 hours, and 5 minutes, came out at November 24, 2012 at 11:05am and so you could say that this upcoming major earthquake could strike at any time between then and December 12, 2012 and again I must add that by December 21, 2012 this earthquake will have struck. Thank-You Again!

Japan 7.3 Richters! Keep Watching California!!!

Yes, my phone chimed very early this morning with Japan 7.3 Richters and I turned the TV on to find a tsunami alert, but they were not extending it Pacific wide and there were no major aftershocks! I suppose we might keep an eye on Japan for an 8.3 to come along at some point but for now I want to answer folks who might be wanting to know if Japan was the California shaker we'd been watching for. No. Rather probably that edge of the Pacific Tectonic Plate rattling Post-Philippines Super Typhoon. Everything is still running on time as far as the upcoming California Earthquake and California does appear to continue to get the small shakers that just might indicate a 7.1 Richters Shaker in the very near future. See EQ Blog where I give December 12, 2012 at 1:46am for exact time. While some movement of the Pacific Tectonic Plate could cause this potential earthquake epicenter to venture north of Lompoc/S.B., I will maintain Lompoc, California as my epicenter. . . watch Frisco closely, though! And Keep Being Prepared! EQ Guy

Shakers Hit 4 Richters! 3 For 3 = Sure Thing???

Now looks like the earthquakes are reaching the 4 to 5 Richters range after a 4.4 Richters shaker struck at the Triple Plate Junction near the California/Oregon state line, so we should maybe be aware that they COULD be getting bigger in accordance with the methods China used in 1975 to accurately predict the Haicheng Earthquake and possibly save like 100,000 lives. Also figured out yesterday and already mentioned it in my late last night EQ Blog, that all three of the other known hurricanes/big windstorms DID go on to precede major earthquakes! ALL THREE! Three For Three!!! Those are Hurricane Hugo-Loma Prieta/World Series Quake, Hurricane Bret-Hector Mines Quake, and Unnamed Gulf Windstorm-L.A. Bottled Water Plant Earthquake of 2000! To my knowledge there are NO big windstorms that threatened our West Coast with an earthquake that DID NOT ultimately strike!!! My Guess for exact location is Lompoc/S.B., my guess for date, December 12, 2012 1:46am or this coming Wednesday so Be Prepared! Could strike at any moment!!! Could strike anywhere between Frisco, and L.A.!!! Thank-You for reading! EQ Guy

TPJ, Coso Junction, is Alaska Next Tonight? 6 Richters?

Got several fairly big shakers up at that Triple Plate Junction today! 2.7 Richters, 3.1 Richters, and 4.4 Richters and of course that adds up to 10 Richters. . . but just sayin' i want to now guess that after another good shaker also struck Coso Junction early this morning that it might be time for the next large Alaska shaker, say 6. While driving today it occurred to me that ALL of the last three big windstorms that I followed including Hurricane Hugo, Hurricane Bret, and Unnamed Gulf of Mexico Windstorm ALL led to Loma Prieta, Hector Mines and my L.A. Water Plant Earthquake of 2000!!! Therefore up to this point it looks on the surface like a 100% Chance of this one striking California. . . and probably Lompoc/S.B.!!! Unless there is a big historic windstorm hidden somewhere that did not cause a California Earthquake? The exception I suppose you could say was Hurricane Isabelle which led to about an 8 Richters Earthquake at China but was not headed for California, and one that made landfall not that long ago at Jacksonville, Florida but was also not headed for California. This one will most likely strike California and it should be in the coming hours and days. Thank-You All Again for reading!!! EQ Guy

Just Sent This Out Via Twitter:

The EQ Alert Guy ‏@EQAlert. . . . . Actually have not had ANY Earthquakes Chime phone in more than 24 Hours!? Could there be a 7 or 8 Richters Shaker coming in hours? EQ Guy. . . . . and you can follow my Twitter at www.twitter.com/eqalert

There's A Lot Shaking! Now The Triple Plate Junction, Too!!!

Readers in Northern California and Oregon might have noticed yesterday I mentioned that nothing had shaken yet at the Triple Plate Junction. . . and NOW there has been a small swarm up there around Eureka, and Coos Bay last night. For what it is worth the 5.8 Alaska Earthquake struck just one hour or so after Super Typhoon Bopha made landfall at the Philippines with wind gusts reported at 121 mph. The shaking at California seems like it is continuing and on appearance looks very much like all the shaking that preceded the Haicheng Earthquake which was very accurately predicted saving an estimated 100,000 lives!!! You can find the link to the PDF of that report in the references section of the Wikipedia Entry for that event at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haicheng_earthquake . . . SEE FOR YOURSELF and tell me if this is happening along the same avenue as the Haicheng Earthquake and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

5.8 Richters Near Anchorage!!! Getting Bigger!!!

I continue to study the Haicheng China Prediction and today found that many of the small earthquakes were 1 Richter. I probably don't need to tell most of you that if we count up all of the earthquakes around California and include those of the 1 Richter variety, then we are going to fairly easily compete with the anomalies that preceded Haicheng! So far the biggest, if you want to call it a foreshock, shook very near Anchorage late this afternoon their time at 5.8 Richters with reports of violent shaking and so far 665 "Felt Reports" from just that city alone! With even the tiny suburbs of Palmer and Wasilla each getting close to 100 reports of their own! Many of those towns also had reported Saturdays Alaska Earthquake of 5.3 Richters, too! So, I am no expert at telling you all how to apply the knowledge learned from the Haicheng, China Prediction to all of what is going on here right now. . . but I would say that everybody should start thinking seriously about being prepared for the big one! We could now be in the final hours before it strikes! Sorry, I do not have figures for such an instance as a lot of small foreshocks and nothing else, what I do know is there was also Super Typhoon Bophas landfall at Philippines this afternoon with 160 mph winds and that earthquake energy will add to all of this! The Shakers will probably keep getting larger until they hit 7 or 8 Richters and so especially watch Los Angeles and Lompoc/S.B. area! Be Watching and Be Prepared!!! The EQ Alert Guy

Here's My Review of Haicheng, China Prediction

I have now reviewed the material recently published regarding the successful prediction of the Haicheng China Earthquake of 1975 and it looks like it was a lot of small earthquakes similar to the small ones California has recently got. I was even surprised to note that there are only ONE or TWO earthquakes of 5 Richters in their "Precursor Anamoly." That being the case we should just about be there! One of those was even a 4.7 that got a lot of discussion at their "Earthquake Offices" where all this information was collected and all of those big decisions were made. Difference being Chairman Mao was in charge over in China! Here, CEPEC and NEPEC are in charge. I also just noticed a few of these places are getting a lot of rain and want to add that rain seems to loosen stuck fault lines and tends to make them shake. So Keep Watching for this 7.1 to 7.6 Richters Earthquake and Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Swarm Strikes at Coso Junction Early Today! Be Prepared!!!

There was somewhat of a swarm very early this morning at Coso Junction again! My phone chimed around 4am with ANOTHER 3.7 Richters, there was another 3.7 about the same time very early on Friday Morning up near Coso Juncition, too. When I checked I found over an hours worth of 1 and 2 Richters earthquakes that appears to have struck at the exact same coordinates! All totaled 14.8 Richters in 33 Minutes!!! Just re-checked that Alaska shaker from early Saturday and NOW there are at least one whole page of responses! 12 from Homer, 18 from Kodiak Island and 10 or more from Anchorage around a hundred miles north. Wouldn't have probably noticed a 5.3 up that way if not for the fact that we had been watching the movements along that series of fault lines and am not surprised it moved enough to collide up that way somehow! This is only my own hypothesis, but it could be earthquake energy pushing against the Pacific Plate and forcing something to move north. . . also has occured to me that there seems to have not been any movement at the Triple Plate Junction in between there which means Offshore Oregon like Coos Bay, Crescent City, or Eureka. Might be watching those towns for something to shake soon, too! Keep Watching Los Angeles and Santa Barbara because the big one could strike any minute, now!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

Earthquakes Hit 5.6 Richters at Alaska Last Night!!!!! Keep Watching!!!

Phone chimed late last night with a 5.6 Richters earthquake at Alaska, across the bay from Homer and while there appears this morning to be no responses, I am still now leaning towards calling this major shaker just slightly more than "Garden Variety." Yes, we know they routinely get earthquakes in that immediate vicinity and it is also ringed with several major volcanoes, but anytime I am tracking a large potential earthquake and this happens I generally count it towards the grand total. That said I now want to begin watching for those 5 Richters earthquakes as I just COINCIDENTALLY said in yesterdays EQ Blog! Therefore I went ahead and calculated the number of days between Hurricane Bret at Mexico/Texas on August 23, 1999 and the Hector Mines Earthquake very near Los Angeles on October 16, 1999 and came up with 43 Days, 7 Hours, and 46 Minutes. . . giving me the date of December 12, 2012 at 1:46am as the potential exact second that this next major California Earthquake might happen! Keep Watching because it could very easily strike at any moment before that date! That upcoming date will just serve especially to alert some of the folks around L.A. who were in that one as well, one that I just so happened to have alerted all my neighbors up in Hollywood of at the time! And practically everybody else in that city who would listen to me back in the days!!!!! Be Prepared and Keep Watching!!!!! EQ Guy
