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
