Quake Sensitive Hits Offshore NorCal, Not Haiti

By Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive

Okay. Here's the deal. I sense oncoming earthquakes like countless two-leggers and four-leggers can and do. And yes, I did achieve a "bulls-eye" hit with the January 9 6.5 Offshore Northern California quake. (My prediction was made on Coast to Coast) (January 1); Oracle 20/20 magazine (January issue); my website www.calorey.com The Woman Who Predicts Earthquakes link (3 1/2 years ago); and on my site www.earthquakeepi-center.com -- with up-to-date oberservances, from the exodus of the sea lions to my own seismically sensitive critters. Yes, the strong quake that rocked Northern California did frazzle nerves. Yes, there was damage. Yes, there were some injuries. It was a perfect prediction and I'm proud of it.

I waited 3 1/2 years and held my ground. The wager between geologist Jim Berkland and me, the "intuitive" was for the next 6.0+ to strike Northern or Southern California. I chose the first and even pinpointed the epi--was 29 miles from it. So why in the world didn't I see the quake coming to Haiti?

As a native Californian, I have ties to quakes that rattle our Golden State. I know our fault zones. I know our quake history. I've been in past quakes including the Loma Prieta major shaker that rumbled through San Francisco Bay Area--and I sensed that earthquake and survived it. Why? There was observances--data provided to me.

But with the Haiti quake? I have no link to it. Sure, I've predicted quakes and have gotten accurate predictions for Alaska, Japan, and even Italy. But I use cues and for these countries I got the signs. Not so with Haiti.

Recently, I couldn't get a reading on my financial situation. I called umpteen professional psychic organizations. Guess what? The majority of answers I received were off the mark. They didn't know about or understand the publishing industry and so they didn't give me accurate answers to my god-like questions about my career. The same goes for the Haiti quake. I didn't know about the quake possibility in this region, nor did I have sufficient data. And this is why I couldn't forsee a deadly quake that rocked my world because the magnitude of devastation has left me with a loss of words and heartsick...Regarding today's 5.9 aftershock? This is a no-brainer. You don't need a crystal ball or quake sensitive to tell you a 7.0 will be without aftershocks.

One more thing: I did forecast flooding for Northern California(I even included the Sierra) this year, this winter. And checking NOAA, guess what? Flood advisories are in working order. How did I foresee this happening? Signs and experience.

Author-Intuitive Hits a Bullseye Quake Prediction

http://www.examiner.com/x-19684-Psychic-Examiner~y2010m1d11-Author-Cal-Orey-hits-a-big-bullseye-in-earthquake-prediction

It was the seismically sensitive Brittanys Simon and Seth, black cat Kerouac (all with an uncanny track record for sensing oncoming shakers), and last but not least the wayward sea lions that gave the intuitive an edge. But more than three years ago in a wager with geologist Jim Berkland--the man who predicted the World Series earthquake which had countless two-legger and four-legger red flags for the impending major shaker--she predicted this Northern California 6.0+ quake to happen (and held her ground) before Southern California. And she was right on the money (and very close to the epicenter). But she got final confirmation from the animals.

Author-Intuitive Predicted 6.0+ Offshore NorCal Quake

For 3 1/2 years, I have had this quake wager with geologist Jim Berkland--the man who predicted the World Series Quake...for the next 6.0 in CA. He chose SoCal, me NorCal--divided at 37 latitude. I even pinpointed Petrolia/Eureka in my forecast and held my ground through these years.
I just got off the phone with him and yes, I did succeed with my prediction. I have this documented on Coast to Coast on Jan. 1; available to see in the Recap; in a national magazine Jan. issue Oracle-20-20 (page 32); Capt. Jack's paranormal program on New Year's Eve; on my site www.earthquakeepi-center.com for the wager.
The SF wayward sea lions were a big tip off as well as my seismically sensitive critters the past few days--which is documented on EEC. But I knew all along NorCal, Offshore near Eureka/Petrolia was going to be where it would hit. See below links.

Author of The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes

I Predicted the Sierra Nevada Shaker

By Cal Orey, Author Intuitive

California, the Golden State has been in a seismic lull. My earthquake wager with geologist Jim Berkland has been ongoing for nearly three years. Still no 6.0 has hit NorCal (my choice of region) nor his SoCal. My three choices for potential epicenters have remained the same: Offshore NorCal (Petrolia or Eureka), SF Bay Area (East/South Bay), and Tahoe Vista...

Fast forward to December 8, 2009: I did forecast a 4.0-5.0 may hit the Sierra Nevada region by December 31. There was a swarm a few days after and then it paid us a visit again and ended up in a 3.8 (downgraded by the USGS) to a 3.7. The shaker was reported to the USGS by more than 140 people--felt in South Lake Tahoe to Reno. And, the epicenter was near my picks--Tahoe Vista (a place where a 4.8 hit several years ago and I felt it, my cat sensed it).

Take a look at the forecast: Sierra NV 4.0-5.0 NOW-Dec. 31, scroll down a couple of posts to original forecast and mention of seimsic lull--and snow which can trigger quakes as both Jim Berkland and I noted in a past Tahoe Daily Tribune article.

On my site (I am co-founder/moderator/author of The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes and columnist for Earth Changes, Oracle 20-20 magazine) www.earthquakeepi-center.com click on the forums (Predictions) the Sierra Nevada prediction is on top. I'm holding my ground that there still is a 60% probability for a 4-5.0 to hit by December 31.

My Anti-Prediction a HIT--No 8.0 "Huge" CA Quake

By Cal Orey, Author Intuitive

As co-founder of www.earthquakeepi-center.com I posted an anti-prediction towards a whimsical earthquake forecast made by an individual with no name. It was picked up by an online writer and included a picture of the golden state which showed a big, big circle near Lake Tahoe--my home. Of course, I took notice and made my own prediction which hit. We survived the great quake that didn't happen. Here, take a look at my post and anti-prediction:

NEW CA Prediction: Don't Hold Your Breath

Reply #2 on: November 05, 2009, 07:55:28 PM

Sure, a great quake is possible in the next 2 months. But CA? Come on, we all know who this "quake predictor" may be and the track record for CA going down? It's well, here's my response to the writer of the article... Also, I will give $100 to a charity if a "great" 8.0+ hits CA this month. In other words, I'm making an anti-prediction (again) it ain't going to happen. (Accuracy rate? 100%) But, a major quake such as a 7.0 to 7.2 (or so) Offshore NorCal (Petrolia/Eureka) is possible but not GREAT. One more thing: Just reread the "article." Yeah, an Indian Ocean great quake or China great quake is possible (and even AK, for sure) before 2010 but CA? Not yet.your article is absurd. Your quake predictor is nameless. No data. You are setting up gullible Californians for a let down and panic. People, like me, have to settle folks down because of such pieces. Shame on you.

The World Series Quake Predictor: 20 Years Later...Will It Happen Again?

By Cal Orey, Author Intuitive

Today I can still find myself pondering deadly fault lines and many of the earthquakes that I personally survived. Like me and other people, you’re likely to be both fascinated and freaked out by the power of earthquakes around the world, past and present. This fascination led me to Jim Berkland, who is the only American scientist to predict and name a major quake. Jim, a California geologist whose forecast of the famous October 17, 1989 “World Series Quake” that rumbled through the San Francisco Bay Area was right on the money. He’s also accurately predicted other significant quakes around the world. He is the subject of "The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes."...

This is the first book to document a geologist’s uncanny ability to foretell earthquakes around the world. Many of his theories--based on tides, moons, geyser activity, disoriented pets, lost cats and dogs, and magnetic field changes--are linked to the great Indian Ocean quake-tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004. Since scientists admit they aren’t able to reliably predict earthquakes, is it really so far-fetched to monitor lost cats? Berkland doesn’t think so. Berkland hopes that “someday earthquake warnings will be announced along with the weather” and could save countless people’s lives around the world.

This fascinating read includes stories of earthquake survivors, a wealth of details about seismic activity in earthquake prone regions–-West Coast, Midwest, the South, East Coast, China, Japan, and around the world, tales of earthquake cover-ups, and future weather and quake predictions. Written in a warm and witty style, and full of cutting-edge advice about do-it-yourself quake warnings and earthquake preparedness, The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes is a timely and important book.

NorCal 3.6 Rattles SF Bay Area as Forecasted

By Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive

Recently, on national radio shows I've been repeating the words that "California is overdue for a shaker." After all, it's been quiet as stress builds up. Sure, Offshore NorCal shook a 5.9 on November 28, 2008 (as I predicted for the year a 6.0 would hit). And on May 17 a 4.7 temblor hit near Long Beach, again as I forecasted on my site www.earthquakeepi-center.com -- and noted on Coast to Coast the next day.

Rewind to last month. In the September issue of Oracle 20-20 magazine, in my monthly Earth Changes column I wrote:

...I sense September may be more vulnerable in the Golden State. On August 3, a 6.9 quake jolted the Gulf of California and was widely felt in Southern California. This could be the wake up period of ending the buildup of stress along the San Andreas Fault and abnormally calm Pacific Northwest (San Francisco Bay Area and Offshore Northern California). It’s been too quiet, too long...

And a follow-up prediction by me recently was posted on www.earthquakeepi-center.com in the Earthquake Prediction forum followed this month that S.F. Bay Area will give us a 5.0+ quake by October 31--based on several things including history and the seismic lull. So is more to come for the SF Bay Area? I give it 70% odds "yes" and by the time October ends but probably sooner.
