California: Offshore NorCal, Mammoth, SoCA May Rumble

NorCal or SoCA May Rumble Before June

All is quiet in the Golden State. Too quiet. Still sensing Offshore NorCal (a few micros today); SF Bay Area (Morgan Hill teases with a micro; AWOL dogs are up in San Jose with a 50 mile radius); or Mammoth Lakes (a mini swarm continues in the Sierra Nevada) will rattle nerves with a shake or two.

Not to ignore the SoCA reports I've gotten in the past two days (both humans and pets are on edge and/or acting out near the Long Beach and Los Angeles area, including Northridge). Cats are affectionate and vocal. Dogs restless. Humans noting physical cues to rehashing memories of Northridge earthquake of 1994.

So, it wouldn't be shocking to see more movement in the San Fernando Valley region. Sticking with my prediction in the Earth Changes May article that Offshore NorCal or Mammoth may shake a 5.0. (Ditto with more coming, stronger shaking following the recent Greater Los Angeles but may be extended until June.)

One week left in May, one would think the Earth will move some where, some place, some time in California as the tides will be erratic in a few days and the New Moon rises. Still, if nothing happens June may be a repeat of June Jitters 2005--the ping pong quake effect in NorCal and SoCA.

Note: I noted the same feeling on May 10 (scroll down to archived post on this blog) regarding a seismic lull. One week later: SoCA rocked on cue.
