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.
