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.
A 3.2 shook the East Bay...yesterday, Sept. 13. Nearly 300 people reported feeling the Earth move to the USGS.
