Predictors of Great Chile Quake/Tsunami(s)

By Cal Orey, Author-Intutive
Last night I was talking with Visionary Clarisa Bernhardt who has an awesome track record, from working with the U.S.G.S. to FBI. She also predicts quakes. In my book The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes, on page 252, she predicted the following:
"South America--While I don't see the Pacific Northwest getting hit with a tsunami, I think it's going to be more toward South America. A great quake in Chile 1960--yes, that could happen again anywhere from 2006 to 2020."
And so here we wait as we did back in 1960, when Chile was hit by a 9.5 and Hawaii was affected by a tsunami. Yes, history can and does repeat itself. And that's not all.
I, an intuitive, and many others on my web site www.earthquakeepi-center.com have been having recent water/tsunami dreams reported on the Dreams and Visions Forum. This is not a coincidence. The same repetition of sensitives reporting water dreams occurred before the 2004, December 26, Indian Ocean Quake-Tsunami.
Also, Geologist Jim Berkland noted to me on the phone two days ago, that his primary seismic window with its Full Moon was on its way, February 28--and he predicted in his newsletter that a 7.0 could hit the Pacific Ring of Fire in the 8-day window. And so it (almost) did. He gave himself a 90% accurate rating for his prediction since the great quake (8.0+) hit one day before.
What's more, on Coast to Coast, January 1, Special Predictions, I did predict a 7.0 would hit Japan this year and may spawn a tsunami (there was a warning)--and now another warning for the big waves due to the great Chile earthquake. And I believe, as some others do, that this particular quake could have triggered the 8.8 earthquake that happened in the early hours this morning.
The bottom line: Teaming predictors, scientists, visionaries, and intuitives is a great way to forecast a great quake and/or tsunami warnings. So, as I sit on the edge of my waterbed and watch LIVE CNN to see the first wave (perhaps of many) to hit the Big Island is an amazing experience. Welcome, to the technology of the 21st century and people who sensed a great quake was in the work[s].

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.

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.

SF Bay Area Temblor Rumbles East Bay On Cue

Author-Intuitive Forecasted SF Bay Area (East Bay) Would Shake Rattle, and Roll

On the site www.earthquakeepi-center.com this post is on the Predictions Forum. Yesterday, I was speaking with geologist Jim Berkland and I told him my dog Simon was acting extremely clingy (getting on top of me while sitting in a chair; being a "Velcro Canine") --a sign to me for the SF Bay Area or Tahoe to quake. (Also, intense earthquake headache; humidifier has been on for past 3 days.)

Before midnight a friend in Oakland called me...I said, "A quake?" I was waiting for this which follows the felt 3.2 two days prior in El Cerrito. Both quakes are near Oakland and felt throughout the East Bay as predicted. And more may be on its way for this month of June.

Re: SF Bay -Area NOW-June 30, 4.0-5.0+

... What's bugging me now is that both dogs have been roughhousing past few days--a lot. And Simon, 6 yr. old keeps trying to get up in my lap. Very odd. Again, this behavior is often linked to quakes that happen in Tahoe/Sierra region or SF Bay area.
