Anyone could predict that an earthquake will happen in an earthquake zone.
But can you do that and keep everyone afraid. That is what Fox does best.

It started with the Y2K hysteria and has been nonstop 24/7 since then. Bird flu! Swine flu! Global Warming! Solar flares! By the time Dec. 21, 2012
rolls around people will be going bonkers.

A new report released today in the Kremlin prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Institute of Physics of the Earth, in Moscow, is warning that the
America’s are in danger of suffering a mega-quake of catastrophic proportions during the next fortnight (14 days) with a specific emphasis being
placed on the United States, Mexico, Central America and South American west coast regions along with the New Madrid Fault Zone region.
This report further warns that catastrophic earthquakes in Asia and the sub-continent are, also, “more than likely to occur” with the 7.3 magnitude
quake in Japan today being “one of at least 4 of this intensity” to occur during this same time period.
Raising the concerns of a mega-quake occurring, this report says, are the increasing subtle electromagnetic signals that are being detected in the
Earth’s upper atmosphere over many regions of the World, with the most intense being over the US Western coastal and Midwest regions.
Important to note are that Russian and British scientists are at the forefront of predicting earthquakes based on these subtle electromagnetic signals
and have joined in an effort to put satellites in space to detect more of them.
More ominously in this report are Russian scientists confirming the independent analysis of New Zealand mathematician and long-range weather
forecaster, Ken Ring, who predicted the deadly Christchurch quake and this week issued another warning of a quake to hit on or about March 20th.
Ring explains his methodology for predicting earthquakes as follows:
“The planets very much affect the earth, indirectly, by having an effect on the Sun. Some planets are very large. If the Sun was a basketball the gas
giants Jupiter and Saturn would be the size of grapefruits, and the Earth would be, on that scale, the size of a peppercorn.
Jupiter and Saturn cause extra tides on the Sun when they get on either side of the Sun (as with Moon – Earth-Sun when the moon is full) and when
these gas giants get on the same side as the Sun, (as with Earth -Moon – Sun when the moon is new). These greater solar tides become sunspot activity
and solar flares and can be understood as akin to the increase in tides caused by the Moon when it too gets alongside Earth or opposite Earth.
At the moment we have Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the Sun and creating a tug of war with Earth in the middle. That started last September and
will continue until about May. In September the Earth was right in line with Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun too.
That’s why there were several 7+ earthquakes around, it wasn’t just us. For instance there was one in Pakistan on the same day as Christchurch. This
Jupiter/Saturn alignment continues until about May, and the Earth comes back into line as well in March. It is why there may be an extreme event,
perhaps a large earthquake, around 20 March, which is when the Moon may be again in a trigger position.”
According to this report, however, where Ring is correct in assessing blame for our Earth’s earthquakes on the Sun and Planets, his substituting of
Perigean Spring Tides (also known as King Tides) for the low pressure systems associated with them may be incorrect.
The mention in this report of massive low pressure systems being associated with catastrophic earthquakes is especially dire to the United States
Midwestern region, which even today is continuing to be pounded by horrific rainfall amounts, and most especially impacting the New Madrid Fault Zone
State of Arkansas which has suffered over 800 earthquakes in the past 6 months alone.
Equally in danger, this report continues, is the South American Nation of Bolivia which has, likewise, suffered catastrophic low pressure system
storms that in the past week have killed over 52 people.
Most ominous in this report, though, is its warning that the fault-riddled State of California may be about to suffer its most catastrophic earthquake
in decades as new reports for this region show the mass death of millions of fish [photo bottom left] is now occurring, and just like the mass
stranding of whales on New Zealand beaches days prior to the February 22nd destruction of Christchurch.
Making the situation for our Planet even grimmer are the reports that our Sun is continuing to spew forth massive solar flares, the latest warned to
hit our Earth today or tomorrow thus prompting the Hermanus Space Weather Warning Centre (SWWC) to issue a Solar Flare warning for the Southern
Hemisphere.
Interesting to note in all of these events is the United States Army announcing this week that it is holding a rare training event involving the US
Military, the CIA, Canadian officers, US Treasury and State departments, the US Agency for International Development, the Defense Threat Readiness
Agency and the International Red Cross between March 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and which should the worst happen they will certainly be
prepared for it.
As this report concludes, that as of yet, “no firmly reliable” method for predicting earthquakes has been scientifically recognized, it is well worth
noting the too many to be ignored anomalous coincidences leading up to catastrophic mega-quakes are breaking out all over the World and should only be
ignored at ones peril.
In other words, it is always best to be prepared should disaster strike, wherever the warning comes from.
This I found on another site...

Being from L.A. I've lived thru a bunch of shakers. The first sizable one that I remember was the Sylmar quake in the early 70's. Basically I just
shrugged them off as a product of a very unstable planet that we live in.
Recently though, due to the increase in significant seismic activity I have for the first time stocked up on non-perishable goods and water. I have
read that it would take about a week for national guard troops to arrive in California from other states to render aid. Or who knows, maybe the Prez
will just do a fly-by and wave out the window also.

Fox News = Oxymarooon
I suppose anyone with a triple digit IQ could consider that the entire Pacific Rim is somehow interconnected.
And, in fact, based upon historical data, a "great quake" is probably overdue in the fault system that runs through CA.
However, that "Kremlin report"....
We have a large body of very experienced geo-scientists working at CalTech. Some are directly employed by CalTech, and others are in the USGS.
Given the apparent silence from CalTech, I'm not going to lose any sleep tonight.

The New Madrid fault caused the highest magnitude quakes recorded in the continental US just about 170 years ago. Maybe it's time again but it's a
long way from the west coast.

Someone needs to review their physics. Unless you're an astrologer, the inverse square law still rules. Sure, there's always the straw that broke the
camel's back, but gravity is a pretty weak force. Too bad GS has no astrologers on staff.

One advantage of using a conventional water versus a tankless is that you'll have 30-50 gallons of potable water on hand if there's a mega quake. I
think the rule of thumb is 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food and you'll survive. I know that I'd be better off
with a couple of weeks of not eating.

Recently the cluster of quakes there was being blamed on an oil industry technique to squeeze every bit of oil/gas from the ground called hydraulic
fracturing or "fracking"- of which Haliburton in the King. Only New York has actually banned the practice though so far.

That depends on the height of the wave. There were people in Half Moon Bay that did the opposite - they went to the wharf to see the water rise and
fall. We drove inland to about 200 ft above sea level and waited. However, Skyline Blvd was chock full of vehicles that morning from residents.
The tsunami wave in Japan went inland quite a bit in some places. As I remember it was over a mile.

Elevation is the key...
As we have seen in Thailand and Japan, a 'bad' tsunami isn't a 100 foot tall monster wave... it is the whole ocean surging upon the land... even an 8
ft. wave made a mess of Santa Cruz.
I think the Japan wave was 20-30 feet... but the whole ocean was behind it and surged way inland in the LOW areas between hills. After the initial
wave hit... the ocean kept moving in, upon the land... and there was more than one.
