San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says

Don't the 'experts' say this every month? Anyway, here's a new article which warns that the fault is @ 150 years overdue. One of these days.... especially with the recent activity in Japan, Ecaudor, etc.

The San Andreas fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles.

It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.

“The springs on the San Andreas system have been wound very, very tight. And the southern San Andreas fault, in particular, looks like it’s locked, loaded and ready to go,” Jordan said in the opening keynote talk.

I use QuakeFeed a lot, nice app.

Entire "ring of fire" is looking quite active today. 7.0 in the south pacific and a 6.6 west of central America.

While they have been saying this for a long time...they're more right now than they were then

Yes they say this every month and yes an ATS member posts a thread about it every month.

Someone is going to be right some time.

No, it's not 150 years overdue, seismologists talk about quake frequencies of 50, 100, 500 years.
so according to statistics they set strength/frequencies of major quakes.

The LA Times is certainly a major mouthpiece of the oligarchy.

What do the PTB know about such looming disasters that the rest of us don't?

Do they REALLY have Tesla quake making technologies?

Do they REALLY have windows on the future via technologies or spiritual entities from beyond our time/space dimension?

Are they sort of trying to prepare the serfs and slaves for massive death in a way that absolves them of feeling very responsible regardless of how much they might contribute to such goings on?

= = =

I don't know. I just keep wondering what is with all this seemingly 'high level expert' fairly constant warning. There HAS to be a reason for it that's not been publicized, I'd think.

You are correct. Wrong choice of words on my part. What I meant that's been @ 150 years since a major quake on that particular fault.

Geeze,living in So Cal for 63 years,I think I have heard this since Kindergarten,so yes maybe some day a big one will come,but then again what place on earth better equipped,so no worrys,another doom's day post,seems to be the norm anymore

/Doom off, really hoping these as said by the "quake frequencies" of this fault and the Cascadia-others as well- are very off. Maybe there are deviation from the patterns as it is so far with Cascadia, but as they say it can be any time. One may spark another, the affected locations devastation won't just be limited to those places but affect the country and world as a whole.

As a Californian, I can say that's not accurate. San Andreas had a major earthquake in 1989, nor cal. I was in that one.

Yup, lol. I grew up in CA. People have been quake-mongering for as long as o could remember.

I was born and raised on the Andreas fault. I grew up with "The Big One's" coming.

I'm now 70. If I'd lived in fear, instead of living my life - - - I never would have had a life.

I suppose it will happen one day. Be prepared, but don't stop living.

The new San Andreas Assault rifle, locked. loaded and ready to go available at wal Mart. No but seriously, they were saying that when I was a kid as well but now they know lots more. I recently watched a special about it with michio Kaku and its pretty scary whats going on with it. They have correlated measurements with earthquake sites that are simultaneous or preceding a large san andreas quake and it looks like we are overdue compared to their stats.

Yeah this gun has been locked and loaded since Lincoln was POTUS. California is way overdue and yet they have spent 100 years building stuff and populating where they shouldn't. I have heard this nonsense personally for over 40 years and it happens to be the very reason that I have only been in that state 1 time my entire life and that was on a lay over in San Francisco that I had no control over. All of the retrofitting will not stop a building or a highway or a bridge from collapsing. If anyone chooses to live there in spite of all the dire warnings they get what they asked for.

But hey, we all have to go sometime, me I would prefer it wasn't in a huge pile a rubble.

I grew up in Southern California, and heard this type of rhetoric all my life. Honestly, I have become much more concerned with a quake and subsequent Tsunami from the Cascadia subduction zone than any seismic activity from the San Andreas fault. The devastation resulting from the two events is pretty much incomprobale.

.they're more right now than they were then

And they will be more right next month than this week. You could always move to Australia plenty of land here.

You reminded me of Fukushima,

truthnewsinternational.wordpress.com...

The big question is WHY would Israel trigger a tsunami and destroy a nuclear facility The answer is simpleThe world banks, Goldman Sachs, and other financial scammers had gotten into a routine of bankrupting nations via massive “banker bailouts”, and Japan was having none of it.
When they approached Japan for their “bailout”, which was in NO WAY OWED, the same way America’s bailout was in NO WAY OWED, and exceeded loan defaults by over 10X, loans which when defaulted on still resulted in the loss of homes (the U.S. “bailout” was a total fraud, used as a cover story for Nuclear Blackmail READ THAT ONE, IT IS A CORNERSTONE TO UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THIS,
Anyway, the Japanese had a strong economy with no debt and they got approached the same way with the threat of destruction and said NO. As a result, the global scamming elite delivered a fake man made earthquake and nuclear tsunami, and topped it off with a disaster at Fukushima.
Now the Japanese are now donating TRILLIONS to the world bank, “willfully” to “end world poverty”. This means that certain poor impoverished boys will receive solid gold kippas as bar mitzvot gifts.

NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL Permalink Israel's nuclear deterrent method exposed. This information was discovered as part of my fukushima report Israel is keeping a dirty little secret . . . . . Jim Stone, Freelance Journalist,
Jan 8 2012 There is a reason why the U.S. government is waging war all over the world, even obviously against the good of the nation. There is a reason why the U.S. government rapidly rolled over and did the banker bailout without question, in an amount which exceeded the value of every mortgage in the country by more than 3x, and every mortgage in default by over 15x; an amount which will destroy America once the ripple effect is finished.
Many of you are no doubt scratching your heads, wondering why every elected president turns back on his campaign promises the second the inaguration is complete. Believe me, the corruption of American elected officials is not that deep. You cannot elect several presidents in sequence, and have them all perfectly screw the country, ESPECIALLY the way Bush and Obama did; they had their reason, and it is called NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL.....

Sadly, their only affordable option allowed them to screw the world''''

What if Israel came up with a way to smuggle nuclear weapons into the most sensitive areas of all the developed nations - areas where if anything big goes BOOM all is lost? Could there be a clandestine reason for the supposed shortage of Helium 3, which is needed in the type of radiation detectors required to detect a nuclear weapon?
You can block protons, but neutrons are difficult to shield entirely, and you can forget about neutrinos - you can't hide a nuke from the right detector, one which uses helium 3 in it's detector element. Why did America and all other nations somehow run out of Helium 3 a few years ago, which simultaneously left their borders open to nuclear weapons smuggling? Coincidence? I think not.....

The PTB are soooo heavily into disinformation and Kabuki dance charades . . . it can be hard to discern who is doing exactly what and how . . . which is their design and plan.

Have studied globalism since 1965. I just know that their character is such that IF THEY HAD THE MEANS, they would certainly use it in deadly destructive ways.

I don't know if they do, or not. I know some have CLAIMED that they do. Some such claimants have been known by me personally or close to personally.

a reply to: TheConstruKctionofLight

I think the Israel issue is a lot more complex than you make it out to be.

Certainly the Rothschilds are highly likely up to their pointed heads in globalist evil deeds.

But the Rothchilds are not observant Jews.

And, Israel as a nation is still in the middle of a long list of prophetic truths that God is in charge of and will carefully bring to completion.

Certainly the nation of Israel as a whole has forsaken Yehovah. And, they will be disciplined harshly yet one more time or so because of that.

But God has disciplined them within an inch of their existence before. He will evidently do it near to that yet again.

Time will tell.

I do not believe that Israel as a nation is as guilty of as many evil deeds as the oligarchy is claiming. The oligarchy has long wanted to utterly destroy Israel. Casting Israel as so very evil as they have is very similar to another evil leader who began casting the Jews as the source of all evil in order to eventually utterly destroy them.

Yes, but who pays any attention?

California has been running drills constantly, they've invested billions of $'s into making infrastructure more able to withstand what's expected, and they've passed sweeping laws intended to guarantee that new buildings are constructed to an adequate standard and old buildings are retrofitted to be able to withstand this potentially deadly event.

Despite all of this, people have become extremely comfortable in these areas and they don't seem to understand what's likely to happen when this fault blows. I would guess that maybe, at most, 10% of people in risk areas have bothered to prepare any kind of plan for when this happens. People still don't seem to understand that when a big enough event happens you can't just call for help and expect it to arrive. Everything is overwhelmed and things need to be prioritized. Anything that wakes people up to the risk they are living with is a good thing, people in the area need to be constantly reminded to prepare for the San Andreas or the Cascadia fault to go.

People focus on the San Andreas, but the Cascadia Fault is capable of massive earthquakes. It's estimated that the last one on this fault in 1700 was up to a 9.2 and shifted the fault in an upward motion by up to 66 feet. This was a massive event resulting in a tsunami recorded in the oral histories of communities on the West coast of the US, and in written history of Japan. Everything seems to line-up to create an event which wiped out potentially thousands of people, when communities were far smaller than they are now.

The history in Japan labelled it an "Orphan" Tsunami, because they didn't have the EQ to cause it - because that happened across the Pacific on the coast of Washington.

Obviously they're repeating these things now because the timing is right to do so, after two large events in Japan and Ecuador, and the fact that so many specialists in the field were at an international even in Nevada (I think) a week or so ago, and then at the National Earthquake Conference in Long Beach this week too.

They're trying to hit the right tone here and present this without sounding like they're scaremongering, but they are expecting this to happen soon, they're trying to prepare people for the inevitable right now because they know that this could happen at any moment.

Some people remember the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, that was a 6.9, but they believe this DIDN'T release the energy expected. The energy currently built up in the San Andreas and other faults in the area gives reason to believe that the next one could be considerably larger and that it could trigger other equally damaging quakes within short succession.

Make no mistake, the next major quake to hit the West coast is likely to be a massively damaging one. This is not doom porn, it's not exaggeration, it's not people making sh*t up for the fun of it. Several faults in the region are massively overdue and have masses of energy built up, when one of them goes it's likely to dwarf what happened in '89.

It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of when. The Earth doesn't stop moving just because you moved in lol
