actually you are wrong - it said Oct. 7th would be the start of an emotional release for 6 months and the percurser to it would be Sept 23-27th - Paulson came out on Sept 23rd, saying they needed 700 billion for bailouts.

You say Tenn NEVER has earthquakes? Look at this list that shows plenty of activity in Tenn. Small as they may be they are still considered earthquakes

According to scientists, a New Madrid earthquake measuring over 7.5 on the Richter scale could generally be expected to take place every 200 to 300 years. Such a quake now would trigger destruction in up to twenty states and cause billions of dollars in damage at population centers. The quakes of 1811–12 were comprised of approximately 2,000 tremors, some of which would measure over 8.0 on today’s Richter scale. For several years afterward, there were hundreds of aftershocks. The only reason there was not a catastrophic loss of life from that earthquake was that the area was very sparsely settled. Witnesses reported upheavals so severe that the Mississippi River ran backwards and changed course. Those quakes also formed Tennessee’s Reelfoot Lake by submerging more than ten square miles of land. In addition, huge tracts of land in northeast Arkansas sank into the earth, creating the “sunken lands,” which were uninhabitable for decades. Rich farmland disappeared into the earth or was covered in sand.
An earthquake of M6.8 or greater on the Hayward Fault, in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area, is increasingly likely. The last major earthquake on the Hayward Fault was in 1868, 140 years ago: research by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and others indicate the past five such earthquakes have been 140 years apart on average.
According to newly updated information from members of the 1868 Hayward Earthquake Alliance, a major earthquake on the Hayward fault would impact more than 5 million people and property and contents valued in excess of $1.5 trillion in the six counties surrounding the fault. If the 1868 earthquake were to reoccur today, Risk Management Solutions (RMS) estimates total economic losses to residential and commercial properties would likely exceed $165 billion. Other factors, such as fire, damage to infrastructure and related disruption would substantially increase the loss.
In marked contrast to Hurricane Katrina where uninsured losses were approximately 60 to 70 percent of total economic losses, more than 95 percent of projected Hayward Fault earthquake residential losses and 85 percent of commercial losses will be uninsured.

Jim Birkland, the man who correctly predicted the Northridge earthquake and many others, has set the window at Dec. 11th-18th.
He believes it will be on the west coast anywhere from Seattle to LA and gives it 80% probability for a 7.0 or greater.

Look at this everyone I haven't seen this much activity worldwide ever.
Look at the Middle-east the whole area is lit up with quake flags, that I can not even see the map underneath.
Disaster Alerts Worldwide
Not much in the US, but there is a lot going on in the ME.

I check the earthquake map on a daily basis and I can tell you that activity has been increasing over the past two months all over the world.
This isn't tinfoil hat stuff, it isn't Blossom Goodchild crap, nor is it fear mongering. There IS something worth watching here. People have been discussing an earthquake possibility for several months.
There have been 190 earthquakes in the past six months in the Central and Southern US regions. Utah has been having earthquakes recently; California is as active as always. There is some weird activity with volcanoes and earthquakes in Alaska, in the past couple of months multiple volcanoes erupted at the same time.
If it was just the web bot alone, I'd blow it off, especially when they put the numbers affected at somewhere between 2.2 million and 22 million. That seems a tad high, and if that many were affected, the resulting problems would likely last longer and be bigger than the initial disaster.
The web bot alone doesn't do much for me, but when I see how the military is behaving, I get concerned. When you have the government doing the largest practice drills ever and in multiple locations, you have to believe something is happening.
It's like when they do terror drills and then there is a terror event. Given that Arizona is running the largest rescue drill with an international team between now and December 12, my bet is on California for December 11.
The name of the training is called Angel Thunder, and it is noted that, "a major part of training will center on a mock earthquake in a foreign country near a combat zone." Odd that they are doing the drills in Arizona when their hasn't been much seismic activity in that state. So perhaps the government is figuring on Los Angeles as a possible target area with evacuees going to Arizona and New Mexico.
It's not a situation of "I told you so" where you don't expect UFO's over Alabama; this is a plausible situation and worth mentioning.
Researchers have made great strides in earthquake prediction. If it was in Southern California, there's no way you could evacuate the area in less than a few weeks. No one is saying you need to do anything, other than be aware of it.
