Quake Watch 2010

I'd be watching Indonesia, Chile, California, Alaska and maybe NZ more closely in the coming months.

Soooo, pretty much the ring of fire then! That area we all watch all the time?!

A pod of 74 Pilot whales stranded themselves on the beach in New Zealand. news.yahoo.com...

Could this be a sign of another big quake?

When I read the story earlier the thought did cross my mind... there was a pod just before the big quake, too, now I think about it - I'll go and dig out the dates...

EDIT: Found dates... 60+ whales beached themselves up on the north of North Island on 20 August - 2 weeks before our big 7.1. The recent beaching (today) of 50 or so took place 90km away from the first.

Very interesting.... could mean there's another big one on its way..

Only the 5th quake in the Auckland region this year by the looks of it, and the 2nd largest...

Well that's scary...if a pod of beached whales is a sign of impending earthquakes, then I wonder if the hundreds of dead fish and shrimp just found here in the Pacific NW (more exactly the Olympic Peninsula and the strait of Juan DeFuca) is a sign of things to come here in WA state. They are saying the oxygen levels in the water are unusually low in the water. They've also found eels and octopus that are having to breath heavier than normal and the octopus are changing colors because of it. No wonder they are holding earthquake drills today here in the coastal areas.
I wonder if someone knows more than what the public is being told...

Alaska has been making unsual movements lately and the past hour has been busy - lots of red squares

I believe there is a big quake on the cards. Keep an eye on solar activity its picking up slowly but surely. I'm convinced that they are connected.
Be safe.

Whales beach periodically and earthquakes happen all the time, that doesn't mean that earthquakes cause Whales to beach.
It could be related to the big storm as well.
But then again whale beachings happen in the middle of summer in fne weather too.

Alaska's getting pounded!

With you on this. It's funny - I don't know a lot about all this stuff but my gut has me in a weird state of anticipation/apprehension that I've never felt before...Feel like I'm waking up and really taking on board how interconnected we are to everything around us; sun, sea. planets etc. Been living in cloud cuckoo land!

Encouraged my sis to update her emergency box in LA and review emergency plans
JUST IN CASE...
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were wrong and 'The Big One' never came and there were only a series of multiple little quakes? From my mouth to Gods ears...

Isn't today the 24th Sept, the day the 9.0 mag quake is supposed to hit the West Coast of USA?

I wonder if thats UTC or local time?
7.5hrs into the 24th Sept here in NZ

Nothing

today is the 23rd muzzymeister at least for me

quakey quakey stay away

how did I miss the big quake prediction

We did just have a 2.5 in Washington though. 09/23 here today

reply to post by muzzy


Hey Muzzy - It's 4:16 pm September 23, 2010 here on the East Coast of the US. - Do you have a link for the prediction?? I have heard a number of people mention that something is expected to hit tomorrow with the effects of the full moon and the equinox which is today. And, Alaska has been behaving very strangly IMO

I'm sure if you search hard enough you'll manage to find someone, somewhere, who has predicted a quake for the 23/24...just a second of searching on Google found loads... including:

www.quakeprediction.com...

... seems to spread his bets somewhat!

reply to post by Anmarie96


maybe this
www.abovetopsecret.com...

but doesn't mention sept. 24. still looking

sorry I can't remember where I seen it. The date just stuck in my memory.
it might have been that crazy (mentally challenged) kid Frankie MacDonald. I see his vid has gone from U-Tube.
Hoax?
