Rainbow similar to before China and Chile quake seen over Los Angeles

reply to post by wtfhuh


The original article that I had stated never talked about a causal correlation between the appearing of rainbows and earthquakes. What was stated in the article was nothing but a fact. A rainbow like formation was visible in the skies of LA similar to the ones in regions that experienced devastating earthquakes. It is a matter of subjective interpretation or individual speculation as to what might be the cause for the rainbow. At least I have not turned this into a "prediction-with-a-date" phenomenon.

The original article merely stated a fact that a rainbow was visible in LA and that it was somewhat similar to the ones that was visible in Chile and China before they experienced earthquakes. I have not added my own personal twist to this article on this thread and told everyone to run for the hills. I have mentioned an article and a source. As far as the credibility of the article and the source and the real reason for the phenomenon are concerned, that has to be analyzed here on this forum. Some posters have done that and have explained the probable reasons for this phenomenon brilliantly unlike some others who would rather prefer to indulge in a holier than thou commentary.

I have not created a causal correlation out of this by suggesting that an earthquake might be imminent because of the appearance of this rainbow. I have not indulged in scare tactics by telling others to run for the hills. I have not turned this into a "prediction-with-a-date-attached" thread. As far as investigating the credibility of the news article or the real reason for the phenomenon is concerned, isn't it something that ATS does on a regular basis? Articles are mentioned and if possible, are debunked by others.

Coincidence or not, this is weird. Because these clouds were seen in 2 majors earthquake before does it means they can be used to predict them ? I'm not sure, it would all seem to easy if it was the case.

I know only one sure way to predict earthquakes and you better be ready to run if all of the sudden your pet starts running out for no apparent reasons.

i hope no earthquake happens, my best friend just decided to move there monday

HAARP??

Good God, we had cloud like that over my home in New Zealand last year. And the year before. Actually I can remeber seeing clouds like that so often I needed to touch myself to be sure I was alive because according to some I should have died a thousand deaths by earthquake by now.

How do people actually believe this stuff?

You know why this isn't going to happen? because its been posted on ATS.

I've never seen a prediction come true in 4 years on this site.

I just woke up to an earthquake, not the biggest, a 3.0, but perhaps it was foreshock

lots of activity now in la aeria...

Same here. It was quite a jolt and loud sound, I guess of the house being jolted, for a 3.0!

I've been watching the US Geological Survey site, and also have the same app on my phone, and there have been a lot of small shakers in the Greater Los Angeles / Southern California area lately. I watch this every day and for the past several days it seems the activity in this area has picked up.

So what's the window on this. I mean, two hours, six, a day, a week? A 2.5 quake? 4.0?

If any earthquake of any magnitude happens within the next month is it going to be, "See! Remember the cloud! The earthquake! It can't be a coincidence!"

Lol...I believe a prediction could be considered accurate if the phenomenon occurs within a reasonable timeframe of the actual predicted event. In this case, let's take into consideration that the previous two earthquakes happened within an hour of the rainbow.

It's safe to say that today's event is more than likely unrelated at this point however; the swarm of 20+ earthquakes that occurred along the west coast today may be associated.

If this is the case it would seem to suggest that the magnitude, at least, has little or no effect on the appearance of this phenomenon.

I just read there was a 3.9 quake at 8:19 p.m. Friday off the coast of Port Hueneme in Ventura County.

I live in California. I feel like something is about to happen, and it's not just going to affect SoCal. But predictions never ever come true, right? So we're probably safe. I'll just add that my dog seems afraid. She did something she's never done before: she crawled into the little space under my desk. Right now she is sitting right beside me. Normally she'd be sleeping. Something's got her spooked.

guess the main issue is ..that when those clouds appear above an quake sensitive aeria ... you should not go in panic but beeing extra alert for some event...
and observe animal live also extra...!

Btw...the 3.9 location could be the end of an line if you draw an line trough the baja swarm to LA...with an little curve...an existing fault ore an new one in progress?

If you live in an "earthquake area" and are interested in some type of "warning" you need to pay attention to the animals not the sky.

Well slap my *ss and call me Sally Fleabit is in on it as well!!

This is turning out to be a freaking reunion. How are you doing?

But i have to disagree with you there..

Since there is absolutely nothing linking rainbows in the clouds and earthquakes

It must be nice to have these kinds of certainties? Are you sure you have read all the science associated with this phenomenon? I know there has been a show of it on Discovery channel if this better fits your window of reference?

Sure.. here is an entire book on the subject of odd phenomena attributed to having a connection with earthquakes:

www.worldscibooks.com...

There has been some eyewitness reports. That hardly constitutes fact. There are a few theories on what it MIGHT be. It's human nature to assume that event A was related to event B because of time and location of two events. Doesn't make them related though. There is 0% scientific proof they are related. I'm not even saying they are not. Perhaps one day they will be able to provide some level of proof they are in fact related. But until then.. *shrug*

And while you may think I'm Mr. Rain on the Doomsayers Parade-Guy, but I like simple fact, common sense, and logic to combat some of the fearmongering that goes on around here. And considering I am 100% accurate so far, in my predictions of what will NOT occur when someone comes up with yet another wild story / theory, those with those theories have a much lower track record.

And I am not gonna slap your butt, but I can call you Sally if you'd really like that.

its all non sense
there will be no quake

Think of it logically though. China and Chile are quite large continental countries, that (by chance) happened to have Atmospheric effects occuring before a major Earthquake occured.
I'm sure the same could be said for any large country with Seismic activity that there's always a chance of people adding up 2+2 and creating 5.
Change in localised magnetic fields such as compass swings would have me more concerned.

Well so far iI have had 2 and dated and confirmed by my posts within the con-fines of ATS........
Dream before hand and came true shortly after.
