Hi all, I wanted to update you on a conversation I had this morning. I was a little reprimanded by my friend after I had discussed the fact that I had a conversation with others regarding some information he had recently shared with me. As a result, I've been asked to make an extremely clear correction to a post yesterday. Although all the information is scientifically accurate, when describing what "imminent" was referring to in geological terms, the USGS formal position is that "We do not give time tables". I do want to stress that being prepared is a must in any event. Many of you have posted great links to earthquake preparedness sites which I encourage everyone to go to, even if you already have a plan or an emergency kit with you. And, there are many places that offer prepared earthquake kits, QuakeAlert is a good source, however you can also go to their site and see what's included in each kit and create your own for much cheaper. Again, be prepared for whatever today and tomorrow bring, you'll be thankful you did. Good luck all!! I'll certainly keep you posted on new information as I receive it.
I'm not sure if this thread is still active, however I'll find out fairly quick when I post this comment. Unfortunately, I cannot start a thread of my own due to the fact I am a new user. That said, about three months ago I mentioned a "mega-quake" scenario that scientist had not published as factual yet. I hope my credibility has been proven at this point, based on the report by the USGS released June 26, 2011 backing my previous claims that a mega-quake would originate at the base of the San Andreas fault zone in the Salton Sea and work upwards towards the LA Basin and eastward through Palm Springs and Apple Valley. The information provided is very limited. I have to stress this fact. IF the USGS released all the data, along with other scientist's findings on electromagnetic research, the backlash of public hysteria would overwhelm the system. I'm here to tell you, to inform you, that what is being released is a frightening scenario, but what's not being released is even more so. The timeline of such an event is "imminent" in Geological terms, however please keep in mind that that does not mean tomorrow, next month, or even next year. I was reprimanded by a friend of mine the last time I posted for saying "imminent", as most respond to this term as "immediate", which it is not. The electromagnetic research in this area is quite amazing. Quakefinder.com, an organization privately funded, is behind this ground breaking research. Research I might add that the USGS publicly does not acknowledge, but I know for fact they track daily. Please know that I am not here to cause alarm or to predict earthquakes in any way, however I do want everyone to be prepared for an event so massive that the destruction will trump that of Japan's massive earthquake in March 2011. This earthquake is NOT far off. I have to include one final thought; the words not being spoken in mainstream media by scientist is that an overwhelming majority of geologist are indicating that "the course of the 2012 presidential race will be shaped by the response to the devastation in Los Angeles and San Diego counties, making Hurricane Katrina look like a fender bender". Earthquakes are survivable, but you must prepare. Do not just have 3 days of food and water. I guarantee you that it will NOT be enough. Plan for two weeks of basic food and supplies. Moreover, if you have family and loved ones with you in So Cal (Los Angeles to Palm Springs, to San Diego) make a plan for AFTER the quake. Have a meeting place and instructions on how to get there. Just make sure you have a plan and supplies, you'll make it that way. As I have done previously, I'll post more when I know more.
Unfortunately, I agree. This CAN'T be for real. First off, the location of the post indicates "jpl in pasadena". Nothing is a buzz there, trust me. If there was some looming information, I would know about it. Secondly, and most importantly, no current study ever provides short term "EQ Prediction", at least not yet. There are many systems, (mentioned above in various posts), that are actual real-world EQ research programs happening right now. None of which provide information that would be "shocking" with regards to looming short-term predictions. And let me clarify, "short-term" is never within months. True, some RD have provided somewhat short-term results, however the ranges are consistently within years and give a wide range. JPL and many organizations are not in the business of predicting earthquakes, but that's exactly what they do, just not in a short term dated manner. I call it a bluff, unless you reveal your identity or some source of inside information. Thanks

Seven Italian officials and leading seismologists have gone on trial in the city of L’Aquila charged with manslaughter for failing to warn of the possible dangers of a devastating earthquake in 2009 that killed 309 people.
Hoax, darn! Well, I did notice that member jalosangeles2011 was banned about the same time as middlebrook, and yes, jalosangeles was posting on the arkansas thread, perhaps they are the same person? The posts began on page 271 of the arkansas thread.

Given the legitimacy of these studies we have found though, if TM is just messing with us, it's a shame, because they seem to have quite a lot to share.
