LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — People from Los Angeles to Tokyo have been gathering to honor the victims of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan two years ago.
Residents in Tokyo on Monday, meanwhile, stood in silence at 2:46 p.m., the very moment the magnitude-9.0 quake struck on March 11, 2011, and wiped out entire coastal communities along with triggering a tsunami that caused three reactors to meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
One lesson that emerged from the analyses is that the current advice to stock up on enough water and food to last three days is laughable, Yu said, "You need to prepare for at least two weeks."

O.K. - WAY out there - I've been watching for 3/11/13, due to the crescent moon and the mishaps that just happen to coincide with the crescent moon and the false flags by the elites. Can they make earthquakes? If I lived in SoCal, I'd be watching the Louisiana sink hole catastrophe happening.
Any way, Not much on the MSM about these quakes in CA. Are people really preparing themselves? Can anyone tell me if californians are spooked?
The planet has now entered a window of elevated risks for a major earthquake to strike somewhere on the planet from now, through March 23, 2013.

LOS ANGELES, March 17 (Xinhua) - A big earthquake is expected to hit California sooner or later from now till the next 30 years, but it is unlikely to trigger devastating tsunami similar to what happened in Japan, says a seismologist at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Seismological Laboratory.
The seismologist said if the San Andreas fault erupts, it is unlikely to trigger devastating tsunami.
Kate Hutton, a staff seismologist at Caltech Seismological Laboratory, told Xinhua in an interview Thursday that based on the research by seismologists, a big earthquake will happen in California in the next 30 years. But it is hard to tell when it will happen. It could happen in a year or in 30 years.
Hutton said scientists have not been able to predict earthquakes. No one has predicted the Japan earthquake, and no one can predict when and where the next big earthquake will happen.
According to Hutton, there is no way to predict the earthquake for a short time like weather forecast, but based on long years of research, scientists can make long time predictions.
The reason, she explained, is that devastating tsunami in Japan was triggered by a big earthquake under the sea, but "The Big One" as people were talking about in California is an inland earthquake, which is far away from the ocean and would have little chance to trigger devastating tsunami.
According to Hutton, "The Big One" could be as strong as eight- magnitude, but she did not believe it would be as big as nine-magnitude.
According to California State Geologist John Parrish, California, unlike Japan, does not have a subduction zone -- a fault where one plate slides under another in an earthquake -- off its coast. The thrusting motion under the sea was what generated the 40-foot tsunami seen in Japan.

We had the same sort of article appear in The Seattle Times yesterday. One paragraph stood out enough for me to save it aside to discuss it with my boyfriend (I've been through a disaster and he understands that I wish to be prepared for a seismic event that is very possible in this area). The paragraph said:

Do you find it is too quiet today? Should there not be some 3's coming in from California or do you think the pressure has been released and its found equilibrium?

Ok..... I will take that and hope for the best for the West Coast.
There is a site, below that predicts a Japan Quake tomorrow. What are your thoughts?
