A former government “black projects” researcher who previously used fluctuations in the sea surface temperature to predict earthquakes successfully predicted back in April that Northern California would soon suffer from an immense earthquake.
Stan Deyo, who for over 10 years made earthquake forecasts approaching a 90% accuracy rate using U.S. Naval data, pointed out on April 11 that the Iquique earthquake which struck off the coast of Chile on April 1 had been followed by a series of earthquakes moving north towards the United States, particularly Northern California.
Experts armed with seabed core samples and findings from Japan are ready to place odds on the likelihood of a giant earthquake rocking the Northwest.
A new 6,500-year record of megathrust earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest pieced together from lost coastal marshes and offshore sediments is providing the clearest picture yet of the quake and tsunami dangers for along the 750-mile long (1,200-kilometer) Cascadia subduction zone from Northern California to British Columbia.

I can even predict that California is going to have a big earthquake pretty soon. If you consider a 6.1 big.

The Nisqually earthquake (also commonly referred to as "The Ash Wednesday Quake") was an intraslab earthquake, occurring at 10:54 am PST (18:54 UTC) on February 28, 2001. One of the largest recorded earthquakes in Washington state history, it measured 6.8 on the moment magnitude scale and lasted approximately 45 seconds. The epicenter of the earthquake was Anderson Island, about 17 km (11 mi) northeast of Olympia. The focus was at a depth of 52 km (32 mi). Tremors were felt as far away as Scio, Oregon, across the border in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and 175 mi (282 km) east in Pasco, Washington. There were also reports that it was felt as far away as Spokane, Washington and Sandpoint, Idaho.[1]
The quake caused some property damage in Seattle and surrounding areas. Although there were no reports of deaths directly from the earthquake, local news outlets reported that there was one death from a heart attack at the time of the earthquake.[2]

Because it was the biggest in 25 years doesn't make it big by any stretch of the imagination. Come on. a reply to: dreamingawake

So, are they predicting a 9? And exactly how devastating would that be? It's hard to imagine being a layman and given the exponential nature of the Richter scale.
While not costing as much as Japan's EQ, because of less infrastructure in the area.
the numbers of deaths could exceed 10,000. More than 30,00 could be injured. The economic impacts also would be significant" for Washington, Oregon and California, the losses have been estimated at an upwards of about $70 billion.

Nowhere is a 6.1 considered a mega quake. Please.
They declare a state of emergency for a hurricane warning. All it means is it frees up funds for use in clean ups and such. Look up state of emergency. It doesn't necessarily mean catastrophe. Most of the time it's just so governments can shift around funds to deal with clean up. They declared one in north Carolina when a storm washed away a bridge to hatteras island. No life lost no homes destroyed but the bridge was the only link to the mainland so they needed funds to replace it fast. Declare a state of emergency.
We all saw those pictures of broken wine bottles...gosh what a catastrophe.
No chardonnay with dinner tonight dear. OMG NO WINE WHAT WILL WE DO??????
Personally I don't know the governor of California so I can't say if he's a nutter.

The 2014 Iquique earthquake struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April, with a moment magnitude of 8.2

Let me explain just a bit about the earth quakes in Los Angeles county. . The San Andres is a slip fault. It's pushing up against the other side. That means moving together not pulling apart. Hollywood loves to show big growing cracks in the land to represent quake damage. We should wish that were the case it would release a lot of pressure but that doesn't happen in real life. The plates rub against each other and that causes an earth quake. ply to: dreamingawake

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
I watched the video .... most of it. To me a 'megaquake' would have to be a 8.0 or higher. And I'm not seeing a general time frame for this prediction. Did anyone see it?As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
Aug 26 was more than a week ago. Ten days already and woops no quake. Good thing huh?

6.1 is kinda big but wait till the 7.5 one happens i say by the end of this week. Area of Cascadia all the way down to Mexicali is were i think it will be next.
