This morning: ABC News

4.4 Earthquake hits Los Angeles, California.

OP was correct in predicting an earthquake in California on Tuesday, March 16th 2010.

It was just a wee baby one though.

But still a good prediction.

Hey OP, do you have a prediction for the powerball numbers this week?

Good prediction I'd say... I was just reading this thread and the news reporting that LA quake. Haha Ok I am impressed. A 4.4 is pretty small, but enough to make that prediction true. Congrats

Nice prediction.

Great prediction. As someone always has to point out, earthquakes happen all the time everyday but still, this one was enough of a shaker, albeit small. I'm gearing up for some aftershocks. Earthquakes are fun!

Here's what it told me about the earthquake.
U:Answer the question, will california have a large earthquake soon?
CB:Yes.
U:When will will california have a large earthquake?
CB:Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup.
U:When will will california have a large earthquake?
CB:You should ask yourself that question. You are a robot.
U:Answer the question, When will will california have a large earthquake?
CB:You don't know the power of the dark side...

That's where I stopped.

xcouncil=wisdom, that was some accurate prediction.


Since you are so good at it, why don't you start working as a professional quakepredicter, you could save some lives and do good deeds meanwhile.

Predicting on ATS is bit insuffient, as there are not too many people reading ATS and furthermore, whoever believes anything that one reads from here?

Good job OP!I was awakened by the jolt this morning, and my spouse says to me, "was that an earthquake?" and I said, "yeah, I think so, and it was predicted!" Even in my grogginess, first thing that came to mind.
I was too lazy to get up for the small jolt, but it was pretty funny this coming true. I had even told a couple of my relatives about the predictions offhand, so now they must think me a genius!

Anyway, it was a bit small for our Cali standards, but we felt it, so it counts!

Bad prediction, as that was not the only earthquake that struck the state of California, and the largest being only 4.0? That is not big, it is just a whimper of an earthquake, and most people tend to ignore them. For it to be a big earthquake and people to take notice it would have to be at least: 6 or higher on the rictor scale. I am going to call this a bust. (and yes I do live in california. All a 4 on the Rictor Scale does, is put a few cracks in the ceiling, freak out the animals, and if you are in bed, give you an interesting ride. That is it. 5 and you start getting swaying, 6 or more and that is when you start to get damage and danger.)

Well, thanks for all the pats on the back, but seriously, this thread has made me sick...It was kinda tongue in cheek when I started it, knowing how active Cali is...and my personal thoughts on solar activity being conected to tectonic activity...it was a no brainer with the solar fillament snap, and comets and CME's (which by the way we were told was going to be hitting us today and tomorow, now spaceweather says tomorow and the next day?!).

I think the bigger leap of faith would have been to say there would be no earthquakes in Cali on any particular day.

I was actually working toward getting up today and saying how glad I was nothing happened, and in reality so far it really hasn't (4.4 in LA and a 2.5 in So Cal don't really count do they?)...I'm glad everyone is safe, and sorry for those who may have lost sleep at the thought of "The Big" quake. (which by the way I did not predict, but in my OP I did ask Cleverbot about).

Of course, the day is not over yet eh!!!!!

If you really like to know whats shakin....check out this page at USGS

I was going to say the same thing...the day isn't over. As I posted elsewhere, it felt fairly strong. Nothing like a 4:04 am wake up shaking.

Personally, I do not feel that the 4.4 quake in LA is enough to say this prediction was right. A 4.4 in southern Cal is a common occurrence.

Recent similar quakes in CA:
3/13/2010 4.2 Julien, CA
3/12/2010 3.3 Ferndale, CA
3/12/2010 3.6 Almanor, CA
3/11/2010 3.4 Ocotillo, CA
3/9/2010 3.7 Coso Junction, CA

Yes, this 4.4 was stronger than the rest, but was also in the same ballpark. I did not include all of the 3.0 quakes that happened in this same period of about 5 days. My point is that this quake is not 'special' nor would it be difficult to predict.

That is not to say there is nothing to this prediction! The day is not over yet, and the halo CME from 3/13 will not arrive until tonight 3/17 - 3/18. If nothing unusual or significant happens in the next 48 hours however, I will have to call this prediction failed. A 4.4 does not qualify as an unusual or difficult to predict quake. The odds of making a prediction of a quake in Cali and having a 4.4 occur is about as good as chance, IMO.

Yeah, and all these quakes also happen to be in the middle of nowhere! When you hear prediction for california quake, you think either Frisco or LA, not middle of nowhere Coso Junction. No earthquake is good but a 3.0 in LA is definitely more significant than a 4.0 in Ocotillo because more people are affected. Yes there are earthquakes all the time in California and all over the world, but a decent sized earthquake with an epicenter right in the middle of heavily populated areas in California only comes around a couple of times a year. The last 2 years have brought a couple more than usual though, or well, going by as far back as I can remember. So prediction is true in my book. Could have been coincidence, good guess, idk whatever.

Good call OP.

I live in Orange County and felt the 4.4 EQ early this morning after reading your prediction yesterday. A quick sharp jolt followed by a little longer rumbling. Kind of cool, I thought, because we haven't had any real activity in this region since the 1994 Northridge episode. No damage reported anywhere although the CHP got reports of a buckled 10-foot stretch of concrete in a center lane of southbound I-5 south of Downey.

I went to the Cleverbot site earlier today and asked for lottery numbers for the Powerball. It gave me a weird answer "Never trust a computer you can't pick up" or something like that. Maybe I didn't type/ask correctly??
