Guy Who Predicted Large EQ Event in CA Now Saying Lookout Alaska

The guy who predicted a large event in CA 10-15 hours before the 7.2 Baja quake using his special brand of geomagnetic and sunspot science is now saying he fears a large event will likely happen in Alaska during his watch period of April 4-12:



I guess only time will tell, but I have opened up GEE monitoring of many stations in Alaska.

Uh, the quake was in Mexico, not California,
Close, but no cigar.

a lot of us here have been talking about the potential of this happening, seems like the quakes are moving north up the pacific rim.

7.0's and such are no big deal up here, after the 64 quake things have been built to withstand quakes.


I'm hoping its nothing to big, i wouldn't mind a nice 2minute 7.5.

we dont have roller coasters or amusement parks up here, it would be fun

edited to add: its been about 6years since our last 7.5 and it only lasted about 30seconds.

had birds at the time (super annoying birds ) and they went nuts about 10seconds before the quake, its amazing how animals can detect that kind of thing.

Well to be fair It was in Baja California, Mexico

So it was in California, just not the one we was all thinking of.

I see you're the adventurous type.

Well, hopefully it won't be anything like this:

geology.com...

Or this:
en.wikipedia.org...

Or this:

Is there any proof this guy predicted an Earthquake in California? Does his prediction have a reliable time stamp.

When it comes to predicting Earthquakes in California, one must keep in mind small Earthquakes happen in California every day. If I predicted an Earthquake to occur in California on July 4, my ability to predict earthquakes will not be validated if there are a couple small tremors somewhere in California on July 4 because small tremors happen everyday.

haha, I'd like to think I'm adventurous.

that huge wave was actually caused by a massive landslide/ice-slide.

and the 64 one was nuts, i wasn't born yet, but my father lived threw it and it didn't sound fun at all.

I really hope its nothing like the 64, it doesn't matter how well built infrastructure is when its 9+ on the rector scale buildings, roads and bridges are gonna fail.

yeah hope it's not like that either. My mom, dad and I think most of my siblings lived through it too. It's just too weird how pretty much everywhere has been hit by earthquakes but here so I think it's about due.

The quake that happened in Mexico effected all of Southern California. That is because it was on the boarder.

Well, a 5.1 did just hit Alaska, Aleutian Islands.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Nothing that's going to bother Alaska Man though.

Still, we need to keep an eye on this guy's research!

Just had a bit of a shaker a few minutes ago. Wasn't too big though I'm guessing a 3 or less. Actually looking at the map it was a 4.7 but 27 miles from Anchorage.

Yes, and another looks like it is incoming now. Maybe this guy is right.

So far a 4.7:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

and another, not posted yet- I see it in GEE.

CA is an abbreviation for THE California though. Not for Baja Cali, Mexico. To be fair I just wanted to state that because it is obvious why people are getting confused with the thread title as is...

hmm weird, I didn't feel those two just the first one. I kinda like this site a bit better. www.aeic.alaska.edu...

It may have been below a 2.5, in which case you would not have felt it and the USGS wouldn't report it here:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

As to that other site, I don't like it as much, because they aren't posting at least an estimated magnitude right away, like the USGS does. But thanks for the link. I'll bookmark it, just in case.

lol, no sooner I said that and the second one which I saw in GEE came up at your link... Mag: 1.15- that's why you didn't feel it.

haha, I think either one is ok I doubt there is any real difference between the two. It actually wouldn't surprise me if the map they use is the same one from the usgs site.
