Not sure what to think of this one. I'm from Arizona. I don't normally babble aloud about earthquakes. But for the last 3 days around 5 am...I've been babbling aloud "Earthquake Los Angeles west of LA epicenter".

Normally, when I babble aloud out of nowhere like that...the event happens. The most publicly known babble-aloud that I did was when my friend Jodi in High School was in the car with me and we were driving home from Hayden Square on a Thursday. Out of nowhere I babbled aloud, "Jason is going to die." She freaked out. Asked me to stop the car. Asking "Which Jason?" (we knew about 10 different Jasons) also asking "When?" And I babbled "This weekend. He's going to die in a drunk driving accident and it's going to be his fault. He'll be drunk and driving." But I couldn't figure out which Jason after I babbled it.

So Jodi confiscated Jason in Tempe's keys away from him all weekend long. She called Holly, and Holly confiscated her boyfriend Jason's keys all weekend. Holly called another girl with a boyfriend named Jason and he had his carkeys taken away all weekend. So three Jason's got their carkeys confiscated all weekend just because I babbled aloud that one of the Jason's was going to be drunk and die in a drunk driving accident on the weekend following that Thursday.

My phone rang on Sunday morning at 5am. It was Rose's and Wade's Jason from Fresno who had died. He was drunk, at a party with Michelle and some other people in the car. Jason drove drunk and on the way home at 3am...he died in a drunk driving accident, his fault. And Jodi's Jason, Holly's Jason and the other girl's Jason were all glad it wasn't them even if they had their carkeys confiscated all weekend over it. So obviously some people take my babble alouds very seriously. Serious enough to confiscate three Jasons carkeys for a weekend over a babble aloud.

The last "babble-aloud" I did was me babbling aloud while fixing dinner that a dumptruck was going to hit the downtown Phoenix police department on 7th Ave. 3 days later...it did. Only it wasn't quite a dumptruck. It was a large monster truck type vehicle. And it rammed straight into the side of the police department.

So....3 days in a row I've babbled aloud..."Earthquake Los Angeles" "epicenter west of LA". I babbled above a 6.0 and I even wrote down 2:52pm on a piece of paper one of the times.

Question is WHEN? I'm not sure. When I babble aloud like that, it happens in a minimal of 3 days, but up to a maximum of 6 months from the time I babble aloud. That's too big of a time frame. The median timeframe is that it happens within a week of the babble aloud. And I'm from Arizona. I hardly ever babble aloud about earthquakes. So it's highly unusual for me to be babbling aloud about earthquakes.

I did check to see if what I babbled was possible, if there could be an epicenter "west of Los Angeles". Turns out there's 5 faultlines "west of LA"
1. Inglewood-Newport fault: most quakes less than a 5.0
2. Santa Monica fault: most quakes below a 5.0
3. Malibu Fault: quakes range between 5.0-6.1
4. Unlabeled fault off the coast, have no idea USGS site didn't name it
5. Channel Islands fault: active monthly lately but little quakes underwater between 3.0-4.0 or so

So I'm figuring the Malibu fault it seems to average between 5.0-6.1 for its larger quakes. The Whittier-Narrows 1987 quake was on the Malibu fault and it was a 5.9-6.1 quake.

Santa Monica, Inglewood-Newport faults are estimated to have above 6.0 quakes in the past, but that was in the years 1920, 1930 and 1933 when the Richter Scale wasn't invented until 1935 so those three quakes weren't actually measured, just estimated because the scale hadn't been invented yet.

Malibu Fault Quakes
2-21-1973 Point Mugu- 5.9
1-1-1979 Malibu- 5.2
10-1-1987 Whittier Narrows- 5.9 to 6.1
1-19-1989 Malibu- 5.0

The fault line is due for its normal 5.9-er or above. And it does fit the pattern. Unless it's the unnamed faultline off the coast. But I wouldn't be babbling aloud unless its a big enough quake for me to see on the news in Arizona.

---shrug--- when I babble aloud...I babble aloud ---shrug--- 3 days to 6 months....from the time I began the morning babble which was Sunday, Nov 27, 2011 usually a median time frame of a week or less from the babble. But I babbled aloud the same thing three days in a row now. So I babbled it again this morn as well.

--shrug-- if I'm babbling aloud, it has to mean something. Not sure why I wrote down 2:52pm on a piece of paper though if babbling aloud each morning around 5am or so. But I did it 3 days in a row now. Sunday babble, Monday babble, Tuesday babble. --shrug--

Normally I dont take any attention of such predictions, but this is such a good and specific one, with history of success, that I will certainly keep an eye of this thread for a while. 6 months or so.

Ugh.....my parents live on the Whittier fault line, had a small one today. Their house is in a dangerous spot, so this makes me nervous. I'm supposed to go spend a few weeks there soon, and I am feeling nervous about it for days already. Wierd considering I grew up there, with the threat of earthquakes a constant.

I sure hope you're wrong.

Great. I live very close to the Whittier fault.
Got lots of noodles & water on hand though.

I hope this babble isn't the big one everyone is expecting, if you are right then kodoos to you for trying to raise the alarm for those who live in L.A.

I hate predictions because here on ATS almost 99.9% of them NEVER come true (Not that I want a disaster to happen, but if it does it will be mother nature and not us due to war) but if you are that .1% that are legit, then my respect to you!

And thanks for advising us!

Cheers!

Good post. Ive had similar experiences. Its like just being suddenly aware of a piece of knowledge, like a sentence was just dropped into your mind. It usually happens when youre doing something fairly mundane thats a typical everyday kind of task for you. Each time its happened to me, its come true exactly as I'd said/heard/thought.
Im going to pay attention to this prediction.

Am I the only one that's curious as to how this babble actually works? Is it like Tourettes? , Is it channeled? is it involuntary? How does this work OP? I'm not questioning the validity of the Babbles, because this is the internet so it must be true! (Sorry I couldn't resist) In all seriousness though, I'm curious as to how this process works , could you explain further?
