LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — The oil production technique known as fracking is more widespread and frequently used in the offshore platforms and man-made islands near some of California's most populous and famous coastal communities than state officials believed.
In waters off Long Beach, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach — some of the region's most popular surfing strands and tourist attractions — oil companies have used fracking at least 203 times at six sites in the past two decades, according to interviews and drilling records obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request.
Just this year in Long Beach Harbor, the nation's second-largest container port, an oil company with exclusive rights to drill there completed five fracks on palm tree-lined, man-made islands. Other companies fracked more than a dozen times from old oil platforms off Huntington Beach and Seal Beach over the past five years.

They go to the surface to die when they are sick or old. Just pure speculation on my part, but I would say that the increase/frequency of dead oarfish washing up probably has more to do with Fukishima and the increased radiation levels in the pacific than it does some sort of earthquake prediction.

I'd bet money its because of fukushima radiation.
I have 2 friends, one who lived near L.A., the other near San Diego, both have geiger counters and have had off the charts readings during rain storms, and have both moved, one to the midwest, the other to the east coast.
I wouldn't move to the west coast if you paid me to.

Hmmm...was just searching and reading on these fish being EQ predictors. If that is true then I wonder if there are any other signs.
2 Oarfish in found this close in time together seems very odd in itself. A single sighting in general is said to be extremely rare from what I can find on the net.

Hmmm yea regardless of whether its an "omen" or not, fact remains 2 rare, giant deep-sea oarfish were found washed up near/on CA shore and that means theres likely other giants that have died but sunk, etc, which means something is going on ecologically..

Marine biologists have a mystery to solve: Why have the carcasses of two rare oarfish washed up on Southern California shores within a week?
Wow, two dead oarfish dead within 5 days. Could they have been a mated pair or something?
