Peru/California Quakes in next 24 hours.....

Just a feeling.....don't think I have ever posted one of these before and am happy to say my feeling is wrong when nothing happens.

Mag 8.2+ for Peru
Mag 7.0+ for California

Both will cause severe damage to the surrounding areas......

Ya never know...but I don't think so. Hope you're wrong.

If you think about the fact nobody lost their life in Nor Cal.

It shows how far we have come.

Hopefully, this is a limited event. I don't want to experience a 7.0.

That would be a Monster. I hope you are wrong...

Prediction noted.

There were just quakes in both of those places, what kind of prediction is that? That's like predicting the coyote will fall off a cliff chasing the road runner.

There is an obvious chance those were just tremors for a big one, not impressed with the crystal ball skills here.

Vasa Croe, I do hope you're wrong. But, here in San Francisco, my dog has been on edge all morning, just standing and looking at me like he wants something. He's probably just p_ssed about our recently adopted cat. Still, the cat has been here for over a month and today is the first day that Joe is acting weird. The dog slept through the 6.0 yesterday. Makes you wonder...

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

Are you basing it on the CME that's incoming? It's just one of the usual 'glancing blows' and isn't going to be a direct hit. It's minimal. Anyways ... I hope you are wrong.

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

No....really just some odd, coincidental stuff I won't bore anyone with.

What the heck kind of reply was that? This is a doom porn with a date thread, you should be thrilled!

Have your moderator duties messed with your head?(that was a joke)

Glad we don't have those damn tremors here in the Midwest. Often anyway.

My apologies for not living up to your standards.

Like I said.....just an odd feeling, but I would say that if both of these places got a quake the sizes of the ones I said, that would be pretty crazy.

I'm not sure about the magnitude, but I have a gut feeling Napa will be hit again and soon. I have only felt 2 aftershocks, the rest were pretty small and living in California, you get accustomed to the small ones.

While we have picked up the freaking mess around the house, I haven't put anything back on the walls and all breakable antiques and precious items are packed away in a soft place. We have 2 backpacks next to the door, packed and ready to go.

For some reason my intuition is telling me the 6.1 was just a warning quake, I'm getting myself mentally prepared for the big one. Last night my husband put his shoes by the door and stuffed his wallet and smokes in them so if we had to run, those items would be readily available and we wouldn't have to dig through piles of stuff to find them. That's not normal! I'm afraid, my back is in knots and I have slept a total of 4 hours since 3:21am August 24th.

I hope you are wrong but have a feeling you're on to something here.

The east coast quake was not a quake it was our fore fathers rolling over in their graves as what is happening to this country.

There is a 54% chance of a 5.0 magnitude or greater hitting the Napa area in the next week. Vasa is predicting a 7.0, that's bigger than the 6.1, that would mean the 6.1 was a foreshock and not the actual quake.

After 1989 Loma Prieta quake, we didn't have any aftershocks close to the 6.9, often times they're quite smaller.

A level 6.1 isn't normal for California. We get lots of small ones, under 3.0 all the time, I barely even notice them anymore. I live close to the geysers in Calistoga and there are always small quakes there.

I'll say this, birds have been acting strange all day, dogs are barking and my cat ran full speed to hide under the bed about 30 minutes ago, that was scary.

I've noticed odd behavior too from my cats, friends and neighbors dogs and birds have been acting unusual.

I too hope and pray there is nothing more coming. However, if you have a cat carrier, what do you think of placing them inside and leaving it by the door so you wouldn't have to spend time looking for them later?

a reply to: aboutface

Thank you!

We have those ready to go by the bedroom door and had them in the carriers shortly after the quake when we smelled gas. I'm not working right now, so while I'm home I'm letting them roam around the house, at night we put them in the bedroom so they'll be in a safe place and we can grab them quickly if we have to run.

Last night before going to bed my husband moved the lid on one of the carriers and it made a noise, one cat ran under the bed. She's super traumatized. Poor baby She was sleeping in her bed, it's hard to see so there's an arrow:


Don't know if I'm just being paranoid but I think were going to have another one soon.

*Hides under table*
Hope nothing happen!

I'd pay attention to the animals, especially if it's not just yours that are acting strange. Is the local wildlife also acting odd?

I'd also be leery of using a carrier for them. On the one hand, it's nice to know for sure how to get them, but on the other, if something happens and you are incapacitated and can't get to them, they're trapped now, too. If they're free, they at least have a chance of taking care of themselves. If you have them chipped, there is always the chance of being reunited down the road if you can't locate them right away after a quake.

Animal predictors, think you need a horse or cow. When they drop to their knees, bend over and kiss your rearend goodbye. Horses have been known to drop over a thousand miles from an epicenter.

Here's a 2007 source, wonder what their success rate has been?

Chinese officials believe animals can be used to predict earthquakes, and are setting up a monitoring station at a wildlife park that will use more than 50 horses

Predicting an EQ after a tremor is like predicting kids will smile at the words ice cream. Besides attention, what else is the point of predicting the obvious and hoping it happens?

The man merely said he had a feeling. He didn't start his own psychic hotline. Jeeze
