EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION syzygy - earthquake predictions NASA SATELLITE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTIONS 2010 - YELLOWSTONE ALERT   PREDICTIONS FROM URBAN SURVIVAL 2010     The problem is that as we look at the data, there are at least six great quakes due during calendar 2010 and possibly many more.  After six, we stopped looking - not a pretty sight.  We assume you know a 'great' quake is one with magnitude 8.0 or larger, but in a social sense, Haiti is a 'great' quake based on extreme loss of life.   From the period (approximately) July 7th onward, the data features six clusters of data that will be larger than the global horror that followed the 2004 tsunami.  And - sad to report - the data suggests that 220-million will be moving around just on the [American continent] which means additional quakes can be expected this year of larger magnitude including some hints that one will be on the US West coast.   Among the problems with predictive linguistics technology is that it's not precise. How people use language is drifty on a good day. Although the US quake(s) seems to be California'ish, it could be as far north as Vancouver Island.  Such is the imprecision of the data.  No, can't narrow it down to the Long Valley caldera, Yellowstone, or something as simple as that.   What is clear is that our 'context shift' is 'terra entity', we can't offer any further insight except to say that the data also suggests that by the end of this year, we may see more than a billion people involved in diaspora else; particularly India/Pakistan/China and there are some indications that dislocated people will stream north toward Siberia/Mongolia as a result.   You might ask "Why wasn't this in the Shape of Things to Come report?  Fair question:  not trying to hide anything...remember, though, we've been saying for the past 9-months (roughly, could be longer) that looking into the data from late 2009 onward for quake activity was pretty much pointless.  Gets to be too much.  Our accuracy is occasionally very good with isolated near-great quakes like our call on the May 2008 China event, but even if we had been translated into mandarin prior to the May 'wedding quake', would it have modified anyone's behavior or saved lives?  Likely not.   Add to that the problems we had sorting out the  'print through" on the Lacey Peterson trial/Redwood City (Sept. 2004) quake which preceded the Dec. 2004 tsunami? The  Peterson trial was interrupted by the Redwood City quake and some linguistics (courthouse emptied) were fulfilled, ;leavings us to scratch our heads and pondering "Damn...where's the land driven back to previous age, 200-thousand dead and all that language?"  Showed up - all right - about 120 days later. All of which is not supposed to make you feel better - or worse- about what's ahead in the second half of this year - our timing sucks when there gets to be overlap, print-through, and multiple images of the same thing.  Go look at how clear the Wedding Quake hit was before and after the event.  (Scroll down to the May 12, 2008 entry "Oh, THAT Quake...) 5-12-08 - 7.9 QUAKE - CHENGDU, CHINA - 8700+ DIE So whether we get a half dozen seven-oh's this year with huge loss of life or a series of 8's and larger is really outside the scope of this project.  Not much anyone can do about it, except have food, water, seeds and a mindset that will allow you to start over and prosper under the most adverse adverse conditions imaginable which by year-end maybe upwards 1.4-billion people will experience..   Best we hope for is to be wrong and it will be media buzz only - always hard to distinguish from physical/objective reality.  Our fishing grounds are internet fora, which oh, by the way, may go down in late summer as a global phenomena.  So yeah, in addition to working on his survival pod-boat, Cliff's looking at a satellite-based internet system.   Mine's been in for a couple of years seeing this period coming.  Oh, might want to mark down your home/residence's lat/lon by GPS and keep it handy for a couple of years.  If it starts changing outside the 2DRMS error of SA(ASM if you're in green), it'll be time to gear up.   Why, I bet hardly any of your friends noticed the proximity of Haiti's quake to the news stories about how the "Earth's magnetic north pole marching toward Siberia at 37 miles per year" did they     09:35 -- Occasional Linguistic Fill Notes   "Haitian Diaspora" With former president Clinton mentioning the 'Haitian diaspora" on an MSNBC interview last night, struck me as we should look at the use of 'diaspora' as it pops up related to Haiti.   Sure enough, got 93 'hits' on the phrase on Google's news search engine right now and no doubt that will continue to build.   We had discussed 200,000 - but we also had references to 220-million.  Still, decimal points are a real soft spot of the web bot processing.  Cliff points out there's a big linguistic difference between millions and thousands, but bear with me for a sec.  What IF the number turns out to be 200 or 220-thosuand and the directional language we were seeing was not 220-million north to Canada, but instead 220,000 north to the USA?   If I were a betting man I'd lay down a few cents betting that within a few days to weeks, we will hear about calls for the US to accept (200,000 to 220,000) Haitian refugees in the US on an emergency/humanitarian basis.   Our time machine is rickety and all, but may be offering hints on this one...and we're just too dense to get it all sorted right.  Quick!  Build more SQL predicates!   Sure builds the fill for the descriptors fit 'the land where people eat dirt' doesn't it? More on that as Cliff runs linguistic fill stats.  Bet me on the 'humanitarian' wave of refugees?  Timing fits with all the talk about violence in the streets and imagery of national collapse, too   FROM: http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm

Several readers asked if Tony Ring could run out the numbers and instead of just magnitudes, give us some idea of the total energy involved: "Hi The last time I looked at calculating mean energy it took me a lot of extra effort and the resulting data didn't show much, so I abandoned it. This time I took the time to create a method that can be run in minutes as part of my regular procedure. I used the formulae available here. Hold on to your hat when you look at the resulting chart. Last month we hit the highest average energy on record at close to 450,000 tons of TNT. That's more than double the previous highest ever. Sheesh! Interesting that your other reader was inspired to ask for this data just now.

1-5-09 - Over 500 quakes have been measured during the past week

  Posted by Jim Berkland on January 13, 1999

Those of you familiar with my Seismic Window Theory will not be  surprised by the swarm of quakes near Mt. Hood (max. 3.2M) because there  is a Volcanic Window between the standard Seismic Windows. They typical  Seismic Window opens the day before the New or Full Moon (whichever is  closest to perigee) and runs for eight days (typically to 6 days after syzygy, or S+6). In contrast the volcanic window is typically from day S+7 through day S+14.

Five of six major eruptions at Mt. St. Helens in 1980 occurred during a Volcanic Window, the one exception was the big blast of March 18, 1980, moments after the 5.2M quake under the peak.

Also the Salton Sea Trough quakes also have their predominant timing during the Volcanic Windows. This morning (day 13) SW of Brawley there was a sequence of quakes with the largest measuring 4.5M.

Some 20 years ago an anxious woman called me to tell me that she was petrified about quakes and she wanted to know what could she do to avoid them. I told her that she could maintain two residences and shuttle between the S.F. Bay Area (during Volcanic Windows) and the Salton Sea area (during Seismic Windows). I was not being totally facetious because history bears this out.

A week before the World Series 7.1M quake, Joan Gillespie of Campbell, CA had heard of my prediction and asked if she should take down her valuable collection of china and crystal. I told her "If you have ever seriously considered doing that, now is the time." When her china cabinet toppled over, her collection was safely wrapped and stored in boxes. She told a USA TODAY reporter, "I don't care if Jim Berkland ujses chicken entrails to predict quakes; he has been right too often to ignore, and I saved more than $6,000 worth of china and crystal, thanks to him."

Quakes can be predicted and ARE being predicted, and predictions can be useful.

Fear mainly arises from ignorance, and foreknowledge conquers ignorance.

1964: Powerful earthquake strikes Alaska

A devastating earthquake initially measuring 8.6 on the Richter scale struck Alaska today, flattening buildings and triggering a massive tidal wave.

"Half a dozen small Alaska coastal towns were nearly wiped out," reported The Daily Review on March 28, 1964. "The death and destruction extended as far south as Crescent City, Calif., more than 2,000 miles from the center of the quake – the heaviest ever to strike populated areas in the United States."

NOTE: The earthquake's magnitude was later revised to 9.2, making it the largest earthquake ever recorded in the U.S. and the fourth largest ever recorded. More than 100 deaths were attributed to the earthquake and ensuing tidal waves.

NEWS Seismic Hazard: Stateline Fault System of California/Nevada Is Major Component of Eastern California Shear Zone CALIFORNIA WIRED FOR EARTHQUAKES Discovery News Tuesday, July 10, 2001 http://dsc.discovery.com/news/reu/20010709/earthquake.html Scientists on Friday unveiled a $20 million system expected to revolutionize the study of earthquakes by measuring the earth's movements down to the millimeter. The Southern California Integrated Global Positioning System Network (SCIGN), a joint project by universities and federal agencies including the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA, uses satellites originally designed for military navigation to measure the constant movements of the jigsaw puzzle-like plates that make up the Earth's crust. The resulting measurements, which are accurate down to a millimeter, will enable better prediction of the timing of quakes, provide clues as to how they might be related and identify faults not currently linked to seismic activity, scientists said. The system will also contribute to earthquake hazard assessments in Southern California, the world's most seismically active area, scientists said at a press conference in suburban Los Angeles. "California is now wired like no place else in the U.S.," said John Filson of the USGS. "Never before has a network like SCIGN been built. It is unique in the world, and other countries are learning from SCIGN as they attempt to understand and cope with their earthquake risks." The system, a network of 250 satellite receivers placed alongside freeways, dams, and on private property, will complement existing technology already in place to measure seismic shaking. Such measurement, Filson said, can be compared to taking the "pulse of the earth," by monitoring the location and magnitude of earthquakes. The new program, he said, will "read the Earth's blood pressure" by measuring the tiny, inevitable, and steady buildup of strain produced by movements of the North American and Pacific plates upon which Los Angeles is built. "What we're measuring is all that goes into the build-up of an earthquake," said Mark Benthien, a spokesman for the Southern California Earthquake Center, the parent organization of SCIGN. USGS's Filson added: "Ultimately we are confident (SCIGN) will help lower the risk to society in Southern California of the earthquake threat." The project began 10 years ago and significantly expanded after the 6.7 magnitude 1994 Northridge quake that rocked Southern California, killing 57 people and causing more than $20 billion in damage. The entire project was finished on July 2, officials said. The technology is expected to provide continuous information for at least 50 years. Scientists said they eventually hope to expand the monitoring to cover North America from Alaska to the southern tip of Mexico. The program is also being used by officials from the California Department of Transportation to monitor the freeways, by the California Spacial Reference Center to survey property boundaries and infrastructure locations, and by water officials in Los Angeles to keep track of ground movements around thousands of miles of pipeline, officials said.
