Earthquake?

Question

Do you believe California is in for a large earthquake soon. Southern Californians, please answer. Do the recent earthquakes in Sumatra and Chatsworth scare you?

If you are not from SoCal please state your residency state.

Answer 1

The chances of an earthquake in LA itself is 100% due to a recent discovery of a fault. The same is true for other earthquakes in the region. The thing is time; and that's hard to predict. I think that you are due one within the next couple of years, but not for this year. Of course that is just an educated guess, which is the best we can do at this point.

Every region has its own problems, but disasters happen and you can't stop them. The best you can do is get ready for them. Luckily in my area, Texas, we can see the hurricanes coming, but when a tornado hit Fort Worth (I live between Fort Worth and Dallas) there was only a few seconds warning and it was pretty bad. I haven't personally lived through a disaster, but I have come close to one.

Earthquakes are scary because often they have no warning; sometimes you get a few shocks before the big one lets go, but that's not common. I wouldn't be scared now, what would scare me is the longer you go without an earthquake the worse the next one will be.

My mother and her sister live in Southern California and they are not scared about it; her sister has lived there for decades and so far has escaped any serious damage.

Watch for the following symptoms.It may help you.
Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami
.
1. Seismic gape: - The earthquake at a particular place may occur for every fixed gape of time. By knowing the past records of the quakes affected at that place may help to decide when the earthquake is next due.

2. Planet position.: - When the stress is accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary and the same time if the position of more than 2 planets comes in a straight line this may help to accelerate the earthquakes. There fore the full moon days and new moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes. Some time this method fails why? Think of a sick patient. New moon and full moon days are dangerous for only sick patents. These days will not affect the healthy people. The same way if there is no accumulated stress at the tectonic plate boundaries no need to worry about the planet positions.

3. Sun rays falling method: - If you observe the position of the sun rays falling on our wall at a particular time on all days it should form an angular infinity symbol. If there is any deviation in its path it means that there is some difference in height of the earth. That means some strain noticed at that place. Somebody claims that they can predict the place of epicenter by observing this. The laser beam measuring method of earth height from satellite also will help.

4. MDCB:- Chinese scientist claims that they can predict up to 60 % accuracy by sensing electro magnetic rays.

5. Cloud forming: - Few hours to a few days before the occurrence of earthquakes a cloud reader claims that he has noticed a peculiar mosaic type of formation .We may also notice some lightening in the sky.

6. By sound :- A professor from Ajmeer University claims that he was able to hear a low frequency noise under 125 meter depth in a bore well. The same thing was reported by one Mr. Nair that he heard some roaring noise under the earth one week before the occurrence of earthquake in Gujarat.

7. By frequency of waves :- Mr Richter Allen of Berkley University claims that he can decide the magnitude of earthquake just 4 seconds after observing the frequency of the primary wave. Present method needs the full seismographic picture to find the real magnitude that too from as many places as possible to have fairly accurate results. His claim has got some truth because when there is a slip of bigger tectonic plate the frequency of quake will be less. If a small tectonic plate slips the frequency of the waves will be more.
8. There are several changes in nature and in the behaviors of animals and birds can be observed before an earthquake and Tsunami. I wrote several articles on these subjects. The water level in well may change. Stay away from beaches if you sense earthquake waves. The Tsunami may attack long after the shaking is stopped.

yes there will be an earthquake soon, i leave CA and i have felt that earthquake has happened in here like in this few weeks but it wasn't too long just 5 seconds but i've heard it will continue untill that it will be long and dangerouse....
