Earthquake Warning for Northern California and Oregon
beforeitsnews.com/story/3522/Earthquake_Warning_for_Northern_California_and_Oregon.html
SAN FRANCISCO -- Following the recent significant earthquake off Eureka, California last week, there is a moderately higher probability of a much stronger quake along the San Andreas fault between San Francisco and Oregon in the next two weeks. According to Jack Coles, an earthquake forecaster, the recent series of quakes, including the 6.5 shaker off the Coast are possibly fore-shocks of something bigger yet to come.
It's always a good idea to be prepared in earthquake country -- you should keep a few weeks supply of canned food and water on hand, plus sleeping bags, clothing and tents if you need to sleep outside during any aftershocks.
Also, be sure to pay close attention to your pets and the wild animals in your surroundings. They most definitely have a sense of the vibrations that arrive before the shock waves of a quake hit. One other thing of interest -- the famous sea lions of Pier 39 have left the Bay for Oregon. All 500 of them up and left during the last week of November and they are now residing at the Sea Lion Caves, near Florence, Oregon
One idea why they left is their main food, anchovies have all disappeared from the Bay Area. This is a similar phenomenon to what happened in Indonesia's Aceh region right before the huge tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands -- many fisherman complained that the fishing had become bad because the fish disappeared.

Below is a post by Jack Coles who is quoted on Jim Berklands (The E-quake Geologist) Web Site in regards to the quakes Cali is now experiencing. Jack Coles uses scientific measuring devices to predict quakes. He is very accurate. As you can see below, he believes that these quakes and in particuliar the 6.5 off the Coast are possibly fore-shocks.
Jack Coles - 01 - 10 - 2010 Forecast - **3 FORECASTS
« on: Today at 01:51:02 PM »
Just spoke with Jack. His signal was off on the direction re Eastern California, although that forecast for Eastern California/Nevada/Idaho is still in effect. Jack will be recalibrating instrumentation.
He is VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PATTERN THAT IS OCCURRING.
This is the secondary window for this month using Jim Berkland's forecast. He has been conferring with Jim regarding the formula Jim uses.
The current California quakes hit at 36% probability. They are not acting llike main events, but more like foreshocks.
Jack is looking at date window of 14th/15th - 24th, January 2010 with a 44% chance (because of those quakes) of a quake 1 to 1 1/2 times larger. He is receiving small to moderate signals for a quake up/down the California coast. He is watching January 11th for further Main Signals.
TO SUMMARIZE:
1. THERE IS A 36%+ PROBABLILITY FOR A LARGER QUAKE TO OCCUR OFF-DATE.
2. THE CURRENT QUAKES ARE ACTING LIKE FORESHOCKS, NOT MAIN EVENTS.
3. STILL WATCHING THE DATES OF JANUARY 14TH AND 15TH (NEW MOON) FOR A QUAKE 1 TO 1 1/2 TIMES GREATER THAN THE OFFSHORE EUREKA QUAKE. POSSIBLE DATES ALSO: JANUARY 13TH, 18TH, 25TH & 26TH, 2010
The lunar calendar is important to follow because the gravitational pull of the moon and tides have been shown to be a possible factor in the cause of earthquakes. Whether or not this prediction comes true, you should have your family prepared with food and water, as well as go through an earthquake drill to pre-arrange meeting spots for school children and also the most efficient ways to get out of your home if you are sleeping or inside.
