"THE BIG ONE" is upon us!!
Upon feeling the earthquake in Santa Ana 13 miles from my work I begin to realize that the "BIG ONE" is upon us. It started when I told my co-worker yesterday to watch out for an earthquake because of the "earthquake weather been having". She did not believe me but I hate to say this but " I WAS RIGHT!" Not to scare anyone but just to be on the safe side I would like to warn everyone that the BIG ONE is coming. This is not a hoax or a prank but rather an observation. With the weird weather and constant shaking of the earth right along the PACIFIC PLATE I recently predicted two earthquakes. Are they just coincidence? You be the judge. To remind you this is just my careful observation.
The earthquakes listed below are cities which lies on the edge of the PACIFIC PLATE which constantly rubs with surrounding Plates like the NORTH AMERICAN PLATE. (ex. San Andreas Fault) and the Philippine, Nazca and SOUTH AMERICAN PLATE.
It is listed from the the latest to the most recent.
Magnitude 4.8 2007/08/26 20:48:07 MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES
Magnitude 4.5 2007/08/27 03:21:21 VOLCANO ISLANDS, JAPAN REGION
Magnitude 4.6 2007/08/27 13:46:05 RYUKYU ISLANDS, JAPAN
Magnitude 4.1 2007/08/28 13:52:24 GULF OF CALIFORNIA
Magnitude 4.7 2007/08/29 08:19:50 CENTRAL PERU
Magnitude 5.1 2007/08/30 12:54:32 CHIAPAS, MEXICO
Magnitude 4.5 2007/08/30 16:42:06 PHILIPPINE ISLANDS REGION
Magnitude 3.0 2007/08/31 21:04:24 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Magnitude 6.3 2007/09/01 19:14:22 GULF OF CALIFORNIA
Magnitude 4.3 2007/09/02 17:06:12 GULF OF CALIFORNIA
Magnitude 4.7 2007/09/02 17:29:14 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Magnitude 2.5 2007/09/02 17:31:15 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
If you map these locations(not that you have time to do so) You can see that these recent activities is making a complete circle around the edges of the PACIFIC PLATE. So in my theory we are going to experience the next BIG ONE in only a matter of weeks or months. It's never too early to prepare. Again these are just observations and I'm not trying to scare anyone but rather make everyone aware of the situation. God Bless.

Well, hopefully the "Big One" won't come until I'm safely moved from Seattle to Wisconsin, lol.
I hate earthquakes. Well, I think the non-damaging and life threatening ones are awesome but I've been living in fear of this "Big One" for 30+ years now, lol.

The "big one" has been coming for years. After the San Francisco earthquake ruptured 300 miles of the northern region of the San Andreas Fault in 1906, it's just been a matter of time until the rest of the fault (with displaced stress from the 1906 earthquake) on our end of California ruptures.
It stinks, but it's no surprise. Anyone in California living in areas around an active fault zone, especially one as active as the San Andreas, should expect earthquakes to happen and know how to prepare for them.
If you don't know, then educate yourselves on earthquake safety. It may seem silly now, but it won't when you're stuck in your house for days after "the big one" without food to eat or clean water.[/url]

But we have been warned about "The Big One" ever since I can remember. Supposedly we're due.
And there are faults all over the place up here, here's just three...
There are many faults in the Pacific Northwest that can produce damaging earthquakes, including hard-to-identify faults that exist entirely underground and have not been identified at the earth's surface. At the same time, some mapped faults have been located that have not generated earthquakes in recent geologic time. New faults continue to be discovered as more field observations and earthquake data are collected.
There are three different sources for damaging earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest. The first of these is the "Cascadia Subduction Zone", a 1000 km long thrust fault which is the convergent boundary between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates and is the most extensive fault in the Pacific Northwest area. It surfaces about 50 miles offshore along the coasts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and northern California. No historic earthquakes have been directly recorded from this source zone. According to recent research, an earthquake estimated to be as large as 8.0 to 9.0 occurred in this zone in January of 1700.
The second source for damaging earthquakes is the Benioff Zone. This zone is the continuation of the extensive faulting that results as the subducting plate is forced into the upper mantle. The Benioff Zone can probably produce earthquakes with magnitudes as large as 7.5. Benioff Zone earthquakes are deeper than 30km.
The third source consists of shallow crustal earthquake activity (depths of 0 to 20 km) within the North American continental plate where faulting is extensive. Past earthquakes have revealed many shallow fault structures, including the Western Rainier Seismic Zone and the Mt. St. Helens Seismic Zone. Our best known crustal fault, the Seattle Fault, runs east-west through Seattle from Issaquah to Bremerton. This fault generated a very large earthquake approximately 1100 years ago. Other crustal faults have been located in the Puget Basin region. Click Here for a map of major faults located in the Puget Basin.

This is not news and you are not psychic. Geologists ALL agree that it is coming very soon... Which is why we have been feverously retrofitting every bridge, building, nook, and cranny, although not fast enough.
FYI, weather patterns have nothing to do with geotecnic movements.
I'll agree though that the recent seismic activity is concerning. However, lots of little ones are less distressing to me than years of silence. At least we know that some of the pressure is being released.
