Scientist warns MEGA EARTHQUAKE threatening millions will hit USA as early as FRIDAY

Jim Berkland, a former US Geological Survey scientist, who once famously predicted the Loma Prieta quake, said mega quakes usually strike at a new moon or full moon because of the gravitation effect on the Earth…and the next full moon is on FRIDAY.

The maverick, now retired, scientist spoke out after eight powerful earthquakes struck across south Asia and the pacific in the past 80 hours, claiming hundreds of lives in Japan and Ecuador.

Mr Berkland predicted on October 13, 1989, an earthquake of magnitude 3.5 to 6.0 would strike San Francisco within the next week.

Four days later on October 17 a magnitude 6.9 quake hit Loma Prieta in northern California.

He now says 20 of the world’s last 25 mega quakes have happened during new or full moons.

So you buy popcorn and have a good time when a natural disaster strikes?

We live on the west coast and have been through many quakes. Most the time they are mild enough that you don’t realize what is going on until about the time it is over. The last one... we had enough time to get up and get under a door jam where the wall is stronger and it actually cracked our chimney.

“Mr Berkland predicted on October 13, 1989”

So he got lucky once, 27 years ago and has been wrong ever since.

This is the kind of article they run when they’ve got extra time on their hands.

Well, we have seen a political earthquake this morning, thanks to The Donald...does that count? Could one imply that Trump becomes loose with his tongue when there's a new moon? lol

Fifty miles isn’t far for effects of an earthquake. The whole bay area was devastated.

Good. I was planning on spreading mulch around this weekend. I’ll just leave it all in a big pile and let the mega-quake do the work.

Just a dumbass redneck, but here I thought that the Full Moon was due to the relative postioning of the Sun, Earth and Moon i.e. sunlight reflection, NOT how close the moon was to earth. Reflected light increases gravity??

This guy’s stuff sound like that Planet X tinfoil hat BS.

So, the amount of visible sunshine on the moon has something to do with great plate movements here?

That’s some fearful strong sunshine.

As usual, women, gays, minorities, and bathroom crashers will be hardest hit!

as early as FRIDAY

Implying that a quake can hit as early as Friday or as late as, well, never.

What I'd like to see are actual percentages, backed up by data.

I read in the Enquire that the aliens were stealing our pennies for the copper. According to a documentary I watched called Men in Black that is a reputable publication for alien info.

That got me to thinking I should carry pennies with me at all times. Then if I suspect a alien rectal probe I can throw the pennies and run like hell. The distraction might buy me enough time to get away.

And why do you think Canada got rid of pennies. Do they know something we dont about aliens?
