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.

Good instruction!
Comets! Yea that’s it. Where is Haley these days?
What time?
So sorry but the earthquake will have to reschedule, this weekend is not convenient, I ain’t givin up the Grandson’s football game for some stinkin quake!
About forty five years ago all the astrologers around the world were predicting massive earthquakes as all the planets were lining up and the pull of gravity would destroy us! The world was doomed!
Not so much as a trembler that day.
“Alex, what is Martial law and suspended elections.”

“What Happens when the big one hits?”
Anal probes or not I am set with my pennies.
Well on the one hand I’m thinking if it’s curtains on Friday why file my income taxes? On the other hand I would have liked to see who would win the next World Series. In any event it’s been nice knowing you all. Well, bye.

Your sarcasm detector needs calibration, or I need to label it better...
Five something in the AM would be consistent with the prior episodes.
I wasn’t being sarcastic.
