December 12 will be a full moon day with extremely strong tides because the latitude of the moon will be at its monthly maximum which is about 27 degree and the latitude of the sun is close to its yearly maximum. Remember,when the M8.7 earthquake and tsunami happened on December 26,2006,the positions of the sun and the moon have the same combination.
In addition the moon will be near its closest point to earth because the perigee should be around December 11.
The combination of the three factors will swing the tides to a maximum extent north and south, with almost strongest force, and inevitably will trigger some big quakes. The question is, where?

The full moon Dec. 12 will be at its closest (356,556 kilometers, or 221,554 miles) to Earth since 1993, and the full moon won't be this close again until 2016

Thanks - I’ll avoid the I90 and SR520 bridges Friday!
My thoughts are “batten down the hatches.” Been through a couple of big ones and I’m a lot more prepared than before. Of course, I will refuse to leave the house on that day. But that’s nothing new.
One was posted here that hit April 27th, 2008

Well the 520 is a floater so unless the quake kicks up a tsunami you should be safe ...
Thanks! Been reading that as well.....
Being in California is always a concern, although the New Madrid Fault is a pretty scarry one for all the Mid-Western Folks!
Be safe!
Floater, Tsunami Hmmm
Surfs up!
Liberals on the left coast reacting to SCOTUS deciding to hear the case against Obama?
Possible, but locating it in such a narrow region would be a stretch.
True..Unless it did affect Mt Rainier, St Helen’s or Yellowstone at it’s worst....
I would say anything right on the Ring of Fire would produce the devastation as the 2004 Indonesian earthquake
new madrid affects my area.
Seattle is due, but saying this full moon will be the date would require other evidence. You need the testimony of the animals. Birds neglect the feeder, dogs/cats run away, like that.
GREAT! Right in the middle of an arctic cold blast. You guys have my two noids acting up.
Well I pray you will be safe...
In the last few days..

New Madrid affects everyones area.
In Western Kentucky- mentioned how on Thanksgiving day, they saw something they had never seen before...
Buzzards in flocks were leaving the area along with black birds.
Another person has mentioned how they have been seeing some weird things happening in the sky over Eastern Arkansas lately.
I am in California..have a cat but he hasn’t been doing anything unusual, just his primadonna self wanting to be fed and petted at his demand.
Thanks for posting this. I suggested that a contract should be opened on Intrade. If they have such a contract and you turn out to be right, you could make money at it. That makes it doubly fascinating.
