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.

Yes, there is a tendency for EQs and eruptions to occur around full and new moons. At the full moon the moon’s gravity is pulling the earth one way while the sun’s gravity is pulling the earth the other way. At the new moon, both bodies are pulling at the earth from the same direction, with potentially greater effect. These events don’t necessarily occur exactly at the full or new moon, but often a few days later as the pull pressure builds up. I have been looking at this phenomenon for a while and major events do tend to occur in that time frame.

Actually full moon 3 days prior to the big quake is about right. It takes several days of the moon pulling opposite the sun to build up the stress. So watch out Sat. Sun and Mon. for some big action somewhere.

For a fleeting moment there, I thought you were mentioning Obama as a Coronal Hole. It made me laugh.
