Upsurge in big earthquakes predicted for 2018 as Earth rotation slows

Looking forward to it. I was in Santa Clara when the Loma Prieta quake hit. It was better than an E-ticket ride. There were ripples flowing across concrete floors, and the quake went on and on and on. But then it ended.

That’s why I prefer quakes to tornadoes, hurricanes and their ilk. Quakes come fast, go away fast.

Who is saying he has an 80% rate?

I am. I listen to his weekly forecast and then check them off. He misses if he is over 200 miles off or a magnitude off. Check for yourself, it’s not hard. I’ve read several comments from people that have been watching him much longer than me that put his accuracy at a higher percentage with much better research than me.

Maybe we could have people all run in the same direction to speed up the rotation.

if we had the rotors turned, would the reduction in vibration help?

And I am thinking that ol’ Rog n Becky got some rotation of there own goin’ on.
