Some piezo electric activity is likely a source of electrical phenomena as well.
Wild Science....
There is apparently a phenomenon that happens right before and perhaps during an earthquake that is very similar to the auroras in the northern and southern hemispheres. This phenomenon, somewhat regarded as make-believe until recent history, is referred to as earthquake light. Apparently right before and during an earthquake (or perhaps more accurately, places of tectonic stress, seismic activity, or volcanic eruptions), aurora-esque luminous activity in the sky has been reported all over the world.

I’m an earthquake “junkie”. This is interesting to me. Thanks for the ping.
Nice post.
Wow when we get a strange heat wave her (So. California) we say earthquake weather it might hold true
;’)
Thanks Fred Nerks!
“Earthquake weather” is apparently not a myth.
Now I feel better.
I will never forget the weather the afternoon of October 17, 1989.
Now now . . .
this pseudo science from alternative sources pretending to be MSM pontificators just can’t have any validity whatsoever.
IF it’s not 100% purrrree deeeeee conventional MSM blather,
it just has to be 100% false pseudo-pretend science from them wild story idiots.
Sure wouldn’t want the famous blam to fall into THAT crack in the earth [truly on that score]!
/s
We have a winner.
The California quake during the World Series?
This would be great if true. Maybe they could come up with some way to predict earthquakes from this.
Better safe than sorry.
I'd rather have the false alarms than get caught flatfooted.
So...do you report that (for example) "San Francisco will be hit by an 8.5 earthquake in three hours"?
"Interesting yes. Quite a bit of prediction lore out here. I had not heard of this Lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere Coupling mechanism. It seems plausible. Although realize that predicting earthquakes is like curing cancer or the common cold, there are so many variations that it's essentially impossible to have a single solution. But you have to start somewhere. In this case, that is implying the release of radioactive gas, there needs to be a surface based detection to confirm that specific mechanism.
Also the proposed anomaly metrics in the paper needs to be accompanied by independent review for null hypothesis. The authors claim a 2-sigma anomaly but that is meaningless without that. But in principle since the authors seem to be using standard anomaly detection methods, if there is a nut in there, they might just find it. Doesn't look crackpot. If they can confirm any mechanism like this that would be a fantastic discovery. But yes it would still be some time before we could be sure of it's utility, eg not many false positives."
"On false positives, guy at Caltech here has story of predicting earthquake and telling disaster chief in San Fran, where it was predicted. Does chief now tell mayor to evacuate the city, or ignore it, or just happen to take the day off and drive his family for an out of town excursion?"
Thanks.
Interesting.
THANKS TONS, BLAM.
I guess Quix ain’t so dumb, after all.
THANKS MUCH for the ping.
Looks like some folks have already put some pieces together that the article came right up to the line of, but didn’t mention.
