No other reports yet.
Nahh, has nothing to do with disagreeing, and you already admitted to taking pharmaceutical psychotropics.
It means exactly as you see it, "take your meds".
Just who do you think your fooling with your double talk and evasion?
A deviant with mental problems (nihilist schizophrenic) such as yourself that contradicts himself by the hour, should instead admit to his problems or he can't get help.
Denial and obfuscation is no way to live, son....so take your meds.
heartbreaking, TexKat
Why dont you guys take your spat off-line. Please.
Can you feel the love? LOL
At the same time there was a distinct swarm along the San Andreas farther up north and clusters to the south. I don't like the way it looks.
It suggests to me (admittedly A COMPLETE LAYPERSON) that pressure is building along that east-west line. The next California big one will be somewhere between San Bernardino and Gorman on either the San Andreas OR the Garlock fault's.
When God created the Earth, it was perfect and there was no death. After sin entered the earth a whole series of curses were brought upon man. Death was one of them. Work was another. Pain and suffering also entered the earth.
I believe that in the old testament, God used disaster to punish people and told the people when and why he did it. In Luke 13:1-5 however, Jesus explains that those who die in natural disasters or things they can't control are not always more guilty of sin. Therefore punishment by disaster went the way of the animal sacrifice. (Punishment for sinful behavior still exist)
Oh, you're just a kook. God's a harmless little fuzzball. He doesn't do wrath.
/sarcasm
Hmmm ... I can think of two greater ones right off the bat - Armenia and Ukraine.
Once again, you're making up your facts.
Are they going to make the NYT's again. ROTFLOL ;)
Might want to update the headline...
This is now officially an 8.7 quake, not 8.5
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/Quakes/usweax.htm
This is the second time the magnitude estimate has been increased.
Interesting abstract from last year. Entire paper available here:
http://www.geology.cwu.edu/index.html?page=http%3A//www.geology.cwu.edu/facstaff/charlier/currentprojects/saf_carrizo.html
Variations of fault slip per event on the Carrizo Segment, San Andreas Fault...about 95% of displacement at the Carrizo Plain on the San Andreas fault northwest of Los Angeles occurs in big earthquakes. Excavations across the fault allow to collect for information about earthquakes of the past couple of millennia. We found that most of the motion along this stretch of the San Andreas fault occurs during rare but large earthquakes.
Of the six offsets discovered in the excavations, three and perhaps four were offsets of 7.5 to 8m, similar in size to the offset during the great earthquake of 1857. The third and fourth events, however, displacement was only 1.4 and 5.2m. Offsets of several meters are common when the rupture length is very long and the earthquake is very large. For example, the earthquake of 1857 had a rupture length of about 360 kilometers (225 miles), extending from near Parkfield to Cajon Pass. So, the five events that created offsets measuring between 5.2 and 8m likely represent earthquakes that had very long ruptures and magnitudes ranging from 7.5 to 8m. Taken together, these five major ruptures of this portion of the San Andreas fault account for 95% of all the displacement that occurred there over the past thousand years or so.
The practical significance of the study is that earthquakes along the San Andreas, though infrequent, tend to be very large. Years ago, paleoseismic research showed that along the section of the fault nearest Los Angeles the average period between large earthquakes is just 130 years. Ominously, 147 years have already passed since the latest large rupture, in 1857.

Thing about these stress-field predictions based on previous quakes is that they're totally incapable of specifying a time frame.
The exact same techniques have been used to forecast a quake under Istanbul based on the stress changes from the large 1999 Izmit earthquake...but it's been 5 years and no quake.
Let's see - the day after Christmas a 9.0+ quake in predominently moslem region
the day after Easter, an 8.7+ quake in the same region
Is SOMEONE trying to tell them something?
The term overdue gets thrown around a bit too much; there are a few cases where it does apply, though, such as the southern San Andreas.
Another place where it applies is Utah; a lot of paleoseismoligical digging has been going on and along almost the whole Wasatch front the recurrence pattern of quakes indicates the next big quake there should be about...now.
The quake today was centered right under, and did by far the most damage to, a predominantly Christian Island that includes 300,000+ Protestants.
Still think anyone is being "told" something?
That's why we have the kooks here to tell us which Christian holiday is going to trigger that third quake.
The Buddhists of Thailand, the Hindus of India, the many Christians on the Andaman island and the thousands of Christian tourists killed while on holday.
Was God sending them a message too?
Heh, I knew what I was trying to say but failed to say it. The best way to think of it is by remembering timezones. On this side of GMT, we are negative, whereas on the otherside, they are positive. (Chicago is -6 hours, whereas Tokyo is +9... so you GAIN a day by going from West to East... thanks for correcting me...
July 16th....
thats the prediction, give or take 90 days each way.
