JIM BERKLAND, GEOLOGIST: The month of October, March, and April are the three most devastating earthquakes in terms of damage in the San Francisco Bay Area in history. And we are having on the 19th of this month not only the full moon, but within an hour the closest approach of the moon to the earth until the year 2016. The next day is the equinoctial tides. So you're bringing together three of the maximum tide raising forces. We know about the ocean tides. But there is also an Earth tide. And there is a tide in the ground water. All of these help to release sudden, built up strain, and cause earthquakes.
CAVUTO: But that would seem to imply that we could be looking at a very imminent event in the United States within the next week or two? Is that right?
BERKLAND: Yes. My -- what I call a seismic window, this top seismic window in years is developing between the 19th and 26th of this month. And this was 7.0 monster and it says geologist had warned about it. And a week earlier, the they were talking about the tides, not to worry about the really tides coming up. I think there is worry here too.

you really cant be prepared going across the Bay Bridge. That thing terrifies you if you stop to think about it. They dont even know, or wont say, how many people went off that thing in the last earthquake.
Jim Berkland has never, ever, gotten an earthquake prediction right. You'd be far better off asking him when and where an earthquake was going to happen, and going there at the appointed time, as you'll likely be in the safest place on earth. I can't count the number of studies that have torn apart the whole tidal theories for earthquakes, and seriously, who the heck on the planet places a newspaper ad when their cat disappears?
He's a quack that gave up tracking his own results, as he couldn't take dishing out that much bull each month.
we were at the Science museum in Seattle many yrs ago and were watching a mouse maze with several dozen little white mice....they were all going the same way on the maze track and suddenly, instantly switched and started going the other way...very odd.....until later that day we heard that at that same time there was a small earthquake that shock parts of Puget Sound......animals can be predictors of natural events and they certainly react quicker than humans to slight variations...
Exactly. Couldn't have put it much better.
my dtr and her husband live about a mile from the Willamette and about 5 miles from the Columbia....so tonight I’ll lay in bed and worry...

I live on a farm with animals all around me and they do know when something is happening. Dogs and other animals feel and hear things we can’t, like vibrations and sounds too low for us to pick up. They seem to instinctivly know what is dangerous.
I believe they communicate with each other. A long time ago, I noticed that there are patterns to our dogs barking; sort of like a language. Their barking is in numeric patterns and is not just random or constant barking (unless stressed). They have their own language. - We have lots of coyotes here, and our dogs “talk” with them, even with the “coyote howling” sort of language that is totally different from the dogs’ usual barking sounds. (The dogs are still connected to the coyotes, I suppose.)
I had a dream of dodging falling debris in a city the day before the Japan earthquake, I was also ironically naked, I had grabbed a piece of visqueen to wrap around myself, as I was making detours around structures I felt something approaching, something heavy and unstoppable, this much I remember as we all know we usually cannot remember the dreams much but in this case I think the last thing I saw was a mountain of debris coming at me.
I’m not making this up and I posted this same comment before, but that same day the Japan earthquake happened my little army of cats all were bouncing off the walls, I could not keep them satisfied, they were looking out the window, looking at me, when in the bathroom they were crowding each other to be at my feet, when I opened the front door they would just sit there and stare outside.
And I am in Alaska where we get earthquakes on a daily basis.
Could have been a Jean Dixon moment.
I think it's easy to calculate the forces, hard to predict the consequences.
I had a similar experience as you. I'm in S.E. TN and tornadoes are our thing. I was five months pregnant back in 1974 when tornadoes hit TN and was at home taking a nap. Well, I was at my parent's-in-law’s. I was dreaming about a tornado hitting the neighborhood. Funny thing was that when I laid down for my nap the sun was shining. Anyway, in my dream I went to the basement and got under the stairs.
I woke up to find everything dark and storming. I saw something fly by the window and when I started to the kitchen I heard an awful noise that sounded like a train. I looked out the kitchen window in time to see the house behind ours explode. I immediately did what I did in my dream. I went to the basement and got under the stairs. I huddled down there for what seemed like forever and watched the two story colonial brick literally rock back and forth. It looked like the walls were breathing.
Was the dream a warning? Did it prepare me for what was coming? Yep. I feel to this day that the dream is what kept me from panicking and possibly hurting myself and my baby.

He might be correct. Another earthquake guru I saw on TV yesterday pointed out that, within the "ring of fire", there have been violent earthquakes during the past year in Chili, New Zealand, and Japan. Our West Coast is on the "ring" but has not had one. Is it due?

Ahhh, I knew if I kept scrolling through I’d find one.
Thank you for restoring my faith.

My Wife is the same way.
On the morning of the Japan quake, she awoke me and I immediently knew she was very upset. She said this was just the beginning.
We’ve been in *prepare* mode ever since.
A similar guy predicted Christchurch, irrc.
There is no corelation between tides and earthquakes. At first you might think that there is more pressure, but their isn’t. The water is only higher because part of the gravitational pull is being nullified. On a continent the maximum pressure would be at “low tide” not high.
