Updated: Quake Predicted for California This Saturday!

Update:  Jim Berkland was on San Francisco local radio station KSFO 560 AM this morning with Brian Sussman and elaborated on his prediction.  The Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, etc.) would get a 4.5 shaker, while Southern California would get a 6.0 quake.  He thought the larger quake would happen near where the massive school of fish ran aground in Redondo Beach, California.

He has had many reports of animals behaving strangely and mentioned that one of his methods is to track the number of missing pet classified ads in the local paper.  Cats in particular go missing right before earthquakes, the theory being their sense of direction is affected by a change in the magnetic field.  Apparently, the theory works.

Jim Berkland has a track record of predicting earthquakes like the 1989 Loma Prieta shaker in San Francisco for the World Series.  Here's a photo from the Gilroy paper one day in advance making his prediction:



Now, according to Berkland, we're due for another one.  How does he know?  The gravitational pull of the moon is at it's strongest in many years, with the "Super Moon", caused by the closest approach of the moon.  Also, there have been fish in massive numbers washing up on the beaches of California, caused by disruptions in the magnetic field of the earth.



This is a good time to get prepared, if you are in California.  Stock up on food, water and fuel for generators (if you have one).  Even if the earthquake doesn't come to pass, being prepared is always a good idea.
