Author Says Earthquakes Are Predictable
By: Andrew Limberg May 29, 2014 12:19 PM

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – They are pretty rare in our area, but every few years the Pittsburgh area will feel an earthquake that will shake the ground enough to give us a scare. Mainstream science says that earthquakes cannot be predicted, but David Nabhan author of “Earthquake Prediction: Answers in Plain Slight” says otherwise.

Nabhan is a former teacher in California and now lives in Pittsburgh. He became interested in earthquakes while he was the earthquake preparedness coordinator for the school he worked at. He says he noticed every earthquake happened at dusk or dawn.

“I realized this sort of conscience doesn’t happen in science. These dawn and dusk quakes during new and full moons are the paradigm on the west coast,” he said. “All six great quakes that have struck in Los Angeles that have killed people since the 30s, all of them, dawn or dusk [quakes].

How can earthquakes be predicted? Nabhan says that it is the, “conjoined lunar and solar gravitational tides,” are what cause them.

“Just imagine the muscle required to move our oceans around every day. Our fractured fault lines are not immune to this [power],” he said.

Nabhan says that there has never been a new idea in science that wasn’t accepted without a fight.

So, when will the next big earthquakes happen?

Nabhan says July 12 and Sept. 9, between 4:45 to 7:55 a.m. and/or p.m.

Oh heck, if they end up predicting them like they do the weather, we'll still be surprised.

if cascadia goes in our lifetime it will be a big big big deal. if it does the full 750 mile fault with 25+ foot upthrusts like the last time it will alter everything in the PNW and send killer tsunamis around the ring of fire.

actually this will be true even if we aren't around to enjoy it...

I did a Boeing job one time where they showed me the data from a $5million earthquake study they commissioned. They wanted to know how to brace their buildings past a 7.5 and into the 8.5 to 9.5 predicted for the Cascadia subduction quake.

The conclusion? Can't be done. Anything much passed the 7.5 range is just too much.

Next July and September huh? Well we'll see won't we. Interesting.

Even if that would gain more credence with the "Scientific Community", I don't see that the people who truly want to believe that their pet horrible human activity causing everything bad in the world would accept it.
