In two weeks...

Yes, this too, and thunder and lightening.

Depends on source location. For the March tsunami, those of us on the West Coast who watched the 11 pm news had something over 8 hours warning.

Knowing it was coming, I still slept quite well, until about five hours later when an East Coast friend got a scrambled version from a "BREAKING NEWS ALERT!!!" and phoned us in a panic to wake us up to tell us we had to flee to high ground.

We already live on high ground. And knew from the evening reports that it still had hours to go before reaching our shores. But I looked up the updated reports anyway before returning to bed.

A subduction zone quake on our own coast, where we feel the shaking ourselves, is a different matter with far less warning. If I'm visiting the lowlands, then I will immediately flee.

 

Southern CA gets lots of warm spells, and a fair number of earthquakes. They are bound to coincide sometimes.

 

Why has this not been posted yet?!

Again, the moon has ZERO effect on earthquakes. However, predicting that there will be an earthquake in South America is a pretty good bet. It's a big place with a lot of tectonic activity. Alaska also, though I'm under the impression that S.A. has more.

 

I was just wondering how big a tsunami it would have to be to threaten Sacramento...

Frankly, I think an earthquake that takes out a levee along the American or Sacramento rivers is more likely...

 

Is that because historically there's a tire question every two weeks, or do you have inside information?

 

This site is about eight years old (actually a little less, but close enough). 8*52=416. Googling "Best tires" on this site brings up over 500 hits (one hit=one page in a thread). Which means, on the average, it's brought up MORE than once a week.

 

Well there was a huge earthquake close to Mexicali/Calexico not long ago. I felt it. Please look into it.

 

That's much too generous a timespan. Not even three days have elapsed since the OP and already a quake rattled the world strongly enough to make the papers ...

And it's in one of your targeted regions:

Not quite to your strength but making the papers elevates it beyond "background noise".

Before all the pages of the two weeks have moved from the desk calendar to the dust bin this quake will get company.

And the wind will blow.

And rain will fall.

 

... and people will keep making silly predictions.

 

Jr. we got less than a week will we be safe here in the islands?
