Now, when he made the original prediction, did he predict it would happen 7/14/09 in PDT, or UDT, or is it whatever timezone he is in. I mean, it could make a difference.

Either way, time is running out.

Please be mindful that he said it could be today or tommorow 14 or 15th. He believes its more likely today. I had a strange premonition about the 15th myself.

I believe that this person if he really did fast 17 days and prayed to God about this, that this may be a genuine event. I will pray also as should all of you for those in LA, for their sake.

But if it does not come to pass today, I just want to give this guy a fair shake and say he did say either today or tommorow.

I myself have some "feelings" for something unusual about tommorow the 15th.

We will have to wait and see and wait on God. Only He can validate this man's prediction as prophesy or fancy.

Tremors On Southern San Andreas Fault May Mean Increased Earthquake Risk

ScienceDaily (July 13, 2009) — Increases in mysterious underground tremors observed in several active earthquake fault zones around the world could signal a build-up of stress at locked segments of the faults and presumably an increased likelihood of a major quake, according to a new University of California, Berkeley, study.


They found that after the 6.5-magnitude San Simeon quake in 2003 and the 6.0-magnitude Parkfield quake in 2004, underground stress increased at the end of a locked segment of the San Andreas Fault near Cholame, Calif., at the same time as tremors became more frequent. The tremors have continued to this day at a rate significantly higher than the rate before the two quakes.

The researchers conclude that the increased rate of tremors may indicate that stress is accumulating more rapidly than in the past along this segment of the San Andreas Fault, which is at risk of breaking like it did in 1857 to produce the great 7.8 magnitude Fort Tejon earthquake. Strong quakes have also occurred just to the northwest along the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas about every 20 to 30 years.

"We've shown that earthquakes can stimulate tremors next to a locked zone, but we don't yet have evidence that this tells us anything about future quakes," Nadeau said. "But if earthquakes trigger tremors, the pressure that stimulates tremors may also stimulate earthquakes."

While earthquakes are brief events originating, typically, no deeper than 15 kilometers (10 miles) underground in California, tremors are an ongoing, low-level rumbling from perhaps 15 to 30 kilometers (10-20 miles) below the surface. They are common near volcanoes as a result of underground fluid movement, but were a surprise when discovered in 2002 at a subduction zone in Japan, a region where a piece of ocean floor is sliding under a continent.

Tremors were subsequently detected at the Cascadia subduction zone in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, where several Pacific Ocean plates dive under the North American continental plate. In 2005, Nadeau identified mysterious "noise" detected by the Parkfield borehole seismometers as tremor activity, and has focused on them ever since. Unlike the Japanese and Cascadia tremor sites, however, the Parkfield area is a strike/slip fault, where the Pacific plate is moving horizontally against the North American plate.

"The Parkfield tremors are smaller versions of the Cascadia and Japanese tremors," Nadeau said. "Most last between three and 21 minutes, while some Cascadia tremors go on for days."

Because in nearly all known instances the tremors originate from the edge of a locked zone - a segment of a fault that hasn't moved in years and is at high risk of a major earthquake - seismologists have thought that increases in their activity may forewarn of stress build-up just before an earthquake.

The new report strengthens that association, Nadeau said.

For the new study, Nadeau and Guilhem pinpointed the location of nearly 2,200 tremors recorded between 2001 and 2009 by borehole seismometers implanted along the San Andreas Fault as part of UC Berkeley's High-Resolution Seismic Network. During this period, two nearby earthquakes occurred: one in San Simeon, 60 kilometers from Parkfield, on Dec. 22, 2003, and one in Parkfield on the San Andreas Fault on Sept. 28, 2004.

Before the San Simeon quake, tremor activity was low beneath the Parkfield and Cholame segments of the San Andreas Fault, but it doubled in frequency afterward and was six times more frequent after the Parkfield quake. Most of the activity occurred along a 25-kilometer (16-mile) segment of the San Andreas Fault south of Parkfield, around the town of Cholame. Fewer than 10 percent of the tremors occurred at an equal distance above Parkfield, near Monarch Peak. While Cholame is at the northern end of a long-locked and hazardous segment of the San Andreas Fault, Monarch Peak is not. However, Nadeau noted, Monarch Peak is an area of relative complexity on the San Andreas Fault and also ruptured in 1857 in the Fort Tejon 7.8 earthquake.

The tremor activity remains about twice as high today as before the San Simeon quake, while periodic peaks of activity have emerged that started to repeat about every 50 days and are now repeating about every 100-110 days.

"What's surprising is that the activity has not gone down to its old level," Nadeau said. The continued activity is worrisome because of the history of major quakes along this segment of the fault, and the long-ago Fort Tejon quake, which ruptured southward from Monarch Peak along 350 kilometers (220 miles) of the San Andreas Fault.

A flurry of pre-tremors was detected a few days before the Parkfield quake, which makes Nadeau hopeful of seeing similar tremors preceding future quakes.

He noted that the source of tremors is still somewhat of a mystery. Some scientists think fluids moving underground generate the tremors, just as movement of underground magma, water and gas causes volcanic tremors. Nadeau leans more toward an alternative theory, that non-volcanic tremors are generated in a deep region of hot soft rock, somewhat like Silly Putty, that, except for a few hard rocks embedded like peanut brittle, normally flows without generating earthquakes. The fracturing of the brittle inclusions, however, may be generating swarms of many small quakes that combine into a faint rumble.

"If tremors are composed of a lot of little earthquakes, each should have a primary and secondary wave just like large quakes," but they would overlap and produce a rumble, said Guilhem.

The stimulation of tremors by shear (tearing) stress rather than by compressional (opening and closing) stress is more consistent with deformation in the fault zone than with underground fluid movement, Nadeau said. The researchers' mapping of the underground tremors also shows that the tremors are not restricted to the plane of the fault, suggesting that faults spread out as they dive into the deeper crust.

Whatever their cause, tremors "are not relieving a lot of stress or making the fault less hazardous, they just indicate a changes in stress next to locked faults," said Nadeau.

Seismologists around the world are searching for tremors along other fault systems, Guilhem noted, although tremors can be hard to detect because of noise from oceans as well as from civilization. Brief tremor activity has been observed on a few faults, triggered by huge quakes far away, and these may be areas to focus on. Tremors were triggered on Northern California's Calaveras Fault by Alaska's Denali quake of 2002, Nadeau said.

The work is supported by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Science Foundation.

It doesn't work that way. For example, a 4.1 is ten times more powerful than a 4.0., so therefore a 4.2 is 100 times more powerful than a 4.0. As you go up the richter scale, the level of kinetic energy increases exponentially. Those three earthquakes, do not equal a 9.5.

if this EQ does not come to pass, the LORD says

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him

If the thing fails to come to pass EVEN ONCE, the prophet is a lying false prophet. (Sorry Mike) but that is what the bible says. The word of the Lord does not fail so anything someone says they are saying in the Lord's name or is from the Lord MUST come true 100% of the time.

But if this does not happen, then isn't it better that it didn't? Can you imagine the the catastrophe an EQ of that magnitude would cause if it hit L.A.?

Just pray and wait and see.

At the same time I would feel a bit upset with Mike Poremba for he would have proven that He just took the Lord's name in vein in claiming what he did.

My suggestion then would that he re-examine exactly what these "feelings" he is having are.

After all, feelings are not prophesy. But the Holy Spirit is never wrong.

It is a logarithmic scale. a 5.0 is ten times more powerful than a 4.0. A 4.1 is not 10 times more powerful than a 4.0.

ALERT! Warning For Southern CA - July 14th

by Mike Poremba
mjporemba@yahoo.com

July 11, 2009

Last night, at a prayer meeting at the Westside Vineyard
Fellowship in Los Angeles, the Holy Spirit powerfully
convicted me to warn those in attendance that there'd me
a major earthquake in LA this Tuesday, July 14th. At the
same time, God compelled me to urge people not to travel
that day, if at all possible.

This morning at around 3:30am - I woke in bed, and the
Holy Spirit began to deal with me that I must share this
warning on the internet, as well.

For months, I believe God's been showing me that an
earthquake - along with several weeks of food shortages -
would be coming to Los Angeles.

If I've heard from God correctly, it'll take place within the next 96 hours.

Sincerely - In The Name of Jesus,

Mike Poremba

It doesn't work that way. For example, a 4.1 is ten times more powerful than a 4.0., so therefore a 4.2 is 100 times more powerful than a 4.0. As you go up the richter scale, the level of kinetic energy increases exponentially. Those three earthquakes, do not equal a 9.5.

It is a logarithmic scale. a 5.0 is ten times more powerful than a 4.0. A 4.1 is not 10 times more powerful than a 4.0.

ML = log10A − log10A0(delta)

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 667842


On the original Richter scale, that was correct. But geologists use the moment magnitude scale, where as a 5.0 is 1000 times more powerfull than a 4.0. The energy release of an earthquake, which closely correlates to its destructive power, scales with the 3⁄2 power of the shaking amplitude. Thus, a difference in magnitude of 1.0 is equivalent to a factor of 31.6 ( = (101.0)(3 / 2)) in the energy released; a difference of magnitude of 2.0 is equivalent to a factor of 1000 ( = (102.0)(3 / 2) ) in the energy released.
