Earthquake Questions
So I’ve been hearing stories about how there’s supposed to be this big earthquake on Friday, is that true? I know southern California is having a earthquake drill tomorrow at 10am to see how we could handle this earthquake. Basically i just want more information on this earthquake that’s supposed to happen Friday.

there was a huge drill on thursday , but nobody can predict an earthquake my friend ! it may strike in 10 seconds .. it may strike tomorrow .. it may strike in 2 years , let's pray to god that no earthquake will be striking as huge as the one there schedualing , just be safe and follow the proper instincts , keep safe and it'll pass quicker than you'd know ! were for certain not sure but be aware , and ready at all times because you never know , good luck !

I just read an article on this, and I believe they are just doing the drill in case one were to happen at some point. The article doesn’t mention anything about them expecting a real one at a certain time, and I don’t think they are able to predict earthquakes, so I think it is just a drill in case the real thing were to occur.

You can not expect an earthquake of more than 6 in Richter scale with in another ten years. Look for following symtoms .But no body can predict.
Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami
Even though it is difficult to predict, the following methods may help.
.
1. Seismic gape: – The earthquake at a particular place may occur for every fixed gape of time. By knowing the past records of the quakes affected at that place may help to decide when the earthquake is next due.
2. Planet position.: – When the stress is accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary and the same time if the position of more than 2 planets comes in a straight line this may help to accelerate the earthquakes. There fore the full moon days and new moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes. Some time this method fails why? Think of a sick patient. New moon and full moon days are dangerous for only sick patents. These days will not affect the healthy people. The same way if there is no accumulated stress at the tectonic plate boundaries no need to worry about the planet positions.
3. Sun rays falling method: – If you observe the position of the sun rays falling on our wall at a particular time on all days it should form an angular infinity symbol. If there is any deviation in its path it means that there is some difference in height of the earth. That means some strain noticed at that place. Somebody claims that they can predict the place of epicenter by observing this. The laser beam measuring method of earth height from satellite also will help.
4. MDCB:- Chinese scientist claims that they can predict up to 60 % accuracy by sensing electro magnetic rays.
5. Cloud forming: – Few hours to a few days before the occurrence of earthquakes a cloud reader claims that he has noticed a peculiar mosaic type of formation .We may also notice some lightening in the sky.
6. By sound :- A professor from Ajmeer University claims that he was able to hear a low frequency noise under 125 meter depth in a bore well. The same thing was reported by one Mr. Nair that he heard some roaring noise under the earth one week before the occurrence of earthquake in Gujarat.
7. By frequency of waves :- Mr Richter Allen of Berkley University claims that he can decide the magnitude of earthquake just 4 seconds after observing the frequency of the primary wave. Present method needs the full seismographic picture to find the real magnitude that too from as many places as possible to have fairly accurate results. His claim has got some truth because when there is a slip of bigger tectonic plate the frequency of quake will be less. If a small tectonic plate slips the frequency of the waves will be more.
8. There are several changes in nature and in the behaviors of animals and birds can be observed before an earthquake and Tsunami. The water level in well may change. Stay away from beaches if you sense earthquake waves. The Tsunami may attack long after the shaking is stopped. I wrote several articles on these subjects.
Have one simple earthquake alarm installed in your house.

You can’t predict earthquakes.

uhh, well today the 13th there was suppose to be this big drill, as too what would happen if the next BIG earthquake would happen now.
but my friend txted me like 5 minutes ago saying a real one would happen tomorrow the 14th. i think everyone is confused by the drill
im srta freaking out lol, but nahhh i beleive it was the drill and everyone started assuming things without knowing the real facts.
goshh my heart is literally skipping beats im even shaking haha, but ive read a lot of articles saying no one can predict it, and it can happen ANY second, day, month, or year now .
