Today’s Forecast: Mostly Sunny 80% Chance of Earthquake
One of the most devastating natural disasters this planet faces is earthquakes. Each year countless lives are lost due to this force of nature. But, what if you knew an earthquake was coming? Would there be time to put together must-have emergency supplies, get prepared for your family and pets, and find a safe place to duck and cover? YES!
"The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes” penned by popular journalist Cal Orey provides intuitive insight into one man's passion for predicting quakes and his controversial methods. This groundbreaking book will provide insight and cutting-edge techniques about early earthquake warnings and preparedness. It’s an intriguing collection of earthquake survivors' testimonials, interviews with worldwide seismologists, the conservative USGS, psychics; plus regionally specific quake information, preparation tips, earthquake cover-ups, and more.
Jim Berkland is the only American scientist to predict and name a major quake. His forecast of the infamous October 17, 1989 World Series Quake that rumbled through the San Francisco Bay Area was well documented. Berkland has accurately predicted at least 6 other significant quakes around the world.
Many of Berkland’s theories--based on tides, moon cycles, disoriented animals, and magnetic field changes--were factors in the great Indian Ocean quake-tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004. Since scientists admit they aren’t able to predict earthquakes, is it really so far-fetched to monitor animals’ sixth sense?
Natural phenomenon’s such as sensitive people and pets so in tune with the Earth can and should be tools for early predictions. Orey, an uncanny animal-loving “earthquake sensitive” (a term that refers to humans who have demonstrated an ability to detect precursors that signal an upcoming earthquake), and Berkland, a brilliant geologist, both hope that “someday earthquake warnings will be announced along with the weather” and could save countless people’s lives around the world.
Earthquakes result in millions of dollars in damage each year. In the U.S. alone earthquakes pose significant risk to 75 million people in 39 states. The Pacific
Northwest, West Coast, Midwest, Southern states, East Coast, and Hawaii are not immune. Earthquakes may not be preventable but they are predictable.
"You can learn to familiarize yourself with Mother Nature’s warning signs of an earthquake and be prepared before it strikes. This book is not myth; it dispels truths that can save lives, “stated Orey.
