My friend Donna just got a call from a friend of hers living in Vallejo, California. She said some sea lions which typically gather near Pier 39 near them have left, all but 19, and their pet cats are clumping together. The last time either of these two events happened, there was an earthquake. I mentioned this to Mark, and he said there were tremors in California, this morning.
This could, however, simply be normal tremors cuased by gravity from the Sun and the Moon. We're due to have a blue moon and a partial eclipse on New Year's Eve.
I hope it will not be too severe.
Edit: I just found this article regarding the sea lions. Their reduced numbers in this season might not be so much of a herald of danger, after all. I'll wait and see. I know a lot of tremors have been occurring in Baja, so...maybe an earthquake is imminent, maybe not.

Earthquake Imminent?
There were earthquakes already happened in Baja: The USGS shows a magnitude 3.3 quake in the greater Los Angeles area just a little while ago, at 00:17:56 UTC. being a California local and a bit of an earthquake/geological hobby enthusiast - a lot of the experts are saying we here in southern california are more likely to have the next 'big one' as its been a while since we've had a good sized earthquake close to the San Andreas (the last big ones being probably the Hector Mine Quake back in the late 90s and the Northridge Quake of '94). The lower half of SoCal around the Riverside/San Jacinto area is the prime target they say. |
