Just thought I'd pass it on. Quake precursor timescale referred to: less than a week.That site is run by Hal Turner. For those who recognize the name.Have any other mentions of that satellite data turned up in US MSM?I think now is a good time to clear out my LA reshipper mailbox.

content: There are some very clever people who work for the US Geological Survey, these scientists have access to a web of sensors that cover all of the earthquake areas along with some remarkably sexy computer kit.Don't worry, they have this covered

content: And here is the reply I just received from the USGS:Dear German_EE,Regarding your message to us concerning recent activity in California:* No connection has been found between space-based observations of atmospheric gas emissions and future large earthquakes* The West Coast is at risk for earthquakes, but no more (or less) so because that may be an increased concentration of carbon monoxide overhead* When you live in earthquake country - preparedness is key* NOAA would be the agency to check-in with for more details.John

content: It never ceases to amaze me how stupid the human race is and how they don't know or forget their history. Many schools don't even teach history and that is a dangerous thing.Got a house on the San Andreas Fault line? The big one is coming. Be prepared.

content: Quote from: German_EE on March 02, 2016, 07:07:06 amThat's interesting.You'd think someone would have known about the safe-mode and flagged the data as suspect *before* publishing it.Assuming that's all true. But I still don't get how an entire sensor being off-temperature produces an image that seems to roughly follow geological fault lines. Also... fires? It's winter there now, right?QuoteWell not next week, anyway.Anyone want to start a betting pool on which will go first: San Andreas or Yellowstone?Both at once, with Hillary as President and Satan incarnate as vicepresident, is my guess.

content: Quote from: German_EE on March 02, 2016, 07:07:06 am"unrealistic emissions", "some data products have been severely degraded" - is it typical of such announcements to be so weasel-wordy? The first sentence is the clearest - "are incorrect" - the rest sounds like someone tried their hardest to avoid saying it plainly.

content: Quote from: EdoNork on March 02, 2016, 12:16:50 pmEarthquake warning systems give you maybe 10 seconds of warning. Still don't have one in California, but they are working on it:http://www.cisn.org/eew/UC Berkeley has an Android app that seems to use crowd sourced data, using phone motion detectors:http://myshake.berkeley.edu/In the Silicon valley bay area we've had about three earthquake larger than 6 in the last 30 years. The largest in 1989:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquakeSo yes, always be prepared for the next quake and it's aftermath.

content: The crowd based phone data also contains ionospheric changes, which every GPS receiver can sense. This can give up to few minutes of early warning.
