This amazingly politically incorrect Geologist is really beginning to make a name for himself. He said that between the 6-13 of Feb. we would have a MAJOR quake, probably in the Pacific Ring of Fire. That is where Sumatra is. We have also seen a great increase in significant quakes in California. And that unusual one in Nevada! This guy is on to something with his Syzygy!

February 2001 Update
PREDICTIONS FOR FEBRUARY:
The Seismic Window of February 6-13, 2001 actually has stronger astronomical forces that in January, although the 8.4’ maximum tides at the Golden Gate on February will be a full one-half foot lower than those of January 10th. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classifies these February conditions as “perigean spring tides,” with the lunar distance on February 8th not to be matched for almost two years. Also the time separation between the full Moon and perigee will be only nine hours, compared with 12 hours in January. Based upon these factors I predict, with 80% confidence, one or more quakes in each area with the following parameters:
3.5-6.0M quake within 140 miles of Mt Diablo;
3.5-6.0M quake within 140 miles of Los Angeles;
3.0-6.0M quake in Washington and/or Oregon;
A Major (7+M) globally, most likely in the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 80% of large quakes occur.
