THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEATHER AUTHORITY HAS ISSUED AN EARTHQUAKE WATCH
EFFECTIVE NOW TILL MAY 29, 2009 ...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING IN
RAPIDLY AND WILL MAXIMIZE OVER THE AREA ON MAY 27TH, DROPPING TO THE EAST BY MAY
28TH IN THE EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF BERKLAND'S SEISMIC WINDOW AND THIS WILL
LIKELY LEAD TO AN ACTIVE FEW DAYS.
A 3.4 AFTERSHOCK DID HIT THE KEELER,
CALIFORNIA AREA ON MAY 25, 2009 BUT MORE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WILL BE ON THE
WAY IF THESE COME TOGETHER JUST RIGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND, FRANK CONDON MONITORS
ULTRA LOW FREQUENCIES IN THE FAULT ZONES AND HAS PUT THE AREA IN A 7-DAY
ADVISORY. USUALLY WHEN FRANK, JIM, AND THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEATHER AUTHORITY
AGREE, SOMETHING SEISMIC DOES HAPPEN.
THIS IS NOT A SMALL EVENT SUCH AS A
THREE SERIES QUAKE, BUT FOUR SERIES OR LARGER WILL BE LIKELY BEFORE MAY 29,
2009. BERKLAND'S SEISMIC WINDOW CLOSES ON MAY 30TH, 2009, AND OUR WINDOW WILL GO
AHEAD AND SHUT ON MAY 29TH AT MIDNIGHT.
THE ATTEMPT TO LOCATE AREAS OF
FAILING FAULTS WILL STILL BE IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AREAS, DOWN TO OFFSHORE
ORANGE COUNTY, EASTWARD THROUGH ONTARIO AND YUCAIPA, INCLUDING THE BANNING PASS.
STRESS FROM THE MAGNITUDE 4.7 EARTHQUAKE IN KEELER IS MOVING SOUTH AND FURTHER
NOTED NEAR THE LANDERS AND BARSTOW AREAS, INCLUDING THE GARLOCK FAULT ZONE. THE
SAN JACINTO FAULT IS CREEPING AS WELL AND IS AN AREA TO WATCH. NEVER-THE-LESS
THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE A CERTAIN TEST TO ALL THREE PREDICTION PROCESS.
