6-6.5 != a relative "big one" They had a bigger one last week and were already on high-alert for a bigger one. Your "warning" would have been a "no, duh" to them.

Arnie != Chuck. I'm pretty sure Chuck doesn't like in CA.

Oh, and Much != Many.

The joke was done a lot better long ago on Conan's old show. He had someone impersonate Arnie with his mouth super-imposed over an Arnie picture while they discussed his bid for governor (yes; that old). When asked what he would do about the earthquakes, he said that he would get them in a headlock and say "Who's quaking naow?!"

I'm pretty sure Chuck Norris loves California and that you're wrong.

OK, wrong side of the Pacific plate and higher than I thought but I knew a big one was about to hit.

My analysis model works pretty darn well considering I don't have access to the big boys equipment.

No one can refute I knew a big one was imminent.

The data is in black and white for history to see.

The only thing you can predict is how many Twinkies you can stuff your face with, you fat fuck. :thumbsdown:
 
Well, the way I look at it is, California is always due for the 6.4, 7.4, or 8.4 big one. There are parts of the San Andres fault that have not budged for 400 years. Add in the miss mash of all the side faults no one fully understands, and we have a hard to predict main fault that is uniformly moving 1.5 inches a year. So face the facts, if ole DM is right, all you DM critic will have to fall down and worship him. If not, DM may have to eat crow.

As for us that are rooting for California to fall into the Pacific Ocean and sail off to Alaska, its a going to happen, but sadly we will have to wait another 100,000 years before it does. Meanwhile, oh shit, we are going to have to put up with California bullshit.

By then, we will have another Ronald Reagan, who will launch his political career with a made for TV series titled Rift Valley days. The only remaining question is will it be sponsored by 20 mule team Borax?

No you did not. You posted an earthquake would occur in California at a magnitude much lower than the Japan earthquake.

You, are wrong.

x100.

Actually, it was an 8.9, it's almost x1000 on the Richter Scale.

That's as stupid as praying for rain in a desert, and then celebrating the deity's compassionate responsiveness when it eventually does rain, even if many thousands of people die in the intervening period which covers 20 generations.


So yeah, you totally called it.

Except for the magnitude, and the location.

Which were the only things you predicted.

I was looking at the right area up the plate just wrong side.

Like I said considering the way I am gleening the data that was pretty darned good especially on timing.

I was a little conservative on the magnitude. Can imagine the crap the jokers would be saying had I said a 9.0 Oh look you missed it was only 8.9

Oh and anyone can pull get the data and put into the free program from the USGS site. It's just what I do with that data after the program compiles. I use an excel sheet and use the graph output feature.

It has worked quite a few times now. Big Quakes can be predicted. Why they are choosing to not say anything I would imagine is because of the kind of negative responses like the jealous ones on here make.

You know where I can get some pot, dude? (Mods, not serious)

You prediction was for a month; before you take credit for this, just wait. Maybe Cali will get a 6-7, and you could be completely right, instead of just looking a fool for taking credit for being on the right plate.
 
DaveSimmons said:
According to wikipedia there are ~120 magnitude 6.x earthquakes worldwide per year. So over 4 weeks you'd expect 9 of them to happen if you count any earthquake anywhere on Earth as being exactly the same as your prediction of one happening in a specific part of California.

That's some fine police work there Lou.

Ahahahahaha. You guys are great.
 
Most people I know in CA would sleep through a 6.5.

What will really suck for them is when (not if) an 8.9 hits. Japan has some of best earthquake resistant building technologies and they use them. I'd expect that if it hit an area of CA with like population density, the casualties would be a hundred times greater or more.

Won't be pretty.
 
dmcowen is killing me lol. he's trying to take credit for calling this earthquake when he called a 6-6.5 in California? Oh he got the right plate right? No? Just one of the plates involved, but on the total OPPOSITE side of it? Oh it's one of the most active earthquake spots in the world, which just had some precursor earthquakes earlier in the week? FUCK dave rofl. You're comedy gold man. Fucking retard.

You're a real piece of shit.

Here's a prediction I can guarantee with 100% certainty. You will die one day soon much like Mr. Creosote after stuffing your fat face with one too many Twinkies. Don't worry though, your death will not go unnoticed for on that day I will buy all of ATP&N a round of drinks in order to celebrate the passing of a giant bag of gas that makes Jupiter envious.

He's a legend here. Especially after he was sued for supporting Team Anandtech by installing the distributed computing client as a screen saver on the school computers he administered. We rallied to his defense for years. He's also responsible for the long-running employment thread we used to have. Things like this are just silly little hiccups.

David: Please stop. I would be ashamed enough of the your/you're mistake in the thread title to leave it alone and stop bumping it. Secondly, whatever your secret for predicting "this" geological event, it's obviously location specific if the location is relevant enough to the data to have ever tried to predict the epicenter's location, so even you know that your data is irrelevant to the opposite side of the rim.
