Earthquake, we don't know when it will come... and when the big one Strikes. Whoever you are, what ever you do, if you are in the wrong place. You'll die... ;'( May 12, 2008 there is a earthquake in Sichuan province, six years ago it's already predicted. There are so many signs, like a water of 80,000 cubic meter sunk with a rumbling sound happened last week of April. A migration of todes in a great number has been seen in two different places. And a earthquake clouds has been seen and a glowing cloud like auroras was observe in the morning of May 12... This evident of earthquake was already detected several days before the earthquake happens. But the prediction was banned by the bureau for the stabilization and did not warned the public. If you are not warned, what can you do  damage is already done... No one knows when it will happen but we know it will happen anytime...The survival rate is high for those who are prepared than those who are not... Are you prepared Did you ever think or plan what are you going to do when the earthquake strikes and you are inside your house... Do you know a place in you house that you can hide yourself to survive... Did you see some plan that our government is preparing for the big one... I don't remember anything... If no one can prepare for you... so you need to prepare yourself for a big one then...  I want to share my activity... I'm planning to make a safety space in my house... Like in Japan, a office table that can handle the entire ceiling or the floor slab of the upper floor... When the Big "E" strikes, I run going to this place... Share your plan also... |

What are "earthquake clouds"?
Geologists say there is no accurate way to predict earthquakes. Some areas may be said to have higher risk or probability of earthquake, but as far as predicting reliably when and where it's going to happen, it's not possible now. Some research has been done using animals, some are definitely sensitive but it's hard to use them as a reliable warning system, reactions are too varied and too uncertain.
Me, I live in a wooden house well away from landslide threats, not too worried (wood will bend, creak, maybe pop some joints, but not collapse). Most buildings that collapse are those where substandard materials/techniques were used in construction... unfortunately, there are plenty of those around, both in China and the Philippines!

Earthquake clouds are claimed to be signs of imminent earthquakes. Included as signs warning of earthquakes like: Unusual animal behavior, astrological influences, underground movements of water, and extraordinary clouds occurring a week before the earthquake. But sad to say, this is not accepted by siesmologist and other scientist... One chinese named, Zhonghao Shou, a retired Chinese chemist has made dozens of earthquake predictions based on cloud patterns in satellite images, and claims to have a 70% accuracy. He beliveved that stress and friction in the ground can vaporize water long before the earthquake happens and clouds formed through these mechanisms are distinctively shaped. He has identified five different types of earthquake cloud, including "line-shaped", "feather-shaped", and "lantern shaped" clouds. Here is the link of the earthquake clouds seen before the sichuan earthquake... www.china-quake.com/China%20Sichuan%20earthquake%20cloud.phpI agree with you, the ruins in Shichuan province show evidence of sub standard construction... very minimal count of steel bars... so the building totally flat down after the earthquake... Totally bad for my situation, my condo is in the ground floor and 14 units above me. I can easily escape when I'm still awake, but when I'm already sleeping... lucky to see the sunshine again...  |

Wow bong! those clouds really look ominous! My office is on top of a 4 storey bldg in Las Pinas. I will always be on the look out for cloud patterns like that and get the hell down from the 4th floor when I see them.
Just last night, a text message went around that the Hawaiian Geological office issued a warning about a 6.8 magnitude earthquake was going to hit the Philippines last night. Luckily it didn't happen.
You sort of wonder when you receive a text / warning message like that. You don't want to cause a stir by sending to everybody you know but if it does happen you kick yourself in the butt.
Oh well, better to be prepared eitherway.

the land masses are constantly moving/shifting and its causing minor and major earthquakes since the birth of the earth siguro...and until now no one or no equipment is capable of predicting one..when exactly and how massive.
we cannot go on our normal lives if we have this fear of an earthquake suddenly striking...dehins mo rin naman alam kung saan ka aabutin, in your home, in your office, while shopping or maybe during an outing etc.
for me, just learning the basic things to do, places to avoid etc during an earthquake is already sufficient for me and the members of my family.
pakabait so when we die we go to heaven..with lots of trails under the shade ;D

He has identified five different types of earthquake cloud, including "line-shaped", "feather-shaped", and "lantern shaped" clouds. Well, lotsa people claim lotsa stuff, and words are easy. Unless he publishes the predictions before the event and allows others to assess just how reliable they are, it doesn't mean much. I mean, we have people around who claim to have rap sessions with the Virgin Mary, they're welcome to believe it, but I'm not gonna run mylife by what they claim. Given the distance between upper cloud strata and the ground, and given the distances and speeds that clouds travel, I'm a bit skeptical about this stuff... and I note that the guy claims to be a chemist, not a meteorologist or geologists. If it ain't peer reviewed, it ain't science... After the 1990 quake here, all kinds of rumours spread around... if there isn't a credible source behind the rumour (and since nobody can accurately predict earthquakes, there won't be) it's best to just ignore them. |

my guess is as good as yours. me i just hope it happens when im with my family. my wife works at the tallest edifice in Philippines, the quakes finished and its still shaking she said. and during my DHL days saw Makati during an earthquake, the buildings seemed to be bumping one another. and i want to be with my kids, my three youngest because they would be helpless when the big one happens. God bless us all.

if i may share a couple of thoughts on this one: 1. earthquakes are unpredictable, with all the advances in technology, it's quite unfortunate that we still haven't found the exact science nor instrument that will accurately predict an about to occur earthquake. though we can identify earthquake prone areas via underground movement in plates (i.e. san andreas fault, marikina fault line, etc.) 2. even if tsunamis can be predicted, there is only a few minutes window from warning to its actual landfall (tama ba yung word, hehehe).anyways a few minutes can spell thousand of lives saved. 3. that text message of a 6.8 magnitude tremblor that was going around yesterday was a COMPLETE HOAX with a capital H (see no. 1) and it was also discussed in the radio that such agency does not exist. relax........watch or hear the news hehehe 4. i read somewhere that the strongest area of a high rise is the area near the elevator shaft kasi it's made of solid materials and the last part to collapse in a high rise during a strong tremblor. 5. i read somewhere as well that in low rise structure (1-3 storeys) its better to seek shelter near door jambs rather than under the table because in case of a low rise collapsing, tables have a tendency of being crushed while door jambs may carry collapsed debris creating a space underneath it (imagine a triangle shaped space underneath the door jamb). what is an earthquake cloud? finally...... my post is not infallible....when in doubt google it ;D  p.s. not trying to be an end-of-days advocate here.....but somewhere in the Holy Bible it is written that what is occuring today are signs of the end-of-days (again don't believe what i say, read the Bible) |

Since moving to Cali we constantly experiencing earthquakes. The memorable one was in Jan.1994 (not mistaken) at around 4:30 am with a magnitude of 6.7 but at the epicenter was 8.0. Had many multiple after shock above 5 magnitude. We just 5 miles away to the epicenter. I saw the house moves like a rubber back in fort before the power shut off and the sound squeaking joints of the house was unforgettable. I lost hearing on my left ear for few seconds because of my wife screaming for at least 15 seconds ;D. The good thing all houses construction code in California are design to sustained major earthquake. Also the state of California always have earthquake preparedness for every companies, schools and at homes. The most important to have stock of food and water for a week.
In regards to the wavy clouds -my mom also believe on that. I seen lots of those clouds but only few time really happen. The most we really believe when its really warm weather, no wind and no bird noise but Caltech said not related. They were trying to predict by planting high tech sensors near San Andreas fault. This fault is sleeping giant and more than 25 years over due for another big one.

After the 1990 quake here, all kinds of rumours spread around... if there isn't a credible source behind the rumour (and since nobody can accurately predict earthquakes, there won't be) it's best to just ignore them. I fully agree with you that the prediction is still not that accurate. In earthquake history of China, there is two successful prediction for the Haicheng earthquake in Feb 1975. And another successful prediction is Gushan-Pianling Earthquake in Nov 1999. 2008 Shichuan earthquake is also predicted that it's coming... But There is no earthquake predicted as - Specific area - Specific magnitude or magnitude range - Specific time window - Estimate of probability compared to random chance - A physical basis so as it seems that all the prediction is not that meaningful Or just consider it as a humour need for evidence... 1990 Luzon earthquake maybe there is a sign but just ignored. I would say, I also don't know about this earthquake signs only after I read about the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake prediction. So possible pala that we can prepare in advance if we only know the sign... |

Earthquake Facts
1. The largest recorded earthquake in the United States was a magnitude 9.2 that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska on Good Friday, March 28, 1964 UTC.
2. The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 (Mw) in Chile on May 22, 1960.
3. The earliest reported earthquake in California was felt in 1769 by the exploring expedition of Gaspar de Portola while the group was camping about 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Los Angeles.
4. Before electronics allowed recordings of large earthquakes, scientists built large spring-pendulum seismometers in an attempt to record the long-period motion produced by such quakes. The largest one weighed about 15 tons. There is a medium-sized one three stories high in Mexico City that is still in operation.
5. The average rate of motion across the San Andreas Fault Zone during the past 3 million years is 56 mm/yr (2 in/yr). This is about the same rate at which your fingernails grow. Assuming this rate continues, scientists project that Los Angeles and San Francisco will be adjacent to one another in approximately 15 million years.
6. The East African Rift System is a 50-60 km (31-37 miles) wide zone of active volcanics and faulting that extends north-south in eastern Africa for more than 3000 km (1864 miles) from Ethiopia in the north to Zambezi in the south. It is a rare example of an active continental rift zone, where a continental plate is attempting to split into two plates which are moving away from one another.
7. The first "pendulum seismoscope" to measure the shaking of the ground during an earthquake was developed in 1751, and it wasn't until 1855 that faults were recognized as the source of earthquakes.
8. Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.
9. Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different unrelated phenomenona. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. A tsunami is a sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake or landslide (usually triggered by an earthquake) displacing the ocean water.
10. The hypocenter of an earthquake is the location beneath the earth's surface where the rupture of the fault begins. The epicenter of an earthquake is the location directly above the hypocenter on the surface of the earth.
11. The greatest mountain range is the Mid-Ocean Ridge, extending 64,374 km (40,000 mi) from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa, Asia, and Australia, and under the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America. It has a greatest height of 4207 m (13,800 ft) above the base ocean depth.
12. The world's greatest land mountain range is the Himalaya-Karakoram. It countains 96 of the world's 109 peaks of over 7317 m (24,000 ft). The longest range is the Andes of South America which is 7564 km (4700 mi) in length. Both were created bythe movement of tectonic plates.
13. It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage.
14. It is thought that more damage was done by the resulting fire after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake than by the earthquake itself.
15. A seiche (pronounced SAYSH) is what happens in the swimming pools of Californians during and after an earthquake. It is "an internal wave oscillating in a body of water" or, in other words, it is the sloshing of the water in your swimming pool, or any body of water, caused by the ground shaking in an earthquake. It may continue for a few moments or hours, long after the generating force is gone. A seiche can also be caused by wind or tides.
16. Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. Most of them are so small that they are not felt. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15-20 are greater than magnitude 4.0. If there is a large earthquake, however, the aftershock sequence will produce many more earthquakes of all magnitudes for many months
17. The magnitude of an earthquake is a measured value of the earthquake size. The magnitude is the same no matter where you are, or how strong or weak the shaking was in various locations. The intensity of an earthquake is a measure of the shaking created by the earthquake, and this value does vary with location.
18. The Wasatch Range, with its outstanding ski areas, runs North-South through Utah, and like all mountain ranges it was produced by a series of earthquakes. The 386 km (240-mile)-long Wasatch Fault is made up of several segments, each capable of producing up to a M7.5 earthquake. During the past 6000 years, there has been a M6.5+ about once every 350 years, and it has been 150 years since the last powerful earthquake.
19. There is no such thing as "earthquake weather". Statistically, there is an equal distribution of earthquakes in cold weather, hot weather, rainy weather, etc. Furthermore, there is no physical way that the weather could affect the forces several miles beneath the surface of the earth. The changes in barometric pressure in the atmosphere are very small compared to the forces in the crust, and the effect of the barometric pressure does not reach beneath the soil
20. From 1975-1995 there were only four states that did not have any earthquakes. They were: Florida, Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
21. The core of the earth was the first internal structural element to be identified. In 1906 R.D. Oldham discovered it from his studies of earthquake records. The inner core is solid, and the outer core is liquid and so does not transmit the shear wave energy released during an earthquake.
22. The swimming pool at the University of Arizona in Tucson lost water from sloshing (seiche) caused by the 1985 M8.1 Michoacan, Mexico earthquake 2000 km (1240 miles) away.
23. Earthquakes occur in the central portion of the United States too! Some very powerful earthquakes occurred along the New Madrid fault in the Mississippi Valley in 1811-1812. Because of the crustal structure in the Central US which efficiently propagates seismic energy, shaking from earthquakes in this part of the country are felt at a much greater distance from the epicenters than similar size quakes in the Western US.
24. Most earthquakes occur at depths of less than 80 km (50 miles) from the Earth's surface.
25. The San Andreas fault is NOT a single, continuous fault, but rather is actually a fault zone made up of many segments. Movement may occur along any of the many fault segments along the zone at any time. The San Andreas fault system is more that 1300 km (800 miles) long, and in some spots is as much as 16 km (10 miles) deep.
26. The world's deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1556 in central China. It struck a region where most people lived in caves carved from soft rock. These dwellings collapsed during the earthquake, killing an estimated 830,000 people. In 1976 another deadly earthquake struck in Tangshan, China, where more than 250,000 people were killed.
27. Florida and North Dakota have the smallest number of earthquakes in the United States.
28. The deepest earthquakes typically occur at plate boundaries where the Earth's crust is being subducted into the Earth's mantle. These occur as deep as 750 km (400 miles) below the surface.
29. Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on average every 14 years.
30. The majority of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur along plate boundaries such as the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. One of the most active plate boundaries where earthquakes and eruptions are frequent, for example, is around the massive Pacific Plate commonly referred to as the Pacific Ring of Fire.
31. The earliest recorded evidence of an earthquake has been traced back to 1831 BC in the Shandong province of China, but there is a fairly complete record starting in 780 BC during the Zhou Dynasty in China.
32. It was recognized as early as 350 BC by the Greek scientist Aristotle that soft ground shakes more than hard rock in an earthquake.
33. The cause of earthquakes was stated correctly in 1760 by British engineer John Michell, one of the first fathers of seismology, in a memoir where he wrote that earthquakes and the waves of energy that they make are caused by "shifting masses of rock miles below the surface".
34. In 1663 the European settlers experienced their first earthquake in America.
35. Human beings can detect sounds in the frequency range 20-10,000 Hertz. If a P wave refracts out of the rock surface into the air, and it has a frequency in the audible range, it will be heard as a rumble. Most earthquake waves have a frequency of less than 20 Hz, so the waves themselves are usually not heard. Most of the rumbling noise heard during an earthquake is the building and its contents moving.
36. When the Chilean earthquake occurred in 1960, seismographs recorded seismic waves that traveled all around the Earth. These seismic waves shook the entire earth for many days! This phenomenon is called the free oscillation of the Earth.
37. The origin of the name of the San Andreas Fault is often cited as the San Andreas Lake. However, based on some 1895 and 1908 reports by geologist A.C. Lawson, who named the fault, the name was actually taken from the San Andreas Valley. He likely did not realize at the time that the fault ran almost the entire length of California!
38. The interior of Antarctica has icequakes which, although they are much smaller, are perhaps more frequent than earthquakes in Antarctica. The icequakes are similar to earthquakes, but occur within the ice sheet itself instead of the land underneath the ice. Some of our polar observers have told us they can hear the icequakes and see them on the South Pole seismograph station, but they are much too small to be seen on enough stations to obtain a location.

Also, seen this sign before the 2008 Sichuan Earthquakes...
"On May 12, sightings of unusually colorful and luminous cloud formations in two cities of nearby provinces more than 400km north east of the epicenter, each at about 30 and 10 minutes before the earthquake, were filmed and photographed. These colorful clouds were unusual in exhibiting luminous characteristics akin to auroras."

re:sightings are there scientific explanations to directly link this "unusual sightings" prior to the 1990, haicheng and sichuan earthquakes. or are these "phenomenon" just being linked for being "coincidentally" occuring prior to the earthquake. ergo just assumptions. remember people that predicting earthquake is an "exact science" and not mambo-jambo just thinking out loud |

I also have the same experience as you do about drawing a big circle with eyes, nose and smiling lips on the ground... And we (my playmates) believed that we make the rain go aways by doing this... But until now, I can find any scientific explanation for it... ;D ;D ;D I'm laughing to myself that I still beleive that's the drawing of sun in the ground is connected to the rain...
