Will Pets Predict the
Next Big One in
Southern California?
The news is, experts say, Southern California is overdue for a killer quake. The San Andreas fault near Los Angeles, which has been quiet for more than 200 years, could produce a deadly earthquake today or tomorrow. We can’t prevent earthquakes but can pets help predict the next Big One? Some \"shaky specialists\" believe Fido and Fluffy can do just that. Cal Orey\'s latest book, \"The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes,\" is full of cutting-edge advice about do-it-yourself quake warnings and earthquake preparedness.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- What if you knew an earthquake was coming? Would you put away your breakables, teach your kids to stay away from the windows, create a safe space in your home? Of course you would, because the safety of your loved ones comes first.
Geologist Jim Berkland predicted that an earthquake measuring between 3.5 and 6.0 on the Richter scale would strike the Los Angeles area between January 9 and 16 in 1994. The Northridge, California earthquake arrived at 4:31 a.m., on January 17--he was close enough to raise a few eyebrows.
Berkland is the only American scientist to predict and name a major quake. His forecast of the famous October 17, 1989 ?World Series Quake? that rumbled through the San Francisco Bay Area was right on the money. He?s also accurately predicted countless other significant quakes around the world.
Berkland?s nature-based theories are based on factors such as tides, lunar cycles, disoriented pets, lost cats and dogs, and magnetic field changes?many of which were involved in the great Indian Ocean quake-tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004. Since scientists admit they aren?t able to reliably predict earthquakes, is it really so far fetched to monitor lost cats? Berkland doesn?t think so. He hopes that ?someday earthquake warnings will be announced along with the weather? and could save countless people?s lives around the world.
Author Cal Orey's new book, "The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes: Jim Berkland, Maverick Geologist?How His Quake Warnings Can Save Lives," is full of cutting-edge advice about do-it-yourself quake warnings and earthquake preparedness. She makes the information Berkland has found through a lifetime of study available to the public?it?s an intriguing collection of survivors? testimonials, anecdotes about "earthquake sensitives"--humans who have shown the ability to detect precursors that signal an oncoming quakes--through dreams, visions, ear tones, headaches, animal sixth sense, preparation tips, and more. The book?s publication is timely for Southern Californians who await the long overdue Big One.
The author and her subject will be appearing at four Southern California Barnes & Noble stores, August 5 - 8, in Glendale, Woodland Hills, Palmdale, and Costa Mesa.
