Gentlemen,
~~~~~Hurricane Florence made landfall at Wilmington, North Carolina on September 14, 2018 and I routinely track such big windstorms to where I hypothesize the epicenter of a Major Earthquake might strike. Since on this occasion it comes out to be California, I'm submitting an "Official Prediction" to the California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council today to that effect.
~~~~~Thank-You, Again!!! Sincerely, EQ Guy


OFFICIAL PREDICTION FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO GET ONE OR MORE EARTHQUAKES OF 5 OR 6 ON THE RICHTER SCALE BEFORE NOVEMBER 29, 2018

The reason I'm predicting "One or More" today is due to the fact that when Hurricane Florence made landfall at Wilmington, North Carolina, the speed at which it was moving was 3 miles per hour. As a result of such slow, slow walking speed movement it took days for Hurricane Florence to track all across the Carolina Region and today I'm writing to say I am expecting this same sort of long period of probably some rather big earthquakes to shake, and shake, and shake the opposite side of the North American Tectonic Plate or the Los Angeles and Southern California Region.

A special note regarding the segment of the San Andreas Fault, near San Bernardino, where a Major Earthquake has long been expected. This segment is today directly in line for this New Major Earthquake Energy to cross, however Hurricane Florence did turn just enough southerly in its course that the full brunt of this alert could strike anywhere between there and the Tijuana, and Northern Mexico Region. Also that mystery segment sort of faces a slightly different direction in such a way that this one WILL NOT exactly intersect with it like it would need to release all that energy they're waiting for. It actually looks more like Puente Hills, Whittier, maybe Hollywood for that region.

The region where Hurricane Florence made landfall at around North Carolina, and South Carolina itself is also a "Shaky Place" and might also expect earthquake activity, but probably not the menace we'll be awaiting for in California. Along with the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Southern Illinois/New Madrid Regions could shake, too, and the line will ultimately cross Texas, and Oklahoma where all of these should be far bigger than the mostly "Garden Variety" ones they can sometimes get, there.

The New Alerts for all of these regions will run beyond all the shaking they should be getting or fully until the last days of November 2018 and Day 76 after the date Hurricane Florence made landfall at Wilmington.

It will now be 25 years I've been tracking such big windstorm/earthquake combinations which started on the day of the Northridge Earthquake in 1994 when while checking I discovered the Great World Series-Loma Prieta Earthquake of October 17, 1989 had been preceded by landfall of Hurricane Hugo at Charleston!!! After that I went on to write alerts to friends in Hollywood when other big windstorms would strike, saying an earthquake could follow and that started immediately that summer when Hurricane John made a near landfall at Johnston Atoll and was then followed by a Northern California Earthquake near Cape Mendocino at around a 7. While I was working in Los Angeles in 1999 was when Hurricane Bret made landfall at around Brownsville, Texas and after alerting my neighbors out there and everybody, the now great Hector Mines Earthquake struck there and I was shook up in my Hollywood Apartment there and aftershocks, too!!! Upon landfall last year of Hurricane Harvey at Texas, a huge swarm then struck Idaho and continued on a considerable amount of time, there, and after landfall of Hurricane Maria at Puerto Rico in spite of a major prediction for San Francisco no Major Earthquakes ever showed up along my "Straight-Line" although Hurricane Irma made landfall at Barbuda on September 6, and Oaxaca, Mexico got an 8.2 Magnitude on September 7, 2017

Also note Hurricane Olivia made landfall at Maui, Hawaii on September 12, 2018 and was immediately followed on September 15, 2018 at 5:55am Central Time by a 3.7 Richter Earthquake about 40 miles Southwest of that Island. Also Super Typhoon Mangkhut had 200 mph winds when it made landfall at the Philippines on September 14, 2018 and still big winds at landfall near Hong Kong on September 16 and the two combined will be producing some tremendously major earthquake energy that will be striking different places throughout the term of this O.P. but Antofagasta, and Tocopilla do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Councils, nor does Banda Aceh.

So, it looks like some big time shaking will be a relatively sure thing around those different parts of California and the rest of the Country and Thank-You, Again for accepting my earthquake related submissions, Sirs!!!
