Earthquake in Seattle...

#1 Postby Anonymous » Sat Nov 06, 2004 2:09 am

Don't be surprised today if there is an earthquake-tsunami in the Seattle area. On the show After Dark, a psychic named SMALLEY visioned it at 7:30 (AM OR PM AND WHAT TIME ZONE NOT KNOWN) on Saturday...TODAY.

I doubt it. I will keep an eye on the USGS maps though.

Its not like you doubt a hurricane...Earthquakes...one may be devestating LA as I speak. You can not forecast or doubt them.

Huh? You can forecast earthquakes... but it is not very good. In order for a tsunmai to occur in Seattle, one would have to have a 6.0+ earthquake...

Eh? I didn't feel anything here, and I'm not that far from L.A. (less than an hour in fact). :?:

I think that post was meant as a point Joshua, not in reality.

Psychics don't forecast anyway...they predict. :)

Isn't there a bit of a difference? Forecasting is generally based on putting scientific evidence together to determine a future outcome or event. A prediction is based on intuition, the stars, or some other supernatural or non-scientific basis.

Personally, I believe in intuition and lucky guesses. The other is bunk. I predicted at the beginning of the year that an Oscar-winner would become the parent of twins and that Ronald Reagan would pass away. Julia Roberts (Oscar for "Erin Brokovich") is now preggers with two and we all know about Reagan. Am I psychic? Nope, just made enough guesses that somehow I managed to hit right on a few of them. :wink:

Quake in Seattle? We'll see. Given the proximity to MSH and the past activity there already, it's possible. But I think it'd just be a lucky guess if she got it right. :)

A tsunami causing earthquake in the Seattle area would not be associated with Helens at all but would be an undersea earthquake of large magnitude in either the Cascadia Subduction Zone or in Puget Sound.

Ah I see, well thanks for the clarification. :)

Just wanted to let y'all (yep I did live in the South for a bit :P ) know that nothing was happening here anyway. ;)
