Frank Condon Says So. Cal. Earthquake Possible
02-Jul-2005
Frank Condon of GeoSeismicLabs says that the July 4th weekend or shortly thereafter could see a strong earthquake in Southern California, but the USGS Real-Time Forecast of Earthquake Hazards in the area does not foresee any significant quakes in the next 24 hours. (As of 2 July, 2005, 11:00 AM PDT).
Mr. Condon of GeoSeismicLabs has appeared on Dreamland (11 March, 2005) discussing the changing seismic situation around the world, with emphasis on California and the US western states. (To listen to this and other archived Dreamland programs, subscribe to Unknowncountry.com.)
Now Mr. Condon suggests that a strong earthquake could affect the Southern California area because of the fact that a recent Nicaragua quake has affected crustal stress levels in the area. Mr. Condon is not predicting a quake, but saying that the possibility of one is higher because of the effects of the Nicaragua quake.
He writes on his website message board, "It appears that triggering from the Nicaragua earthquake is greatly affecting the crustal stress level in Southern California. The way it looks right now, it may be coming to a point."
He continues, "everyone from Central California to Baja, Mexico needs to be aware of what´s currently being detected. We now have some anomalously high levels of deep crustal stress surfacing along the Pacific & North American Plate Boundary in Southern California. The Inland Empire should be at the Warning level in Wrightwood, Lytle Creek, Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, Devore, San Bernardino, Redlands, Yucaipa, Banning, Loma Linda, Colton, Riverside, Hemet, Idyllwild, Beaumont, Anza, Borrego Springs, Ocotillo Wells, Desert Hot Springs, Yucca Valley, Indio/Palm Springs to the Salton Sea and anywhere else which is in within 15 miles of any major faults located in Southern California."

The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program utilizes a system of 24 hour earthquake prediction in Southern California based on analysis of foreshocks. At present, this program predicts only a slight chance of an earthquake east of San Diego. To reference the USGS SoCal Earthquake Hazard Map, click here.
