Alaskan Earthquake Was Predicted Last Week and More Warnings

In an article I published on August 26, 2011 title, “Earthquake Warning for California and West Coast” (http://scienceray.com/earth-sciences/earthquake-warning-for-california-and-west-coast/), I predicted that an earthquake would be felt along the southwest and west sides of the North American tectonic plate. I also explained the forces that would lead to the earthquake(s) and you might want to read it to understand what is happening and will continue to happen. Within the last 24 hours earthquakes in the magnitude of between 6.8 and 7.1 have struck the Alaskan and Southern California coast.

These earthquakes have relieved some of the pressure disequilibrium possibly caused by the North Carolina earthquake, which in turn was possibly caused by the early stages of hurricane Irene. The epicentre of the Alaskan earthquake was farther northwest than I had guessed, however in line with stress points on the tectonic plate.

Based on two dynamics, I now predict that there will be more earthquakes along the western edge of the North American plate (west coast) and a much lower possibility of some earthquakes on the east coast within the next couple of weeks. The first of the two dynamics is that because of the shape of the North American plate, where the existing earthquakes hit releases two anchoring bodies. Once these anchors give way, the pressure equilibrium along the Northern California coast and possible into British Columbia is likely to adjust. The second dynamic is that having freshly adjusted the friction point, the eastern edge of the North American tectonic plate will likely give way to the adjustment of pressure on the western edge (west coast) of the plate.

So if you live in these areas be prepared to have a shaky time soon, if not during the long weekend.
