That's a big quake! Thank God didn't cause a tsunami, although data from buoys showed VERY early on that probability was VERY low for such an occurrence.
Watch for sustained wave height for serious tsunami warnings, issues coming onshore. Should you see a quick rise, sustained or increasing height offshore, then a drop... Don't wait for it! Get off the beach, away from waterways & to higher ground.
I suppode those of us in California need to be on watch for the next few weeks!
DutchSinse on YouTube has been working on earthquake prediction for years, and although not 100% accurate, he's been a LOT more accurate than anyone else, and has nailed the bigger quakes.
I haven't taken the time to learn his methods insideout, but I've seen him call accurately numerous earthquakes.
I believe with more funding, and a staff, this guy could save many, many more lives.
Having worked with these buoys, and on other NOAA projects, this DutchSince guy has a method to call earthquakes early. PLEASE support him! He is the best bet to predict quakes, to tell the difference between quakes and drilling, quakes set off by drilling, etc.
He's self-taught, and is more of a scientist than many I've met that went through years of "training" of methods that simply don't work. He breathes & lives this stuff, and he is onto something, far more than ANYONE else!
He gets resistance from oil companies, which is sad, as he can save them money and lives!
So get your batteries, your earthquake kits, Ham radios & be ready!
Stay safe, always be prepared & ready for any type of disaster!
Stay safe!
