Happy New Year


This will be an exciting year for quakecast followers. First, the name is in process of being trademarked. I'll keep you posted if the US Government approves the request. Second, I hope to add other features to the blog including maps of high warning areas.

In the meantime, I'll be watching and quakecasting around the globe and especially California.

World: 183
Calif: 338
Predictor Performance in last 24 hours: None -- I was on vacation


  World Reality
The world number never went up over 200 on my entire vacation. This is very unusual. I think I need to track the world number. I know it is typically over 200. With the world number low, there was a 6.8 quake in Japan. It got no news in the US. Also, last week there were 6 earthquakes in the middle east. Remember, I said we'd see activity start up there. No 6's but still it went from very quiet to slightly active.

  California Reality
There was a three in the Geyers, CA. and lots of twos.

  World Forecast
I have to get readjusted. It's been two weeks so please consider that I may be rusted with this quakecast. The world number will drop in the next 24 hours. There has been very few aftershocks since yesterday. I am not sure when the quakes happened, because I was away but it should go down. This increases the risk of a 6 or a 7. Based on location of the 6.8 and other 5+ breakouts, I'd watch Indonesia for a larger quake.

  California Forecast
I am only going to make a 24 hour quakecast because I've been out of it for a while. There will be no 4+ in the next 24 hours. There will be more 2's and a three. Watch the San Francisco area for the 3+.
