EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING DEVELOPMENTS March 2, 2010

Several months ago my earthquake forecasting computer program finally got developed to the point where easily understood data could be generated in an efficient manner. And since then it is has been possible to devote some time to actually evaluating the data that are being generated.

The results have been spectacular in my opinion. And research efforts are presently moving along so fast with so many different part of this effort that it has become difficult to even let people know what it taking place except with some E-mail notes. Here are some of the latest developments.

DEVELOPMENT 1 - Haiti Earthquake Survivor Story

An earthquake sensitive in the Haiti area contacted me for information on this phenomenon. And we began comparing notes regarding the times when EM Signals are detected. So far his data appear to be in excellent agreement with my own. In one case we detected signals just 3 minutes apart.

This person has the most extraordinary story to tell. And as soon as time permits I am planning to try to get him a television interview here in the U.S. or perhaps in some other country such as with the BBC in Great Britain.

He went to work in the popular and highly regarded Montana Hotel in Haiti on the morning of the earthquake. But he became so ill from earthquake sensitivity symptoms such as an intense headache that he had to return home. Later in the day the hotel was heavily damaged by the earthquake. And the last news report on it that I saw indicated that hundreds of people died inside it when the building was damaged. That included one person with whom the person I am in contact with was supposed to have been working that day.

This is the first time that I have ever heard that earthquake sensitivity might actually have saved someone’s life. Normally it just makes people miserable. My data analyses indicate that he is now probably detecting quite a few EM Signals associated with Chile earthquake aftershocks.

DEVELOPMENT 2 – Volcanic Activity Related EM Signals

Very roughly, 50% of the time when I detect an EM Signal the approaching earthquake responsible for it will occur within a few days. The rest of the time it can be delayed for weeks or even months.

Recent data analyses indicate that quite a bit of the signal activity I am detecting might be associated with volcanic activity. During the past year the two main volcanoes being detected would probably be Redoubt in the Alaska area, and Kilauea in Hawaii. And that activity is appearing on my forecast charts at my Data.html Web page and making it difficult at times to see the true earthquake related signals. Efforts have been underway to find a way of compensating for those volcano related interferences.

Last November 28, 2009 I detected one of the strongest EM Signals that I have ever detected. And I circulated an international earthquake warning. The following is my EarthWaves post about the signal and several others detected around the same time.

No earthquake that was a good match for the signal has ever been detected. However, time delays of multiples of a month between the signals and the earthquakes are not uncommon. And the February 27, 2010 date for that extremely powerful Chile earthquake plus the strength of the EM Signal suggest that the signal could have been an early precursor for that approaching earthquake. And if so then it is unfortunate that I could not do a better job with an exact location for the expected earthquake. If that signal was in fact associated with the Chile earthquake then other researchers might have been able to confirm that it was on the way. And some lives might have been saved. At the moment it looks like more than 700 people perished during the earthquake or because of the tsunami (tidal waves) it created.

DEVELOPMENT 3 – New Earthquake Sensitivity Type EM Signal Detector

Research contacts in the People’s Republic of China appear to have developed an electromagnetic energy field detector that can monitor some of the same types of EM Signals being detected by earthquake sensitive humans and probably some earthquake sensitive animals.

I have compared about 30 EM Signal times from that research group with some of my own data. And they are in excellent agreement.

So, that makes 5 people or groups around the world with whom I am in contact who appear to be monitoring the same type signals. This is allowing forecasting research to move along with increasing speed. Additionally I have two other contacts who are actively monitoring different types of EM Signal. And we are comparing notes on them.

At the moment I am working on a Web Page report that provides some information on that earthquake sensitivity type EM Signal detector. And when it is finalized I plan to post a note about it. I am also planning to try to help those researchers get a U.S. patent for their new detector. Their cost estimate for a complete unit is about $2000 US. However I myself feel that with performance improvements and mass-production techniques the cost could probably be reduced to perhaps the $100 to $500 range making the detector affordable by virtually any research institution and even many independent researchers.

The detector can fit on a laboratory bench. It doesn’t need any contacts with the ground. And EM Signals can apparently be detected for earthquakes occurring around the world. The one presently running unit in China detected such a strong signal 7 minutes before that recent powerful Chile earthquake that it stopped running. The system had to be shut down and restarted.

There are 3 other people or groups that I know of who might have developed earthquake sensitivity type detectors that are radically different from this latest one. Two of the groups are in the U.S. One is in India. Unfortunately, I have never been able to establish good communications contacts with any of those other groups.
