Oarfish in Cali - Does this mean an Earthquake is imminent ?
 

The Japanese see Oarfish as messengers from the sea God's palace, California has been warned


Full Story http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow...160424233.html

"Two large oarfish, slender snakelike sea creatures, have washed ashore in California in the last two weeks. While their appearance may conjure thoughts of mythical sea serpents, another legend suggests their death could actually spell disaster.

According to Japanese lore and fishermen, the animals have close ties to earthquakes.

If Japanese stories are to be believed, the aquatic giants, which usually live more than 3,000 feet below the surface and away from human eyes, come up to the surface and beach themselves as a prequake warning bell.

Case in point: According to several reports, in the months after an 8.8 magnitude quake in Chile in 2010 and a year before the giant March 2011 tremor that rocked Japan, several oarfish, called ?Messenger from the Sea God's Palace? in Japanese, were either beached or caught near the quake?s epicenter off the coast of Honshu."

From conspiracies to folklore, wehateporn has you covered.

Two examples provided and one doesn't even fit the proposed theory. I guess the Chilean oarfish got lost on their way. Article fail. :error

whatever the case is, if you look at the ring of fire and earthquakes, the only major seismic zone left that has not had an 8.0+ in the last few/couple years is the us west coast.

Excellent point Dyna Mo :thumbsup

it looks bby this map though tht the juan de fuca zone is also due..........

oh, haha, the juan de fuca zone is north west usa, that inculdes the cascadia fault line

yes.

Prob died from radiation poisoning and floated over here!

We aren't having earthquake weather here in NorCal. So not today. Maybe down South.

I am ready.

Nature probably gives a lot of warnings that "know it all" humans ignore. Historically speaking, this may be one of them. Time will tell.

Why does that map leave off socal? They have decent sized quakes

socal is on a fault line, not necessarily a subduction zone, which is what the map is displaying.

Plus, that map looks like a giant oarfish!
