Earthquake 'intuitive' says Northern Nevada, California not out of the loop for deadly earthquakes

Though Northern Nevada is not out of the woods for large earthquakes, there is a potential for seismically-charged shakers for the region, says Cal Orey, a Lake Tahoe earthquake intuitive, who predicted the 6.5 Eureka earthquake on Saturday.

Proof of her offshore Northern California 6.0+ forecast can be found on these Web sites:

http://ourlegacybook.com/EECForum/index.php?topic=1111.0 [excerpt from Oracle 20/20 magazine, Jan. issue online, page 32]

Largely consider a form of pseudo-science, one only has to look to the behavior of animals to recognize that earthquake activity may lurk. Orey points out the recent behavior of sea lions living in the Bay Area, migrating northward to the Pacific Northwest.

"I heard about the mass exodus a few days prior the end of 2009. However, the sea lions fled a day after Thanksgiving. The fact that I heard that they moved to Monterey and then north to Oregon was another red flag," Orey said. "To me this is disorientation, something domestic and wild animals fall victim to prior to a strong quake."

Orey's predictions and successful hits are posted on her web sites www.earthquakeepi-center.com
and www.calorey.com have been featured on Web sites and on the Coast to Coast AM nationally-syndicated radio show. On Tuesday Orey was interviewed by the science editor of MSNBC for a story following the deadly 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti on Tuesday.

Tuesday's catastrophic earthquake at Port-Au-Prince, Haiti brought back horrific memories of the 7.1 magnitude San Francisco Bay Area World Series earthquake that Orey survived.

"There were some similarities: panic, chaos, deaths in a populated area, and collapse of infrastructure. My heart goes out to these people who were not prepared for such a disaster. But sometimes, quakes give us no warning and other times if we tune into Mother Nature we can get many signs that the Earth is going to make its move.

"What's more, a decade ago when I moved to Lake Tahoe, I didn't know quakes hit here and that I live nearby faults. Worse, I was clueless that if we have a strong quake or landslide here in the sierras that a seiche or tsunami is possible.

"So, if I get cues or if my seismically sensitive pets behave abnorally or wildlife at Tahoe is out of whack — I pay attention. In other words, I stock up on extra water, get quake cash, even take down artifacts as I did during the quake swarm last April before the quake hit home on the 25th," Orey said.

The following are some questions I posed to Orey following the Eureka earthquake.

Q: Do you update your earthquake forecasts whenever you get a feeling?

CO: Often yes but sometimes no due to the nature of the cue I receive. I post my predictions on www.earthquakeepi-center.com . I use a lot of the forums: Dreams and Visions; Animal Sixth Sense; Super Sensitives. I also pen a monthly Earth Changes column for Oracle 20-20 magazine and I include my predictions as I see fit.

Q: How have you been, in your own words, on your predictions? 80 percent? 90? 70? Give me some examples of your predictive hits.

CO: My accuracy rate is about 60 percent. But note, if there is an earthquake swarm or a quake I am close to in locale, my accuracy rate soars to about 90 percent. Here is my 2009 list of quake hits. These past forecasts were made on “Coast to Coast” and “Positively Psychic” radio shows; and posted on www.earthquakeepi-center.com:

— L’ Aquila, Italy: 6.3; April 5: Based on three moderate quakes, possible foreshocks in December 2008; intuition.
— Long Beach, CA: 4.9; May 17: Based on intuition; history of the 1933 Long Beach.
— Offshore NorCal: 4.9; August 7: Based on seismic lull in a region known to have moderate to strong temblors.
— Lone Pine, CA: 5.2; October 2: Based on gut instinct that the prior 5.0 quake the day before was a foreshock; seismically sensitive pets behaving strangely.
— Alaska, 6.6; November 17: Based on lack of seismic activity; quake struck Queen Charlotte Islands Region but was felt in parts of AK.

Q: You have pets who you say react prior to earthquakes. How do they figure into
your predictions? Behavior patterns?

CO: Simon, 6, Seth, 3— a seismically sensitive Brittany duo. This breed is sensitive and both dogs have a proven track record with the 2008 Verdi-Mogul swarm.

They become "Velcro" dogs — clingy. In the past two weeks, Simon and Seth have jumped up onto my lap as I sit in the recliner in the living room. Very insecure and odd. The morning of the Eureka quake, neither dog wanted to go outdoors. This was a mega head's up to me. They love to go outside. Seth wouldn't even go to the bathroom until afternoon. Very odd. Kerouac, my senior black cat, jumped up into my lap prior to the Tahoe Vista 4.8 quake. During the Verdi-Mogul swarm he paced and was extremely vocal. The past two nights? He was yowling throughout the night.

Saturday morning my cat grew very affectionate, clingy — his pre-quake cues. The animal behaviors they showed are very common for domestic dogs and cats before a shaker.

Q: How about you? What typically happens to you physically or emotionally before quakes hit?

CO: On Saturday's earthquake in Eureka, before I walked the dogs when I was looking at the USGS
map I got a vision of a large (7.0) red square in NorCal. It freaked me out and I did not post on my site because I don't like to create panic. The past week I've been recommending posters to be prepared. I like to provide a sense of calm but awareness to be ready. We are Californians and we live in Earthquake Country. Posters, fellow sensitives were noting symptoms of anxiety just like my
companion animals. As a sensitive, I pick up their energy.

Q: Science is pretty rigid and chooses not to go for the esoteric. Yet we know that animals and their behaviors have made great quake predictors. Are we now at a time where science needs to take a serious look at the phenomenon? What would you like to see happen with human sensitives, science and earthquake predictions?

CO: I'd like scientists to team with human sensitives in the same way police team with psychics and doctors use both conventional medicine with alternative treatments. We need to work together, not against one another if we want to get on top of predicting future earthquakes.
