I have earthquake insurance. It never seemed silly to me to have it. |

The predictions I've heard: Seattle will suffer a big quake this year or next. One predictor talked about quakes starting in or near the panhandle of Alaska and moving down the coast to Seattle. This would not be one quake. |

Craig, those type of stories are not based on any science that I've seen. From what I have read, quakes don't start and move. |

earthquake insurance here too. I understand farmers no longer write it up for my area if you're a new customer. |

This is a great link to go along with Bill's. Feel something? Have the pets or livestock been going a little nuts? You can check almost instantly. It is updated within five minutes or so of a local quake: http://www.pnsn.org/recenteqs/latest.htm |

Shawn David Morton was on Coast to Coast AM and predicted a quake on a fault that moves from the Alaska area down to just below Seattle, and that it would happen Nov or Dec. |

Out of curiosity, before we take Mr. Morton's predictions seriously, what has his average been in the past? Has he been right in his past predictions more than 50% of the time? If not, then flipping a coin is more accurate than listening to him. |

Shawn David Morton accuracy rate is pretty high although it's not mentioned in a percentage rate on the web. |

Did he say why these things would happen when they happen? Or is it that he just "sees" it happening then? |

As an Art Bell listener for years, you wouldn't believe some of the predictions by various guests that never came true over the years. I call BS! I remember a prediction of world economic collapse in the year 2000, made in '98. |

Which stock market slide did he predict? Yeah, I would love to see his batting average - that's all that really matters. I can predict that the stock market will crash every day and eventually, I'll be right... |

We are (historically) due for a big one in the PNW, I won't be surprised when it happens. |

Coast To Coast AM just played a tape of Sean David Morton on the program earlier this month predicting a 7.0 Japanese quake in March or April of this year. The Japan Quake of March 24th came in at 7.1, not a bad prediction I'd say. |

Safeco won't write earthquake policies anymore, which is what prompted me to ditch them and go with Liberty Mutual. |

"The stock market will have a big dip between May 15th & 30th, then rebound up high for the last time before November, with a major shift in the world market coming when foreign counties like China take their money out of the U.S. market, causing an American market collapse in November." |

My husband found something about Oregon and Canada coming closer together and squishing Washington which is why Washington gets more quakes than Oregon. |
