6.8R off coast of N. California <----As predicted here

A 6.5R earthquake has just arrived off the coast of Northern California as shown by the location on the maps above.

The 6.5 magnitude quake struck just off the western coast of the US, roughly 102 miles west of Ferndale, California, the U.S. Geological Survey said. 

The earthquake hit just before 3pm on Thursday afternoon. 

Officials have received reports of the tremors from some 281 people on land. 

The richter scale, which measures seismic activity, ranges from three to seven, with anything in the range of 6 to 6.9 defined as “strong”, with enough energy to damage buildings, potentially leading some to totally or partially collapsing. 

Earthquakes of that strength are usually felt up to 155 miles from the epicentre.

As you can see from our California Calendar we were a few hours from the expected date and since our stated accuracy is +-1 we are well within our prediction range.  Another demonstration that our method does pick up very large earthquakes and also medium magnitude.
