I’m in Santa Monica California but have lived in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Spokane Washington. I have friends in Seattle, Tacoma, Bainbridge Island and Port Angeles Washington! I pray they will not experience a M9.0 or above. I’ve been through 6.9 in San Francisco during the A’s-Giants World Series baseball ⚾️ game in 89 and felt Northridge in 94 as the Santa Monica Freeway was down for months!!! I have family in Anchorage Alaska and my dad was stationed in the Air Force there in 1964 M9.2 temblor. My heart ❤️ goes out to all of us on the West Coast!

As many of us have become aware of how energy goes where attention flows. I accept your free will to discuss said risk, but I adhere to a positive outlook for our earth and her people. Living free in peace, and without any fear or disaster.

There is so much energy built up! I think all of us feel it. I would rather see it released in a huge swarm all over, instead of the energy contiue to build up. I have a feeling we are experiencing the calm before the storm. Love ya'll ❤

I live in Longview wa. I've had a premonition about this earthquake that is supposed to take place. Appreciate your prayers for the west coast.

Shakin and Bakin is going on! Thank you for the updates Stefan and please stay safe! Much love and blessings. 💚

Thank you, Stefan! I was watching SSGEOS latest video too and he talks about the planetary geometry and the next 2 weeks being critical. Also, tomorrow marks 4 months since the total solar eclipse. Stay safe everyone!

As a weather & cartography geek, I appreciate your maps & graphs ♡

Ya dude that's what I was thinking yesterday😮 'the calm before the storm was why it went all still!' Xx🌻

And now we just had our second earthquake in So Cal in a week. I'm in Los Angeles and felt them both, experiencing mild, bouncing around for about 10 - 15 seconds. I'm on the 2nd floor of a 2-story building.

Don't forget the earthquake New Madrid fault, magnitude 8 or above in the years 1811 and 1812 that made the Mississippi River flow backwards.

I was in the 1971 earthquake in southern California. The ceilings in my grade school fell.

Stefan. These are not what you think. Thy are the outcomes of a wave of frequency and energy. Every time the wave surfaces it makes an earthquake. When it gets to the other side of the pond so to speak the waves come back in the interval spaces. It’s so more easier than we ever thought. Only because now we have google maps and more. So right now the trend is not going down. It’s making it’s way across all the platonic plates. We had everything wrong about quakes. The depth determines the wave. Learned this with @dutchsince. The quakes are making itself to the east coast of USA and down and up the pacific coast. Take two waves of frequency at top and go right in between and bingo there is your new one. .

The Big One ! Hmmm. I was on Guam Aug. '93' " 8.1 Earthquake ". major shaking lasted 57 seconds, then weeks of 6.0 + M. aftershocks.

I am truly grateful for your dedication to your work; I always enjoy your presentations ! Although I have made the conscious decision to remove myself from society (due to receiving extreme emotional and psychological abuse from everyone who I socialize with) I praise your resilience and spiritual fortitude to advance one step at a time ❤❤❤!

Have you seen recent Future Forecasters remote viewers video? They saw flooding/tsunami like event. It looked like a Golden Bridge in their drawing.

People need to learn. How to be safe during an earthquake. Please have a talk about this, maybe. 🎉

[ReikiRosie]

Love that you inform us right away! ❤❤❤❤❤
