h/t Anonymous tip
A strong earthquake has struck off the coast of California and Mexico Friday morning.
A 6.3 earthquake struck at 5:36am EST and minutes later a powerful aftershock, a 4.7, occurred just north of the original earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey. [...]
Originally, it was thought a 6.4 and 6.1 earthquake happened within moments of each other. It was later confirmed that there was only one earthquake. [...]

What did I say about the squid dead on beach, precursor to earthquake a big one, 6.4 is pretty big on ricther scale, deep water creatures, lack of oxygen due to gas release under water as stresses build at plate boundary.

Always look to nature for signs, it's been around for a while, why do dogs etc get nervous before a quake, their nose, ask your dog if he can smell Fukushima.

Also good EQ indicator:
Burrowing animals (gophers, etc.) balk at going down their holes before a big quake. This is why there were no indigenous folks in the quake zone in Alaska at the '84 huge quake there. In those days, before we caucasians robbed them of their cultural traditions, native folks watched nature's dwellers and lived in harmony.

Change in electromagnetic fields and positive and negative ions, too.
I came across a recent article yesterday about the ions, trying to find it now, but found this instead:

So true. I think the squid die off article should be listed under the related articles. I see a connection.

You called it.

Hopefully more Californians are awake to the dangers of nuclear energy and this ballot initiative to shut down California's nuclear power plants will pass this time:
**Santa Cruz resident Ben Davis Jr., who was behind a failed initiative that would have effectively shuttered California’s two nuclear power plants after proponents were unable to collect enough signatures to place it on the 2012 ballot, is back with a new petition effort seeking to place a similar measure on the 2014 ballot.**

We were out there working the poles. Met people told them about enenews with all of our hand outs we gave. We will do it again.

Sorry the squid thing in not related to the earthquake. That is a serious stretch. The squid are effected by the temperature of the water. If you have watched weather related discussions, there has been a battle of ocean temps as cold water overran a weak El nino. Now El nino has punched through the cold surface waters to dominate several of the ENSO regions. These squid got caught in warm waters after chasing prey.

I do understand how certain marine animals can be very susceptible to only being able to survive within certain temperature ranges, but… I donno. If this was the third event within so many weeks, then… I'm just not completely convinced as yet. Although, I don't see it as a precursor to earthquake either. I still suspect some type of connection to what they were feeding on as a first suspect anyway.

That video shows the result of a 7.2 quake (I could have swore it was initially in the high 7s but downgraded) in Baja Mexico 4.4.2010 as the usually stoic mountain range rising to about 5,000 – 6,000 feet begins about 30 miles from the epicenter.

Clouds of dusts are from rockfalls as there is sparse vegetation on the desert side lower slopes.
I was in San Diego about 110 miles from the epicenter and it was the strongest quake I ever felt since I have been here during 45+ years. Shook for a good 20 seconds, I was in the garage as it starting rattling everything and had time to walk out the side door to watch the power poles and power lines sway back and forth.

Here you can see what affect a 7.2 quake has on a swimming pool at ground level within 30 miles of the epicenter (think about a SFP, 4 or 5 stories up in the air).

That left a impression on my mind, that was a short duration quake how long did it shake in Japan, four stories up swing like a pendulum, the waves in the pool would move and bend the fuel racks, someone do the math,
If the racks are held securely in place
