I just found out about Jim's passing and just wanted to acknowledge it and with it wish Jim God's blessings in his passing...he had a unique view on how to predict earthquakes...and I believe he was right on many issues.
God Bless Jim Berkland...a visionary in his own right...and someone who led me to many valuable web friends....
There was a big earthquake near Saipan today. We felt the shaking in Guam for 30 or 40 seconds 70 miles away
Just over the hill from me. I am up on Sonoma Mt. I bumped into him a time or two and never really knew who he was. Thanks.
I knew Jim back in the 80s when he was county geologist. I interviewed him several times. Always a fascinating man and theorist.
RIP.
Sad news. I was a regular at syzygyjob.com for many years and a supporter. Jim was a good man. He’ll be missed.
AWWW. I spoke with him many times in the 80s when I used him as an expert witness. He loved talking about how he could predict earthquakes using the runaway pet ads in the SJ Mercury. (He was based in SJ in those days.) He plotted the number of missing pet ads and the moment he saw them tick up significantly, he was able to predict an earthquake locally. He was so enthusiastic! He was convinced that this was an important key to earthquake prediction.
Agreed
Thanks for letting us know
Sad news. I participated in his website since the Loma Prieta earthquake occurred.
I am so sorry to hear this. I followed him for years. RIP and God Bless.
RIP Jim. You took a lot of crap from a lot of jerks, and fought the good fight. I pray you’re in a much better place. You’ll be missed.
RIP, Jim Berkland.....
RIP
I enjoyed listening to him.
