For those that don’t know him, Jim Berkland is the geologist that successfully predicted the 1989 World Series earthquake....
Any success in other predictions? People predict many things, some of them are going to be right once in a while just because of the shear numbers of them.
I'm having trouble finding any support for the claim that the "highest predicted tide in 18 years for the West coast" will be during this period. In fact, we just had our "King Tides" a month or so ago (I know because I headed to the tide pools at the time).
How would he predict the next big earthquake near St Louis? It's hard to have a fish dieoff when there's no ocean nearby.
Ever heard of the Mississippi River? The epicenter of the New Madrid fault is well South of St. Louis. Memphis is more likely to take the most devistating impact.

The river is in nowhere near as natural a state as the Pacific Ocean. But imagine if a fish kill took the asian carp out of the river...
Berkland points to the recent mass fish die-off at King Harbor near Redondo Beach as a harbinger of a potential catastrophic quake in the near future.
Oh for G-d's sake, he's a moron.
The mass fish die-off at King Harbor was due to lack of oxygen from all the fish being corralled into the harbor by feeding dolphins and blue whales, then getting stuck there in high winds that kicked up that night as they tried to swim against the rough current.
I was actually there. I actually saw dozens of dolphins feasting on these delish fishies. Was this guy anywhere near the area, or is he just pulling dead fish out of his gaping pie hole?
