Forecasts of Largest Regional Earthquakes for Full Moon and New Moon Periods of the Lunar Month Ahead
Breakthrough in Research (August 2008)
All new Long-term tables now include the expected dates for each earthquake forecast (column 2 below). This is being made possible by a very important breakthrough in the author's research which is being publicly tested and refined through the earthquake forecasts posted here. The expected dates are indicative only, and not binding.
These earthquake forecasts will now form the basis of any specific short-term predictions (for 10-day periods) which may be made on pages dedicated to the specific regions elsewhere on this web site. These short-term predictions will be subject to reviews of magnitude and timing as events unfold.

Links between Earthquake in Soloman Islands and Earthquake Prediction in Jim Berkland in California
An earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale jolted Solomon Islands at 0423 GMT on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The epicenter, with a depth of 81.6 km, was initially determined to be at 10.4450 degrees south latitude and 161.4199 degrees east longitude. The quake was centered 76 km west of Kira Kira, San Cristobal, and 171 km southeast of the capital Honiara, Solomon Islands.
No tsunami warning was issued. And so far no casualty or damage has been reported.

This earthquake is in a series of earthquakes in this region.
Jim Berkland has already predicted an earthquake in California.

Are California's Nuclear Power Plants Built to Withstand Earthquakes? - Manhattan Beach, CA Patch
Looking at the failure of three cooling systems at nuclear power
reactors in Japan, and a second containment building explosion, I can’t
help but wonder about the shortsightedness of building nuclear plants
near an earthquake fault. The question arises, are we at risk here in
Southern California?
The San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant was built to withstand a
7-magnitude earthquake, whose epicenter would be within five miles of
the plant, according to Southern California Edison officials.
More problematic is the aptly named El Diablo Canyon Power Plant,
about 200 miles up the coast from Manhattana Beach in Avila Beach. It’s
a good place to build a power plant, except for four earthquake faults
in the vicinity.
The design was considered safe enough to resist shaking from the
nearby San Andreas Fault when construction began in 1968. But then a
new fault was discovered in 1973 three miles off shore, the Hosgri
fault.
And a few miles farther out, it had produced a 7.1-magnitude quake in 1927. Yet construction at El Diablo continued.
Tens of thousands of protestors gathered to block the plant's construction in 1979, according to reports in The Journal of American History. The
plant was ultimately finished with a design intended to withstand a
7.5-magnitude earthquake. It went online in the mid-1980s.
The nuclear power plant on the coast to the north of Manhattan
Beach, and the one to the south, are designed to resist a 7.5 and 7.0
quake respectively—to put this in perspective, the plants would be safe
in an earthquake the size of the one that hit Haiti last year.
They would not be safe in an earthquake as big as the one that leveled San Francisco in 1906, which was a 7.8-magnitude.
Because the Richter Scale is logarithmic, each whole number
represents a change in earthquake amplitude by a factor of 10, but that
only tells part of the story. As an estimate of energy expended by a
quake, each whole number represents about 31 times more energy than the
amount released by the previous number, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Experts are predicting that the next earthquake on the San Andreas Fault could reach 8.1-magnitude.

Jim Berkland Predicts Earthquake in California
He's been at this for a while, and did happen to publish something in the Santa Cruz Sentinal warning of a coming quake just days before Loma Prieta. He points to shifts in the Earth's magnetic fields, which he believes are responsible for the recent mass fish die-off in Redondo Beach, as a contributing factor to his prediction.[via SFist]
