My name is Charlotte King and I am the Pioneer of Biological Earthquake Forecasting..

I prefer to use the name “ forecasting “ vs prediction because all my “ forecast “ are based on past experiences and that is all I can go on.. I am 70 years old and was born in Salem Oregon in August 1946 the second of four children of my parents.  I guess I had a normal childhood but my Aunt Alberta told me one time, “ when you were about 2 years old, you used to be playing with toys and all the sudden stand totally still and turn your head as if you were hearing something and were turning your head to find the source of what you were hearing” She said “ I thought you might be empty upstairs ” a nice way of saying I was crazy but she was a awesome aunt. My mom told me that I would scream and cover my ears each time I would hear the steam train going through town, the vacuum running or even water going down a drain. So perhaps even at the age of 2, I was already picking up the sounds that I somehow blocked out and they came back to me in 1976 and changed my life forever.   When the sounds began to be heard by me, in May 1976, I was surprised, shocked and totally determined to find the source of the sound. After numerous tests and visits to my home from the DEQ, Oregon State University on two occasions, and eventually the USEPA. No one has been able to identify the source of the sound.

To say “the sound” as I call it changed my life is an understatement. When it first began it was just there but soon it was everywhere and then I began to notice changes in the rhythm of “ the sound “ and variations in the tone. In June 1979 “the sound” changed and I called our local television station in Portland KATU Channel 2 and asked if something was happening. I had been calling them on and off with the changes I was noticing in “ the sound ” and watching to see what happened 3 days later, so when they said “ Nothing is happening” I couldn’t let it go, I knew something was happening. A few hours later, the news carried reports of a major beaching of Sperm Whales off the Southern Oregon coast at Florence, 41 massive creatures died. I was waiting to see what would happen in 3 days and 3 days later there was a series of moderate quakes in Big Bear CA.. it all began to make sense. The whales heard the same sound I heard, they became confused, perhaps in pain and beached and then the quakes hit in Big Bear. So it all began to fit together like pieces of a puzzle..a “the sound” changed, the whales beached the quakes hit. It was not a coincidence. So far all I was experiencing was sound but that was about to change.  I am best known for my accurate prediction of the major eruption of Mt St Helens.  I called the televison station in Portland Oregon the evening before the  eruption, and talked to the Assignment Editor as well as the night anchor and told them to log my call for 8:20 PM and that Mt St Helens would blow within 12 hours or less.  The  next morning May 18, 1980 we all know what happened.

Since that time I have made hundreds if not thousands of accurate quake, volcanic eruption and or solar events/ forecast.  Most notable were Mexico, 1985 Loma Prieta, CA, 1989, Landers, CA 1992, Northridge CA 1994, Indonesia 2004, Chile 2010 and Japan in 2011.. and many many more. 

I was part of a volunteer project aptly named " Project Migraine " which was a project started by Biologist Dr Chris Dodge * deceased * of the US Library of Congress, CRS .... together we worked to inform the public and others that predicting quakes was no longer " impossible " because I was doing it. Not by the usual means of maps and experience as a geologist but my physical and painful body symptoms. 

I had connected each of my body's reaction to a quake in a specific location and each time that symptom showed up, a quake would hit that area within 12-72 hrs or less.  This is not unique to me.. thousands if not hundreds of thousands feel these symptoms but they did not know what they meant.    What I did was show them that the symptoms precursors for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  

The government sent me to 3 other states and had specific testing done to confirm my sensitivity.

In Hyperbaric Decompression Chambers, Seattle, WA, The Anechoic Chambers,Sacramento, CA,  Therm-O-Gram research Facility in Modesto, CA, and the US Bureau of Standards, Magnetic Testing Labs, Boulder CO.

I have lectured to Emergency Mangement Groups, Colleges, Geology Classes, American Red Cross and IEEE among others..

Now 40 years later I am still sharing my information with others, and helping others to learn what all the unexplained pains and symptoms might mean in the absensce of medical problems.  I have a free email update I try to send out once a week, sometimes its a bit off due to how I am feeling with current quake activity.  I also have my blog which I try to update several times a week..

In recent years I have begun to experience major symptoms which as bad as St Helens was in the beginning, makes it seem like a walk in the park.

Now I also react to solar activities.. I pick them up about 12-24 hours give or take 12 hrs before they happen. This includes CME/s Partial or Full Halo's, and filament collapses.   As bad as the quake and volcanic symptoms were for St Helens the symptoms for the sun are or can be far worse.

With St Helens I have spent many hours in the emergency rooms of hospitals in 3 states but with the solar etc symptoms it was bad enough they had to call a ambulace to take me to the hospital. I was not able to breathe..

With the increase in activites the last few years, there are more and more people who are finding themselves experiencing symptoms and then once they learn the locations, they are also able to tie the events together.

With the geothermal drilling in the last 10 years or more the quakes have increased in many locations, including Oregon, Oklahoma, California and Turkey/Italy and others..  finally the scientsts are starting to connect the dots I put together back in 1980 ...

So I continue to watch, log symptoms,  sounds and share the information with others as a mentor on at least one private FB sight and contributor on another.. I have a Free Email Update and I also have my blog.  I do not charge for any of these services ... but I do accept donations and have a pay pal account...

I am always available via email, text and or cell phone.. 503-999-5745 * its ok to post my private number * note, I found out that it is free to text to anywhere, any country if you have text coverage on your service and its free... I can't call out of the country but I can text. 

I have a paper copy of information I used to sell for 25$  including shipping 17 pages but I am in the process of translating it into a digital format which I will send the file for $15.00 or available on disc for $20.00 including shipping this is a combination of the background of The Charlotte King Effect, as well as a list of symptoms vs locations and tying it all together.
