An oarfish washed up on South Catalina Island on Monday, June 1, then the following day, the U.S. Geological Service reported an earthquake in the area with the center being just north of the oarfish.
Is it time to listen to the “messenger from the sea god’s palace”?
The Japanese say yes.
The giant oarfish (Regalecus glesne) is known in Japanese folklore as “ryugu no tsukai” – a messenger from Ryūjin, the dragon god of the sea, bearing warnings that some shaking is about to go on.
Coincidence? Tell that to the people who ignored 20 dead oarfish on beaches hit by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The off-shore faults run north up the California coast to Washington and beyond. That includes Oregon, where a number of earthquakes were recorded in its coastal waters on June 1. Does that date ring a bell?
The 17-foot oarfish that washed up on June 1 was larger than the 10-footer from October 2013. Is this a bigger warning? Are we going to wait until a record-setting 50-footer shows up before we decide to heed the message? Don’t forget, scientists have said that the release of carbon monoxide by underwater earthquakes could be poisoning the huge fish and causing them to beach and die.

I have a bad feeling about this, especially with all the activity we've seen from Mother Earth lately.
