It is impossible to predict earthquakes like that. It IS possible to predict earthquakes within a much larger time frame, for instance, predicting a 6.0-7.0 earthquake sometime in the next century.

Keep in mind that if this guy really could predict earthquakes, wouldn’t he be working for the government or a big corporation, rather than making youtube videos?

Anyway, don’t worry about earthquakes. A 6.8 earthquake is pretty substantial, but in California we have very good building codes so you will be safe.
