Update – July 16, 2013

The following earthquake has occurred:

2013/07/15 14:03:43 60.86S 25.14W 31 7.3 218km SSE of Bristol Island, South Sandwich Islands
NEIS Data

My forecasting computer programs cannot confirm that this is the earthquake responsible for the unusually strong EM Signal that was detected on July 11, 2013. The chart line shapes do not match. However, its shallow depth and fairly high magnitude indicate to me that it was likely the earthquake responsible for that signal.

It is possible to say the following:

1. After not posting any warnings or advisories for a while, on July 3, 2013 I posted an earthquake warning here. And the powerful Papua New Guinea earthquake (7.3 magnitude) occurred on July 7, 2013. So it was right within my usual 5 day Time Window. And that was the first really powerful earthquake to occur in a while.

The strong EM Signal detected on July 3, 2013 might have actually been linked directly or indirectly with both that earthquake and the 6.6 magnitude earthquake that occurred in that same general area a few hours later. That is because the second earthquake (aftershock ?) was fairly shallow while the first one was quite deep. And my theories and data indicate or propose that the EM Signals I work with are much stronger for shallow earthquakes.

2. A second earthquake warning was posted here on July 11, 2013. And again within my usual 5 day time window that second 7.3 magnitude earthquake occurred on July 15, 2013 in the South Sandwich Islands.

As I have said in the past, the Earthquake Warnings and Advisories posted here are largely intended to say to other researchers around the world:

“NOW is the time for you to check your local precursor data to see if a powerful earthquake might be about to occur in your part of the world.”

My forecasting programs are not sufficiently accurate at this time to always tell exactly where an expected earthquake is going to occur. But those two examples just mentioned and many others posted to this board in the past clearly show that these EM Signals are especially good at identifying the Time Windows during which a powerful earthquakes will occur.

These are personal opinions.
