My forecasts are almost always for potentially destructive earthquakes. I am using my own data to generate them. The types that I use can be seen at my Web site. If there is time I may try to contact a few other people and ask them if they are expecting an earthquake. Except for an occasional research related forecast which may be discussed here or elsewhere, most are sent to a small number of people, government officials etc. who as far as I know have never discussed them in public. One government might have acknowledged one after the earthquake occurred. I consider my precursor data quality to be perhaps 10 to 100 times higher than ear tones and have never circulated a forecast based solely on ear tone data. However, if that is all that a person has to work with then he or she does not have much choice. I did not know that you have a Web site. If you post its address I will add it to my Earthquake Forecasting Resources Web page. In the past it was the most frequently visited page at my own site.

At the moment my interest in ear tones is largely to see if other people’s precursor data can work with the type of forecasting program I am running. If so then I expect that it might be possible for governments etc. to create their own forecasting programs which would rely on earthquake sensitivity types of data collected from people around the world. I have not had time to evaluate any of the data stored at Canie’s ear tone page since last year. The forecasting program I am running is highly complex and requires tremendous amounts of time to operate and modify. That is the main reason I have not been posting too many notes here.
