Posted by Lowell on March 01, 2002 at 00:11:53:

Time is coming due to check out some of Don's Forecasts. The first which is now near completion of the
Time was for Washoe, Nevada. Don had forecast an event as follows (The complete forecast is attached
At the end of this comment.)

Forecast within 35 km of:
27 Feb 2002 +/- 2 days 39.3N 119.7W Ml 2-3

The following event is listed by the UNR earthquake center (see below for link):

26 Feb 2002 00:16:59 39.4N 119.6W Ml 1.8

This event lies within 15 km of the forecast location, is one day early, but within the stated time
Window, but is slightly smaller 1.8 instead of 2.0 Ml. Beat that if you can.

Hi All. I decided to gamble on this one.

Looking for a 2.0 to 3.0 quake at 39.3N/119.7W. This is about 8Km east of New Washoe City, Nevada. Should occur on 02/27/2002. The window will open on 02/25/2002 and will close on 03/01/2002. The radius on this will be 35Km. Take Care…Don in creepy town
