I was curious what the chances for success in the contest are given the historical activity following the 34 earthquakes in northern Chile of Mw>=6.5 in the past century. Here are some approximate summary statistics for those who would still like to make a prediction. Following earthquakes of Mw>=6.5 in Northern Chile, the following approximate probabilities for a felt event occur based on historical coincidence of Chile and subsequent events: Central Plains (Oklahoma, Nebraska, So. Dakota, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, New Madrid); within 10 days: 50% within 15 days: 65% Southeast Central U.S. (Tennessee, No. Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania): within 10 days: 28% within 15 days: 30% New England within 10 days: 12% within 15 days: 18% New England within 10 days: 12% within 15 days: 18% Ontario/Quebec within 10 days: 25% within 15 days: 36% Western Plains (Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico) within 10 days: 12% within 15 days: 12% California/Mexico Border (M>=5.5) within 10 days: 10% within 15 days: 10% Dixie Valley Nevada area (M>=6.0) within 10 days: 10% within 15 days: 10% Following are the events that ocurred after strong Chile events in the U.S. dates, magnitudes and time delays between Chile and subsequent U.S. shock for your interest. 4 26 21 43 0 1905 -21.000 -70.000 60 7.0 8 --> 4 29 1905 37.3N 79.5W Ml 3.2 Virginia (TD=3 days) 8 30 2 38 34 1906 -21.000 -70.000 60 7.2 8 --> 9 07 1906 38.2N 87.7W Ml 3.8 Illinois/Indiana (TD 10 days) 10 4 23 0 6 1910 -22.000 -69.000 120 7.3 8 --> 10 20 1910 44.3N 68.8W Ml 3.0 Maine (15 days) --> 10 25 1910 48.3N 69.0W Ml 4.2 New Brunswick (21 days) 8 25 9 44 42 1916 -21.000 -68.000 180 7.5 8 --> 8 26 1916 36.0N 81.0W ML 3.8 No. Carolina (TD 10 hours) 3 28 3 57 54 1922 -21.000 -68.000 90 7.2 8 --> 3 30 1922 35.4N 86.7W Ml 3.1 Tennessee (TD 2 days) --> 3 30 1922 36.8N 82.3W Ml 3.1 North Carolina (TD 2 days) --> 3 30 1922 36.1N 89.6W Ml 4.2 New Madrid (TD 2 days) --> 3 30 1922 36.5N 82.2W Ml 3.3 North Carolina (TD 3 days) 10 3 23 55 52 1927 -21.000 -68.000 100 6.5 0 --> 10 8 1927 35.1N 85.3W Ml 2.7 Tennessee (TD 4 days) --> 10 8 1927 35.1N 85.3W Ml 4.2 Tennessee (TD 5 days) 10 19 10 12 52 1929 -23.000 -69.000 100 7.5 8 --> 10 21 1929 39.0N 96.8W Ml 4.2 Kansas (TD 2 days) --> 10 23 1929 39.0N 96.8W Ml 3.2 Kansas (TD 4 days) --> 10 28 1929 34.3N 82.4W Ml 3.3 North Carolina (TD 9 days) 7 18 5 27 5 1931 -22.500 -69.000 150 6.8 0 --> 7 18 1931 36.6N 89.9W Ml 3.8 New Madrid (TD 1 days) --> 7 24 1931 47.4N 71.0W Ml 3.0 So.
