Don's New Zealand forecast - events
Posted by lowell on April 17, 2002 at 21:22:29:

Don did not enter the Tax Day contest officially, but he did have a forecast which looks
like a pretty good match - #14605 for North Island New Zealand.
Don had expected a Ml 3.0-4.0 between April 11 and 15 at 39.0S 174.3E (within 65 km).
There was a lot of activity in that general region in the past 3 days - for a summary
see today's earthquake summary report. The two events of Ml 4.8 are the largest shallow
earthquakes in that region in about 15 years and certainly within the past 2 years. Of
course, they will not get listed in the CNSS catalog, so they would not be eligible for
consideration. But you might want to check out the New Zealand listing at:

Just for kicks and screams.

Or check out the Quick Epicenter Determinations (USGS) - there is one there
on 14 April which is pretty close to Don's forecast epicenter
