Out of sympathy for the many people who lost loved ones in that Algeria earthquake I do not want to go into detail regarding my data analyses at this point in time. I will mention the following:

If you draw time lines for that earthquake and the powerful May 19 earthquake in the Mexico area on a copy of my Web site 2003.html chart you will see that their characteristics match those of the destructive February 24, 2003 earthquake in China. My 90-03.html chart which has not yet been stored at the site indicates to me that earthquakes are probably often occurring according to certain patterns like that.

On May 12 I posted a note here stating that I was watching for a significant earthquake. It presently appears to me that this one may have been responsible for a number of warning type signals which I detected going back quite a ways in time. Around May 13 I circulated e-mail earthquake warnings to a fair number of groups around the world. And I hope that it made it possible for them to at least respond a little more quickly to the earthquake.
