My experience

Hi all!

It is my duty to convey my experience about today's Algerian quake.

Since I have shifted my house / observatory recently very close to the
old one but in the upstairs. Because of that now I am able to registering
the sun shadow one hour in advance in the morning time.

Accordingly I have started my prediction work only from 19th May due
to recent cyclonic storm over Bay of Bengal. On 20th May I got a great
dip in the expanded hour of prediction which indicated a formation of a
good(!) quake. Since it was registered in the beginning of my unscheduled
time, I expected the quake over Pacific-US region and accordingly I posted
in my website as 5+M quake considering the initial sun shadow look.

On 21st incident, when I was followed the shadow, the dip clearly indicated
that it was exceeding 6+M. Accordingly I have posted the severity of the
quake in my site. I was expected shortly after noticed its stress released
pattern.

Today, I was out of station due to attending a marriage and I saw
about the 6.8M Algerian quake in the evening dailies over there.

Here I would like to convey that the expected quake occurred with in the
time schedule and magnitude but the location directly opposite (Western
side). At the same time I have noticed it occurred more or less in the
expected distance from my observatory.

As usual I am repeating that such type of excuses can be eliminated if this
method properly taken up universally and save the people at least in future.
