Hi EQF. You’re a little late with this. This equipment as been used in California for more then 30 years and for more then 40 years in Japan. It is only good for the immediate surrounding areas. It will not predict and earthquake more then the range it's capable of covering. In this case it is about 35 miles. The to get the proper coverage needed they would need an package about every 20 miles and at the cost of $100,000.00 to $250,000 per hole for the instrument package and then the cost of maintaining the equipment would mean more money. Still it is a step in the right direction as long as the money is available. Take Care…Don in creepy town
