Hi e. Your words.

“I have looked at the data for just a relatively few earthquakes now. But I believe that it did an excellent job of detecting the approach of a number of California earthquakes, the one in Bam, Iran last December, the recent powerful one in Fiji, and the deadly one which just occurred in China (about 4 fatalities and at least 500 injured).”

Just a quick question. Why did all those people in Bam, Iran die. Didn’t you send the government a warring, or did they choose to ignore it because you have no track record of making a correct prediction? Come to think of it you have no track record of making a prediction of any kind.

Didn’t the people in China listen to you, or didn’t you send them a warning and if you did then why does it appear that no one paid any attention to it?

Which number of quakes did you predict for California and where can one find those predictions?

You keep saying you are going to send warnings out, but I guess you never get around to it, because it looks like people are still dieing from earthquakes because they were taken by surprise as they weren’t prepared for it. Take Care…Don in creepy town

SHANGHAI, China - Relief workers were rushing tents and other supplies to more than 126,000 people left homeless by an earthquake in China's southwest that killed at least four people, officials and news reports said Thursday.

Nearly 600 people were injured in the magnitude-5.6 quake on Tuesday evening, centered on Ludian county in Yunnan province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The temblor collapsed 18,556 houses, including mud-and-wood dwellings that were damaged by temblors last November in the earthquake-prone region, Xinhua said. It said nearly one-third of the county's 370,000 people lost their homes.

More than 200 of those injured were in serious condition and hospitals were struggling to cope, medical officials said.

Casualty wards at the No. 1 People's Hospital in the nearby city of Zhaotong were filled to capacity and some injured were being placed in other clinics, said a woman in the hospital's administrative office.

"Our doctors are just managing to keep up but there are so many injured," said the woman, who wouldn't give her name. She said army doctors were sent from Shanghai to help out.
