Hi Martin. I haven’t seen one prediction made by you or anyone else for that matter that I would act upon. The reason being is that they are too vague. If the location (lat/long. principal landmark), day (plus or minus two days) and magnitude (plus or minus one whole magnitude for any quake over 6.0M) were given and the person making the prediction had a proven track record of 95% or better I might take notice.

The reason for my position in this manner is that most companies can ill afford to shut down for 5 or more days every time someone says there is going to be a 7.0M or larger quake in the area. Most people can’t afford to stay away from work let alone leave the area every time a warning is issued.

I sincerely hope you don’t take this as a put down, or feel that it is meant to discourage you from making predictions. What I hope it does do is cause you and others to be much more precise in your predictions. Take Care…Don in creepy town.
