Hi Dennis. No. No prediction is a waste of time. A prediction can be wrong, or it can be right. All I’m saying and asking is that for a prediction to be more useful to the masses it should be as precise as one can make it. If someone says to me that there is going to be a 7.0Ml quake in Hollister or within 100 miles in the next 10 days and there is an 85% chance of this I’m not going to be too concerned as the odds are in my favor that it won’t be in Hollister. The reason being is that there is a much larger area in those 100 miles for the quake to center in. Of course I could be wrong and it will center here. Take Care…Don in creepy town.
