Not so much the predictive aspect...

Hello,

More to do with if there has been a history of this many 5 mags in this particular location. I don't think anybody knows for sure if this is indicative of larger seismicity. My question has to do if this many have been recorded so fast in the same location. It looks like there is no answer. Much larger seismicity has happened in this same region over 100 years ago, but nobody was prepared nor instrumented to record that. This leaves us with an enigma fully wrappped up within another enigma. No predictive (rational) analysis possible.
