I was planning to get a thread started regarding that earthquake. However, you got the ball rolling first on this.

Before the earthquake, a fairly large number of EM Signals were being detected each day. After it occurred they stopped, at least temporarily. My data indicate to me that a number of those signals were probably pointing to its approach. Several of those signals were Ear Tones.

Those data are being watched to determine if that earthquake is the one that has been responsible for some strong line peaks appearing recently on my Data.html Web page charts. The peaks were not in the 85 W area where the earthquake occurred. And that can make those determination efforts more difficult.

These EM Signals appear to be strongly affected by the distance between the fault zone and where the signals are being detected. So, a 4.0 magnitude earthquake occurring in the U.S. might generate EM Signals strong enough to be detected while a 6.0 earthquake occurring in Europe or Asia might not even though the 6 is 1000 times more powerful than the 4 if I understand the magnitude scale correctly.

Two forecasting efforts are highly active at the moment.

1. Free download updated versions of my Etdprog.exe earthquake forecasting program and support files are being gradually stored at one of my Web sites. One of the problems with that effort is that the Etdprog.exe program is still evolving rapidly. And it is difficult to keep the updates current.

2. Attempts are gradually being made to get governments and researchers around the world to take a stronger interest in developing earthquake forecasting technologies. Making that Etdprog.exe program available to them so they can forecast their own earthquakes is one part of the effort.
