Don, on May 27, 1998 I posted a note to several Internet Newsgroups including sci.geo.earthquakes which stated in plain view of people around the world that I was watching for earthquake activity possibly in Iran or Afghanistan to occur by May 30, 1998. And although I avoided stating this at the time in a public forum like that I was expecting that the earthquake could be quite destructive.

On May 30, 1998 a powerful earthquake in Afghanistan reportedly claimed some 5000 lives.

In my opinion, in order to prove that you can predict earthquakes you need to circulate an accurate forecast like that in public only once. And it is then it is up to the skeptics to prove that it was not a valid forecast. In this case I believe that that cannot be done. If you wish to try to do that then be my guest. But stating that you do not have access to the Newsgroups to confirm that I posted that note there does not in my opinion constitute a valid response.

Finally, each of those data points stored in the table at my 131.html Web site represents, I believe, a short duration electromagnetic energy field pulse which was generated in a fault zone somewhere which was getting ready to fracture. And so, each of those data entries represents a type of earthquake forecast. The trick is to use the data to tell where the fault zone is located. Those data do not have any directional component which I can presently use. And as I said before, it can take me two full days time to use my present computer programs to generate and circulate a single forecast. For that reason I am presently trying to do that only when I think that one our relatively rare catastrophic earthquakes is about to occur.
