Hi all! It is my duty to convey my experience about today's Algerian quake. Since I have shifted my house / observatory recently very close to the old one but in the upstairs. Because of that now I am able to registering the sun shadow one hour in advance in the morning time. Accordingly I have started my prediction work only from 19th May due to recent cyclonic storm over Bay of Bengal. On 20th May I got a great dip in the expanded hour of prediction which indicated a formation of a good(!) quake. Since it was registered in the beginning of my unscheduled time, I expected the quake over Pacific-US region and accordingly I posted in my website as 5+M quake considering the initial sun shadow look. On 21st incident, when I was followed the shadow, the dip clearly indicated that it was exceeding 6+M. Accordingly I have posted the severity of the quake in my site. I was expected shortly after noticed its stress released pattern. Today, I was out of station due to attending a marriage and I saw about the 6.8M Algerian quake in the evening dailies over there. Here I would like to convey that the expected quake occurred with in the time schedule and magnitude but the location directly opposite (Western side). At the same time I have noticed it occurred more or less in the expected distance from my observatory. As usual I am repeating that such type of excuses can be eliminated if this method properly taken up universally and save the people at least in future. Shan
