Hi Russell. Have to agree with you. The reason I get more little quakes is that there are more little quakes then there are big ones. The data I use is pretty consistent in getting the location and time, but does absolutely nothing for the magnitude of the expected quake.

For the most part I have 2/3 of the problem solved, but I’m no closer to that remaining 1/3 now then I was 6 years ago.

The best thing anyone can do is to prepare for the next major quake. In doing so it won’t matter whether it is predicted or not. In some areas maybe earthquake prediction is the only way to go. Those areas would be areas that a sneeze would bring the roof down. Most of those areas are in the Middle East, but we also have some in the US. From what I have seen I don’t think there is any country that is 100% prepared for the next major quake.

People have to be taught what to do before, during and after a major quake. Learning this is done from past quakes. Not everything is foolproof and there is only so much anyone can do, but by not preparing we are only inviting a disaster. Take Care…Don in creepy town
