looked at the George Mason paper

Pretty sketchy at best. The key figure, the surface heat flux across the time interval of the one earthquake presented as an example, is the size of a postage stamp such that the axis is nearly unreadable. If I decoded the numbers right, the "surface latent heat flux" varied between 0 and 200 W/M-squared in a few days in early June, according to their curve. As heat flow is usually roughly 100 milliwatts per meter squared, these numbers are unusual. The "3-sigma" anomaly prior to the earthquake comes from some kind of wavelet transform, apparently with an amplitude of 50 W/M-squared.

Wild and unlikely stuff. The other earthquake prediction papers are from Bulgaria, India, Russia, and Mexico.
