What time duration? I dunno.
Let's say sometime before my 36th birthday, June 7th.
All I'm saying is that it's too quiet and logic dictates that something's gotta give.
I'm talking like 7.7 or bigger. Something significant.

Magnitude 7.0+ earthquakes happen somewhere a little over once a month on average, so that's a pretty safe prediction.

8.0+, about 1 per year.
It's threshold requirement would be to make global news headlines.

A 5 in New York would do that. A 6 in Los Angeles has done that.

Fair enough. 2 data points to be met. Time and magnitude.
But from 7.7 to 8.0+ is a big difference, as you are aware.

So 7.0+ ~12 per year, 8.0+ ~1 per year....Let's say ~2 per year then for 7.7+....Had a 7.7 in December......Still a safe bet.

Doesn't it double in energy or something like that each .1 it increases?
I won't cheat and look it up this time.
That's just what I vaguely remember.

Here's a 7.1 that made headlines a few hours ago. No devastation though.
