Just came in.

Funny though - people elsewhere are reporting some interesting things happening in Calif. right now - keep your eye's on that area for the next few days.

Yeah, the bot said one would happen yesterday (which I never relayed - due to last time)

But I will go ahead and stick my neck out - they said to expect another of same mag. today somewhere.

You missed your mark by a little ways. So I'd call this another failed prediction...

Where were your predictions for the 6.1 eq that hit on Saturday? How about the other 6.1 that hit on Sunday?

It seems that the ONLY day since Saturday that there was not a 6.0+ EQ was yesterday....Tuesday...the day you "went ahead and stuck your neck out" and predicted one....somewhere,
