The claim of one coming from 10/2-10/5 would not encompass one occurring on 9/29. Fail.
And as to predicting one, with an average of 18 earthquakes per year that measure above the 7.0
level, and only 6 having occurred so far this year, it is a statistical probability that
one would come soon.
I just had to reply to you
digger,
You may not know it but ever since i joined ATS i have been having "some" problems with predictions and prediction threads. Especially the webbot
technology is one i don't believe to be very accurate when it comes to predicting major geological events...
Failed prediction thread after failed prediction thread i stated that the webbot is about as accurate as a drunk taking a p*ss and by logical
reasoning you could achieve a better "hit-ratio"....(webbot has about a 25% hit ratio)
Untill last month were a thread was posted by
Nydsdan about the latest webbot prediction..
Quake Prediction: Sept 2-5
This prediction almost hit within the stated timeframe and in the estimated area (32th and 34the parallel north or south).....
So obviously all the webbot enthusiasts went nuts over their succes and although it wasn't exactly correct, i even have to admit it was close
enough....
So i set out to prove that "predicting" these events doesn't require a $10,- subscription to a bunch of clairvoyants who ,i suspect, use the same
scientific data as i did to "predict" these events......
People are too quick to hop on and accept a "prediction" as truth without looking at the science behind it.
You see the irony in this last statement?? This wasn't a genuine prediction but a prediction based upon scientific data....
- A low total amount of "earthquakes in the last 7 days" (< 160 )
- An upcoming full moon
- Anomalous quakes in the periode leading up to the next full moon
seem to be the decisive factors in "predicting" these events.
Peace
