They can actually predict where the next "big" one will hit in an area of a particular fault line based on stress levels with in the rock layers. They did that in Turkey a few years ago. It hit right where they said it would. They just can't predict when a quake will hit.
There have been three big quakes in the ring of fire in last 18 Months..Chile, New Zealand and Japan...next would be Alaska or California..if we stayed with the pattern. Plus you had that massive one in Malaysia in 2004 wich may have been the trigger event for this whole series.
