I know I'm way late, sorry for reviving a thread that's been dead a couple of weeks. I wanted to address the snake-oil man with some numbers, though.

this is a list of all the 5.5+ earthquakes that hit across the globe for the month of March. granted, this is all over the world, but the vast majority happened in and around Japan, if you take a gander at the latitude and longitude. the 9.0 was at 38.30 lat 142.37 long, and if you look down the lat and long columns, you can see which ones are relatively close to those numbers and which were way off.

there were 225 5.5+ earthquakes all over the world for the month of march. as said, vast majority near Japan. even if we knocked it down and said only HALF of those were near Japan - still over 100 quakes of 5.5+, this would still be ridiculous. four of them were above 7.0 in the region. so...which earthquake was it that you predicted? if you want to pat yourself on the back for forecasting a 5.5+ earthquake in the region - one?! - go right ahead, I'll just keep laughing. you're not doing anyone any sort of service here.

in other news...well...we got a small blurb over here that there were new problems arising at Fukushima (while this site was down), and now the news is quiet again. what's going on over there?



thnx boboloko for the sig!
