That is quite a story Mark. I am not sure why the magnetic field was modulated prior to an EQ but I could readily expect that behavior during one. The measurements your friend performed might have indicated that movement of the earth was slowly occurring over a very large fault distance and I have read somewhere long ago that slow creep of the fault sides happens sometimes.
The problem of knowing when these movements precede large quakes seems to be difficult to pin down. Crying wolf too many times is not good for your health! I know that many knowledgeable geologists have been seeking a technique to predict dangerous quakes for many years but they suggest that none has been found. If your friend has discovered a simple trick that works, he should be ready to demonstrate it to these guys. Please do not tell me that EQ geologists behave like physicists when the subject of LENR is brought up.

Hi Dave, EQ prediction is possible with very low frequency geomagnetic monitoring… http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg47319.html Is it any surprise that when the earth fractures, or is under stress to the point of fracture, it causes disturbances in its mag-field? -Mark From: David Roberson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Mischaracterizations of verdict against seismologists. If prediction of earthquakes were a solid accurate science then perhaps they should be punished, but that is clearly not the situation. No one has been able to reliably make such a prediction with anything that resembles regularity so these poor guys should not be held in too much disregard. I think that it would be prudent to ask ones self how many times has a series of small quakes occurred when a major event did not follow up? Throwing the dice would likely be as accurate as quake science is currently in this field. Anyone is capable of predicting that a major earthquake is going to occur in California soon. The pattern has been established if you look at the behavior of the "ring of fire". Should everyone evacuate the area because of the danger? Who should we incarcerate when it happens? Dave
