Hi Dave, EQ prediction is possible with very low frequency geomagnetic monitoring.
http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/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:dlrober...@aol.com] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 3:11 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com 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
