I predict...Again

[Marko]

Seems to me your last prediction turned out to be a flop. You should learn from Nostradamus and not put such a fine timeline on these. Maybe like "I predict...after the summer of rain". That way, if it happens next year or the year after, etc. you might be right.

+1 - You are a better photographer than a predictor Maw...(and I survived all the identical tales of doom from my own youth as previously mentioned).

Maybe so but I have still twelve hours before I have to admit it

[Michaelaw]

Well it looks like another strike for Nostramaw but I've still got 4hrs There have been some quakes in places that don't see them a lot but other than that

[Iguanasan]

Don't give up hope yet...there's still 3 hours and 45 minutes to go!

[Michaelaw]

Yes but the event I thought maybe the trigger started 4 hrs ago so I'm not hopeful. Much better me being wrong though than more calamity on the earth which we can do without just now

OK so I said if I was wrong I'd post my theory anyway. My theory which is mine is the following...Dinosaurs are thin at one end, thick in the middle and then thin again at the other end! This is my theory which is mine.

Monty Python aside...I have an avid interest in quakes, what causes them. Is it simply tectonic plate shift? Over time, I have noticed a correlation between sun activity during coronal mass ejections (CME's) and either the strength or population of quakes on the globe. We had an m-class 7 on the 2nd or third of this month blasted directly at us and Nasa predicted its arrival on the 5th or 6th. We had no major quake, I was flat out wrong...But!...We had a jump in the days to follow in EQ frequency, jumping from 239 to 300 on the USGS 7 day quake map. This however could be mere coincidence. I haven't given up on my theory though so I'm going to keep watching, analyzing and yes...Predicting. Just for fun, lets see if I ever get one right! If I only ever get one right then we just carry on assuming I'm nuts. You will all get a silly form of entertainment and I will have conveniently logged in a search able forum my guesswork/predictions in a crude database for future analysis


UPDATE...No large quakes predicted in the near future!

[Marko]

That's okay Maw, nobody on our board except you fears these predictions...my bad

[Michaelaw]

I don't fear the predictions, only the methodology

We just had a 3.3 36 miles north of here. The cat's are like "Yeh, we'll let you know if anythings comin our way"

Nice! Keep predicting... I'm sure you'll get one right eventually

[Michaelaw]

One would never cut it Iggy, to close to coincidence.
