earthquake prediction right?
Some UCLA Geophysicist had predicted in April 2004 that an earthquake atleast of power 6.4 will strike Southern California before Sept 5, 2004.
Hmm, did the prediction work?
The list of worthwide significant earthquakes shows only one significant earthquake in california in this year, which is the one that occurred on September 28.
Well, if this one is considered as the earthquake he predicted, the prediction went wrong for many reasons
- the earthquake occurred on Sept 28, 23 days after his deadline
- the earthquake occurred in Central CA, and not southern CA
- the earthquake measured 6.0, so was less than 6.4
Another earthquake prediction gone awry.
