There are always people who claim there is going to be some catastrophic event. Most are just crackpots. Sometimes they're right, but even so, most of them are still crackpots who just got lucky. Unfortunately, the only way to prove that his method works, is for him to be proven right multiple times.

The article doesn't really tell the whole story. Has he published any of his work in any scientific journals or anything? How did he come to this method? Did he try going through the proper channels or did he just skip straight to public warnings?

I agree the article is misleading, and his scientific findings are incredible if proven true, but the fact that he was able to predict with in 30 days a significant earthquake via a scientific method is what is incredible to me....

and I understand the people he was warning were politicians and not scientists....

It would indeed be great if he was really on to something.

Yeah I agree with you guys. A clock with broken hands is still right twice per day. He'd have to predict more of these. and he should have taken his findings to other scientists to get a scientific consensus rather than going at it alone. That being said even if the politicians listed to him what would they have done? Evacuated the city for a month??
