Earthquake Prediction by Tiempe

Earth Sensitive quake predictions

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

*For Saturday, 29 September 2012.















LEGEND for OVERVIEW: Size = My surety of area for quake.
Red Circle = Probable quake to STRONG quake.
Triangle = Very Strong/Stronger quake (Usually takes extra days).
Blue Circle, etc. = Uncertainty of symptom area for probable quake.  
Gold Circle = Volcanic symptom.   
(I will give a probable magnitude.)

Places to watch.

Good luck to all.

The scientists and other experts in Italy who have been in the dock for years for failing to adequately convey seismic risk to the residents of L'aquila prior to their April 9, 2009 M 6.3 earthquake were found guilty and handed four year jail sentences.

This profoundly disturbing, though an appeal will be forthcoming.

Hi John,

Yes. I've known that for many months.

However, don't take this personally, but I think the science community let the guys down.

One avenue that was never employed was "global activism" and that could have been accomplished by more press from the science community voicing public disdain for such an outrageous set of circumstances. And to that end Global Voices could have stepped in "if asked" and they have huge resources and power where it matters.

To think that one Chinese blogger who complained about unsafe schools in China and was jailed could be aided by persons from nearly every government's dignitaries around the world, yet for the science guys in Italy no one goes to bat for them in a serious way and in my book on injustice it earns the science community a black eye.

Though I realize science folks are not big on offering demonstrations on matters of injustice. I've only heard of one prior case regarding the Chagos matter of habitation where two scientists got up and walked out of a meeting because the island residents who needed to be in attendance to make an important decision were not invited.

Yet, just months before the Emilia, Italy quakes one scientist from Switzerland who was in residence in Italy and had been their science orgs director stated in the press he didn't think anything of import was going to occur in the region following the quakes in Verona and Parma.

He was wrong and it was more likely than not a larger quake was going to occur as it had been 92 years since the last event and with two already coming up the Appenine Ridge, why not. But did they arrest him when Emilia went? No. But they gave him a job in the Civil Protection Agency at a rate of pay he found accommodating.

So now the Calabrian Arc is going active and who's leading their science org? A man with a degree in physical education. It's truly outlandish. I guess he can say in all honesty he has no idea what may occur if someone calls on him while he says "soccer anyone?"

The whole thing stinks to high heaven, but some of you could have made a difference and you left those guys hanging out to dry.

So remember these words when the time comes "The pen is mightier than the sword."

"A man with a degree in physical education."

Physics. Slightly different than physical education.

"The whole thing stinks to high heaven, but some of you could have made
a difference and you left those guys hanging out to dry."

A bit harsh and hysterical. It is a political problem, which is why they are
likely to be exonerated at the next level. Italian prosecutors have reacted
poorly to Americans lecturing them on their medieval justice system.

Hi John,

Apparently you don't read the Italian press or perhaps other global press. The new director of INGV is in fact a man with a degree in physical education.

When he was selected it made news and it came with comments from scientists including the scientist who had been their director for 30 years and they could not believe such a decision had been made with an emphasis that they are monitoring seven active volcanoes in that country and he would not know how to steer the direction of anything.

Though I have to say he's truly eye candy. Light hair, youthful, nice tan, good physique; what else does one need?

Hi Petra!

Yep, I agree with you, but you seem on fire on this issue. Maybe you needed to be the first point of light? I know you've followed this one so closely, and I've appreciated the updates. Sometimes an out of country perspective can help.

Is this the sign of the times for Italy; an offshoot of McCarthyism: free speech is being cutailed for fear of being labelled a "terrorist"? Maybe this is why no one in the country is speaking up. Fear of retaliation.

I am somewhat surprised, and discouraged by this outcome. Do they lynch meteorologists for poor weather forecasting or when floods occur? Or city planners when someone gets killed by an automobile? This bodes ill for the sciences and the scientists in Italy.

Disquieting portents of things to come our way next?

hope not!

Hi Marc,

I have been on fire since day one and I pushed the envelope in every direction one could go in to seek relief for those men and I've prayed for them every night, yet it was not to be.

Twice when direct warnings were issued people ignored them, yet 300,000 in Rome took a holiday a few months ago based upon a rumored warning from a long dead scientist from back in the 1920's.

I take it as a test of faith, yet it is the same elsewhere; crazy useless warnings are issued all of the time and it feels like prediction is a spectator sport awaiting the blood and guts seen at the Coliseum in Rome.

However, the powers that be inside of science circles wish to ignore precursory research. If they had started twenty or thirty years ago they'd have something on the table today, thus we have no progress.

But we'll get there. I have not lost faith nor direction either.

Hi All,

I am full of consternation. It was inconceivable to me that they were even 'trying' these scientists for manslaughter! It's nuts!

Mother Earth does what has to be done and humans get an inkling but have little control over the matter.

Talk about killing the messenger!!!

There is nothing on this Earth that is certain and to convict these people of not-enough-warning is stupid!!

Really stupid!!

You can only give possible alerts. Nothing is certain.

I can understand the pain of people who lost family and friends but blaming innocents does nothing to heal that.

Lordy, the travesties on this Earth just seem to proliferate!

God bless us all!

I'd be interested in what might have transpired if
they said there would be an earthquake and then there
wasn't one. the panic looting and economic impacts may
have been substantial and would they have been liable in
that scenario?
Damned if they did or didn't?
Perhaps they need a proper mandate of their exact job
description so they know what they are allowed to do.

Subject: Re: Ethical EQ prediction


Hi Martin,

It already happened. During the quake swarm in the area of L'Aquila a scientist (not geoscientist), Giampaolo Guiliani issued a prediction for a M 6.0 quake based upon radon readings he was testing in Gran Sasso, 18 kms from L'Aquila.

Unfortunately he had never issued a prediction before and thus he missed the window and was poor on the radius, thus it didn't happen when he suggested. But the authorities came after him and told him to take his warning off of his web site and while people left Gran Sasso they went to L'Aquila for a week sending them into the heart of where the earthquake was to occur. Then they came back and the earthquake occurred. There was no looting during their absence.

Scientists say radon is not a good indicator of impending quakes, but in the end Guiliani received funding from NASA-Goddard to continue his research.
