The 6.8 Algeria earthquake happened at 36.89N, 3.78E on May 21, 2003 [1]. It killed 1,467 people and injured 7,000. Is it unpredictable? Yes, an earthquake cloud over Mid-East predicted it on Apr. 8, 2003 [2]. In addition, I had exhibited the cloud, and predicted its magnitude >=5.5 and time from Apr. 20 to Jul. 19 to the Public on Apr. 20. The both time and magnitude are correct. Some scientists may shout to me, 'You did not predict the epicenter!' No, I did not, but I had written an essay to explain the problems interrupting my work, and appeal "It is necessary and urgent to create a new satellite data system to overcome those satellite data problems for earthquake prediction. Otherwise, people will dig or will be dug after a devastating earthquake continuously [3],[4]. The Society offers $10 billion budget a year to do a lot of studies for predictions, but ignores my appeal. Unfortunately, no study offers a precursor like mine [2] for the tragedy. As a result, some people dug, and some others were dug just as what I had depicted. |
