As far as I know, you can't predict an earthquake..

I predict on Sept. 16 and 17 there will be an eatthquake in Japan magnitude 7.1 on the TARO Scale.
I also predict that there will be an earthquake in the next hour in Japan...'cause there are earthquakes by the hundreds every day here. See the List at the MDN

Seriously, I searched for an hour and found no hot rumor about M7.1 for next week.


Here's a list of all the world's earthquakes for the month at the USGS Real-time Earthquake Bulletin

I think you would need at LEAST 2 Gigs.

Taro, get that plane ticket ready. There's more here.

this forecaster has a 30-percent chance of being right. That was a high enough probability to have him booking flight tickets. Hey, most people carry umbrellas when the forecast calls for a 30-percent chance of rain.

Oh great .......I am taking the night bus to Tokyo over night on the 17th - that means I will be crushed under concrete from a collapsing kokudo

Yeah, 2 gigs would be very cool! But I would rather start out with the below array and then add more racks in the near future:

Japanese scientists predicted big quake on island
USGS calls forecast 'bull's-eye' after 8.0 Hokkaido temblor

Just six months ago, Japanese scientists forecast the huge earthquake that hit Japan Thursday.
Using techniques broadly similar to those used by U.S. scientists to anticipate future quakes in the Bay Area, the Japanese scientists estimated a 60 percent probability of an 8.1 magnitude quake in the vicinity of Japan's Tokachi Plain on the island of Hokkaido over the next 30 years.
A quake measuring 8.0 magnitude hit Thursday within the boundaries of the designated region, a 100-by-150-mile area that the scientists called "Region B, " just offshore from the Tokachi Plain.

"This is the bull's-eye," said Ross Stein, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey office in Menlo Park. "This is a direct hit -- I would say that without any qualification. I think we need to say that this looks like a very successful forecast."

The forecast was made in March by the Japanese government's Earthquake Research Promotion Committee...."Bear in mind that because this was a probabilistic forecast, you cannot prove that either they were right or wrong by the occurrence of one forecast"
