Well, to be fair, several reports published before and after the 2004

overdue for a large destructive quake. Of course, they didn't make timing
predictions.

Predicting an earthquake, even a large one, *sometime* along the
ring of fire in the area around Indonesia and the Pacific islands
is like shooting fish in a barrel.

I wonder what the largest fish was shot in that barrel?
Is the 9.2 EQ the largest ever recorded? |
