Does anyone believe that scientists will be able to accurately forecast earthquakes in our lifetime(s)?
Really, many of our local TV weather-critters don't accurately forecast the weather for tomorrow, earthquakes seem to be a bit of a stretch.
Tomorrow we anticipate clear skys in the San Fernando Valley, with a high near 82 degrees F. Look for minor tremors around magnitude 4.5 in the foothills during your afternoon commute
