Successful Earthquake Prediction

An anonymous reader writes "Although a touch late, it appears that today's earthquake was successfully predicted by the Keilis-Borok team. (The prediction was covered previously on Slashdot.) Purists might argue that the gap between both distance and magnitude is too large to count in favor of the prediction, but this non-geologist is certainly impressed. Here's hoping they continue to receive funding."

    Predict that there will one day be another earthquake in California.

    And, sometime in the future, another hurrican will hit Florida.
