February 16, 1999
My last prediction was based on a solar eclipse. The reason for the discrepancies in the prediction is still not known. I am still trying to calculate exactly what went wrong. Please check back soon for further details.
The predicted earthquake:
2.16.1999 16:33; Diamantina Trench; Mag. 6.0
The actual earthquake:
2.16.1999 12:19; South Indian Ocean; Mag. 4.8
No report was issued by the USGS for this earthquake because of the small magnitude and remote location. Instead, I obtained the following information from the USGS QED (Quick Epicenter Determination) Mailing Service.
235722.8* 25.882S 69.557E 10G 4.8 0.5 15 SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN
Golden, CO USA 1999 FEB 16 12:19
