Hi Robert - Thanks for the positive words - On our site we do welcome constructive criticism, not abusive flames - Like I mentioned, this can be a very emotional subject and at least I try to have a site that welcomes predictions, predictive methods whether they be scientific or psychic/sensitive and constructive adult debates. I think we are all aware that we are a long way from accurately predicting 100 percent of all earthquakes and may never achieve that type of accuracy, but there have been some legitimate inroads and some accurate predictions posted. I don't think that anyone who is working on this project would consider evacuation of an area - I really can't see evacuating over 9 million people out of Los Angeles! But we can make the public aware enough that everyone has food, water, flashlights, batteries, etc prepared and can be a supportive community in the case of an earthquake rather than a war zone when it does occur.
