Jack Cole in the early 90's had the San Francisco bay area in a big fuss. He
"monitored" the high frequency radio waves in the area by tuning his stereo
radio receiver to an off channel and listening for pops and hiss. Based on
his interpolations he would then alert the news media to pending major
seismic events. The troubling part of this was the little girl that lived
across the street from me. After not sleeping very well for several days she
showed up on my front steps because she knew I knew something about
earthquakes and recorded them on seismic equipment. We spent about an hour
talking about earthquakes, the likelihood of being injured in one and
mankind's inability to predict them. For the following week she showed up
several times more with different kids from the neighborhood to continue the
discussion. Eventually, when the press cut Jack's access off, troubled kids
quite showing up on my doorstep.

Astronomer Predicts Major Quake in Japan

An astronomer in Japan is causing a stir with a prediction of an impending
major earthquake in the Tokyo area. The prediction, first posted on Internet
web sites, has some Japanese making preparations for an imminent disaster.

Although officials and scientists say no present technology can predict
earthquakes, some Japanese are heeding the prediction made by Yoshio
Kushida. The self-taught astronomer turned earthquake forecaster says he has
developed a way to predict the timing and intensity of tremors by monitoring
very high frequency radio waves.
