***yes totally nutz,  BUT   an interesting article linked in that one was o=

who had a bunch of radon detectors he built and installed around the place.
Predicted the quake and had a gag order placed on him by the Govt and head
 of that commission.

    The way to go! The problem with radon is that you don't always get emis=

    No, just piles of ancient rubble....  but 90 people died.
