Original Note:
There is no scientific basis for earthquake predictions. There is always a chance for earthquakes in places with active faults, but specific forecasts are no better than random when tested. Claims of correlation with planetary alignment have been disproven since 1959. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-you-predict-earthquakes https://pnsn.org/outreach/faq/earthquake-prediction https://scienceexchange.caltech.edu/topics/earthquakes/earthquakes-probabilities https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2019/predicting-next-big-earthquake https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-position-moon-or-planets-affect-seismicity-are-there-more-earthquakes-morningin-eveningat
