Original Note:
There is no scientific basis for this or any earthquake prediction. Quakes are always possible in areas with active faults, but specific predictions perform no better than random when tested. Rates of quakes are uncorrelated with solar or geomagnetic activity. 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://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00685-y https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-earthquake-prediction-262451352553 https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/do-solar-flares-or-magnetic-storms-space-weather-cause-earthquakes https://www.usgs.gov/programs/geomagnetism/science/overview#publications https://www.thesuntoday.org/solar-science/flares-and-earthquakes/
