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. Seismic activity is not correlated with CMEs or other solar activity. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-you-predict-earthquakes https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/do-solar-flares-or-magnetic-storms-space-weather-cause-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.snopes.com/fact-check/can-you-predict-an-earthquake/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/kz4jyz/earthquake-conspiracy-theorists-are-wreaking-havoc-during-emergencies https://www.inverse.com/science/earthquake-prediction-dutchsinse-holmquist-conspiracy
