No problem with this. It works and will save lives.
More proof that the speed with which Obama closed the White House to the public has nothing to do with money on hand.
The Mooch’s holidays could have paid for the whole of California to have early earthquake warning.
With money left over.
For several years the USGS had a “24-Hour Aftershock Forecast Map”, which they pulled down over a year ago. However, even in this brief time there have been several breakthroughs in earthquake prediction that you have to wonder if they have been integrated into the system. For example:
1) High altitude ionization anomaly, basically that *sometimes*, likely dependent on geology, there is a distinct change in atmospheric ionization high overhead a region about to have an earthquake.
The downside is that our (East) side of the ring of fire has a geology conducive to slower, more billowing volcanic eruptions; but the West side has more explosive eruptions, (like Krakatoa) as their geology is more brittle. The atmospheric phenomenon was first observed on their side, and may not happen on our side.
2) Ground gases may change noticeably prior to an eruption, along with ground electrical potential changes caused by piezoelectric charges created by crystalline fractures. But again, this happens in some places, but not in others.
3) Biologicals, anywhere from ants to dogs and horses, may be able to sense an impending earthquake, but nobody wants to sit around all day watching animal behavior.
Are they going to buy every home a canary???
