The following are REAL examples of forecasts I’m making that likely would not qualify for review due to the magnitude and/or timelines. But you can also post forecasts like this, and if successful, you are likely to get a lot of votes by posting a “Success Proclamation” here in the public forum, and we’ll notice that, even if it doesn’t belong in the official Members proclamation section.
Location: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, central/northern portions.
Magnitude: M5.5 – M6.9
Timeline: Before April 10, 2017
Location: Canary Islands
Magnitude: M4+ (These upticks are rare for the region)
Timeline: Before April 10, 2017
Rationale– a rare Blot echo struck Niger today, and due to the character of the african plate, is unlikely to produce significant seismicity directly above. The latitude was the same as the Canary Islands and I have reason to believe that is the direct of migration. At nearly 400km down, this mantle event may pass right by the Canary Islands and hit the central ocean ridge instead.
IF, we begin to see more events to the north, near the same depth as today’s event, we will begin to once-again monitor the Mediterranean Sea for foreshock activity indicative of large events in Italy and Greece.
