Well, in my own defence, I have to admit that they are certainly
certainties. What would you prefer?

or (b) the predictions are so vague that they
could be describing an event over half the earth's surface within the
next 3 weeks.

I am much more vague than that. But had the whole earth been preparing
for the inevitable that you yourself are admitting is preordained,
then thousands of people from Burma to China would be going about
their relatively uneventful lives because of people like me.

Or at the very least the emergency services would have been gearing up
3 weeks in advance instead of 3 days after the event. What would that
be worth to mankind?

And why are you upset about me? You are not paying my wages.
