Hi Michael,

As for subduction, yes, it is real. I'm not sure if you are aware but
Africa is subducting under Spain. Yet, something caught my attention
some months ago regarding the odd high magnitude quake series which
ran through Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Algeria and the South of France
between 1900-1910. I'm compiling data and I want to see if I can
locate the catalyst to the storm as it appears the same region is
springing back to life and maybe there's something to be discovered as
to whether what happened in the past may be about to repeat itself in
the near future. And in that it may offer an explanation as tot the
singular quake in Medina, Italy in 1908 of which there never were any
quakes before or since. Of course missing are catalogs for the smaller
events that may have led to the largest one's so I don't know if
what's going on now is similar to the past.

I'll be returning to Spain in August for two weeks to spend some time
with a geologist and his family I met when I was there recenly so I'll
have more field time and see what he might offer which may prove
useful other than the basics for the Andalusia region and there's
nothing like time in the field.

Meanwwhile my new computer prediction program is under construction
and I'll go from Spain to Germany for a week to have a little fun
testing it to get the bugs out.

As for Shan, he's a rare man and one the folks in his region
appreciate.
