6 to 6.5 M. probably. And it will occur at something like 90 degrees
from where it hits the steep slope I believe. I don't know if rat
Island is more likely in that case but it's going to be in that area.

When will this happen? Roughly?


Soon.

There are 3 to 4 earthquakes in that area on a daily basis, so it wont
be long.

Our Mr McNeil does not go in for predictions unless (a) they are a
statistical certainty, 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.

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

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.
