Yes, I know, it's almost a bloody week old but I just now happened to read it.

Might be helpful in places like California.

predicted the same way as Tsunamis or cyclones are predicted?

Tsunamis have a warning window of a few minutes to a few hours AFTER the triggering event (earthquake or landslide) has already happened.

The tropical low pressure areas can be seen to develop over the course of several days before becoming a cyclone/hurricane, then often several more days before landfall.

With earthquakes sometimes the stress accumulation along a fault can be monitored. On deeper faults this may not be possible. Even when the stress is monitored, knowing the time of slippage let alone the duration and intensity is not possible.

I’ve sent the link to my earth scientist/geologist to read and comment to me.

There were a few earthquakes in California after the Nepal ones and the guys in CA said there seemed to be no connection to Nepal quake. My earth scientist said that large quake in Nepal was extraordinary and it moved the earth plate there and would send that energy through the plate system so the guys in California would not be able to say those quakes were not connected. That is the gist of what he said.

I’ve read that animals have a keen sense of impending doom from severe weather events and earthquakes well before such events occur. Dogs are already trained to give a response to a human handler if the handler is going to experience a medical emergency. Just rambling.
