This quake was predicted.
Strap on your foil and go here...
Suspiciousobservers.com
The guy has a theory and has had success prediction quakes of over 6.0.
I think he has predicted 8 of the last 10 quakes over 6.0 and narrowly missed the other 2.
He is on to something....what I do not know.

Hmmm. Trying to remember something about this place that was in the news a few days back - something to do with muslims attacking someone? A Christian mayor? In any case, I posted that this was the same lot who got millions, if not billions in aid after the tsunami, most of it likely from Christians. Hopefully that mistake is not repeated.
