Seems we are having a lot of bigger quakes this year. The year is not even a month old and there have been a lot with a magnitude greater than 4 globally in countries such as Japan, Greece, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Costa Rica, Philippines, USA and Indonesia. Research into precursors really needs to be taken seriously so we can at least attempt to save lives. Quakefinder in CA is doing this kind of research and they have positive results for seeing changes in the electromagnetic fields prior to earthquakes. Too bad support for them seems to be lacking. Visit them at http://www.quakefinder.com~~their research is beyond interesting and intriguing!
