An interesting article covering a bit of the history of quake prediction, and a method I wasn't aware of that might have some use.

Indeed! I even knew some of the people mentioned in the article.

Yes, interesting article. While not a short term prediction, apparently the area of the recent M6.6 quake in Italy was mostly empty. I read in news articles it was because of previous quakes including a couple of month before in the same region. But it also looked like the area included a high-elevation park and so was sparsely populated in the first place.

OK, I'm about to find out whether my reply posts or I fouled it up again

The article was interesting to me because, although different techniques were being used, long term data sampling was part of the process.  In my experience, potential seismic anomalies go through several morphological changes before the actual event. If you know what to look for, you can catch them early and watch their development.
