Earthquakes have caused so many destruction over the years even in recent times, the prediction strategies which you stated will sure go a long way to help escape them but I wish there is an advanced high tech technology which can sense possible occurrence accurately and this made available at an affordable rate, that way this disaster will not lead to major loss of life, though properties can't really escape the damage.
Its quite a discourse, you did great at this @whileponderin.
Soon, just be patient, technology will soon reach to that stage. Thanks for reading @logic42
