The earthquake happened 3 days after. This seems prescient, until you realize the wording suggests an ambiguous timeline. The area is a known fault zone, one happening "sooner or later" isn't exactly some deep insight. If he knew about that specific earthquake, why didn't he give a more specific prediction of "within the next week"?

This guy has predicted about 30 of the last 2 earthquakes. That is less than useless.

Is there any proof that he is not just predicting a ton of different earh quakes and then deletes them when he is wrong?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Why? He was relatively accurate. We have records of it. What is your skepticism based off outside of resistance to the new ?

Is this documented scientifically that planet positions can affect earth seismic activity? Like the moon affects sea tides?

One of his tweets:

Yes, there is much resistance within the scientific community regarding the influence of the planets and the Moon. But there's no extended research that 'disproves' it. It's merely an assumption. In fact, a scientific paper in Nature suggests otherwise.

No, not at all. This "researcher" is a fraud.
