ABSTRACT
The other 4 misses were in magnitude. Two were due to a phenomenon in which the observed atmospheric feature came from two or more closely spaced impending epicenters. For example, the author predicted an earthquake of magnitude more than or equal to 7 in the Indian Ocean with a latitude over 20S from December 27, 1999 to February 10, 2000, and likely in the area of latitude 25-28S, and longitude 60--80E by the cloud of Fig. 15. However, not one M7, but 6 M5-M5.7 earthquakes occurred in the time and the fine area instead (No. 38 in Table 5). The six earthquakes are the only sextuplets of magnitude more than or equal to 5 in the entire Indian Ocean within 3000 days from May 27, 1994 to August 12, 2002. Similarly, prediction number 42 yielded a couple of twins.
