LOS ANGELES - The clock is running out on a highly publicized prediction that a major earthquake will rip through Southern California by Sunday.
But even if the earth does not move by the weekend, seismologists largely agree that the forecast had done more good than harm by reviving interest in the controversial science of quake prediction.
A team at the University of California at Los Angeles startled Californians and the wider scientific world in January by predicting there was 50-50 chance of a 6.4 magnitude or larger quake hitting a 12,000-square-mile (30,000-square-kilometer) mostly desert area east of Los Angeles by Sept. 5.

Whats weird is I have been thinking the ground has been moving lately and had to stop and stay still to make sure it was not, I had never heard of this before, it has been a while since we had a quake, if we have one, we have one...we cant help it. :D
