What triggers earthquakes is as mysterious as what triggers an abracadabra. Aftershocks -in both situations- can be very damaging! Mainly because of the waning of the WoW. (You know seismologists stop looking to their devices in Chile and go for some Pisco, in Bandung they do the same and they go for Kopy and in California they head for Tahoe, and leave only students in duty watch) The waning of the WoW doesn't mean we should switch off the detecting devices. The tectonic plates, a.k.a 130 billion Euro of licenses in the 3G, case are still there grinding against each other. But this is not apparent, it undetectable, it is 15 Km below surface of the earth. So no one is going to write to the Minister of interior and make him evacuate a whole province in Sulawesi he loses malu if nothing happen and in Asia you can't lose face. So regardless the earthquake comes, will be damaging, will kill people, will ravage the economy, no one draw a plan. Untill now... continue in the next posting

UP to now was like that. But seismologists and scientists in general gather together on occasions called seminars and worshops to compare their findings. Thye use this occasions to paste together their findings, records and theories -separate by distance and geographical distinctions of the regions they sruvey and study- and then as a result,suddenly, what appeared to be only noise and raw data, starts to becoming information they can work upon. This Abracadabra (sub-Thread within the main Thread) is this occasions where we -non academics- compare our data and findings and try to get something useful for our purposes. Since we are not academics we have to make money out of our findings, right?
