Scientists predicted a massive SoCal earthquake (98% probability according to their models) and they failed magnificently.
How come they're unable to accurately predict something as commonplace as an earthquake accurately?
They have massive amounts of data to work with, tons of instrumentation and readings to go off of and decades of well measured previous tectonic activity to study. Yet given all that plus enormous budgets to work with and they are still no better at predicting earthquakes than a tarot card reader.
