Anyone find anything on any webi-/heli-corders? I've not
seen anything on any of the online sites I know of.

the central Kuril Islands with M8.5 potential.
On the other hand, like the postulated Shumagin Gap in the Aleutians, I've
run across some articles on gravity anomalies that suggest these areas are

I read Roger Hunter's recent evaluation of Jim Berkland's earthquake
prediction method in Skeptical Inquirer and boy what a burn.  I'm glad
