One person on YouTube predicted a 9.2 in New Zealand or a 10.0 somewhere between California and Alaska happening on March 22 at exactly 04:58:34 UTC. (He can predict the exact time but not the exact location, and besides, there has NEVER been a 10.0 magnitude EQ ! C'mon Man !) Another predicts an 8.0+ somewhere along the Aleutian Islands on either March 21 or 22. (Very bold nonetheless, but not as outrageously farfetched !)
