Found this recent article about earthquakes and the big island.

Been kind of busy, so sorry if I missed something, but apparently it was a prediction of an earthquake:

"Often times when we have these events they will be followed by a similar sized earthquake, at a similar depth, in a location just south of Puu Oo/Kupaianaha in a few weeks to a month later."

Although the predicted earthquake occurred well beyond the prediction window, what hasn't been stated is the margin of error for the prediction. However, it's clear from the text the prediction was for two weeks after the initial event plus or minus two weeks.

To then claim an earthquake that occurred nearly three months later fulfills the prediction neatly fits this wonderful quote from Sir Humphrey:

"Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple, and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts, insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated, is such as to cause epistemological problems, of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear."

Oh, hell, just watch it:
