He not only predicted the approximate date, but also the magnitude and epicenter.
His method (cloud formations) is not widely accepted by the scientific community. Perhaps because his geological and meteorological skills are self-taught. He claims a prediction success rate >60%, and that it would be higher if he had better access to satellite imagery.
I first heard of him in The Cloudspotter's Guide, then I found these links:

I could claim that clouds indicate my mood. Or perhaps I'm having a bad day? Is this the quality we can expect from Mastadon? Isnt much of an improvement over Twitter.
You didn't read any of the links, did you? BTW, this is not Mastadon.
