in the article superstitions about quake meet the web, irritating the Chinese authorities i read about how many people believe earthquakes can be predicted in china. They say that blogger write about how the most recent earthquake they experienced in china could of been prevented because there were many warning signs. These apparent warning signs were considered by many to be the ponds draining out of no where, the cows hiding against their enclosures, and the large amount of toads that showed up in the town the earthquake most affected. These blogger use their superstitions to determine when there will be an earthquake, even though scientists cant even predict an earthquake because there is no way to. Many of these blogger were even arrested for releasing false information about determining earthquakes. I think that people should rely on science and facts to predict natural disasters even though its not accurate rather then peoples own superstitions on the warning signs of natural disasters. Its really weird that people get arrested in china just for expressing their views on the warning signs.
