Earthquake prediction on 6 April 2009, the Abruzzo region of central Italy was rocked by a magnitude M 6.3 earthquake. In the city of L'Aquila and surrounding area around 60,000 buildings collapsed or were seriously damaged, resulting in 308 deaths and 67,500 people left homeless. Around the same time, it was reported that Giampaolo Giuliani had predicted the earthquake, had tried to warn the public, but had been muzzled by the Italian government. Giampaolo Giuliani was a laboratory technician at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. As a hobby he had for some years been monitoring radon using instruments he had designed
Olancha Earthquake Sequence (2009) and the nearby Owens Valley are common" and that she expected that the ongoing Ridgecrest earthquake sequence would result in aftershocks in the high 4 magnitude range. Connections between earthquake-prone areas and their history of high magnitude shocks have contributed to the latter liquefaction present in the Olancha earthquake sequence in 2009 also assisting with scientific research. In 1872 an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 to 7.9 occurred in Lone Pine is located 37 kilometres north of Olancha. The 1872 Lone Pine earthquake also demonstrated horizontal ground deformation, eventuating to a 350,000 m graben which eventually was filled with water and
