An earthquake prediction at Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
Finch RH. 1925. An earthquake prediction at Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Science. 61(1567):42-43
On April 8, 1924, HVO predicted that one or more perceptible earthquakes would occur within a few days. Strong shocks occurred on April 10 and 11. The prediction was based on reversal to southerly tilt at the Observatory after a period of northerly tilt, and the accumulation of 6 sec of southerly tilt in 6 days, although lava was absent from Halemaumau pit. Finch also describes the status of the HVO deformation net.
