Iran 5.8 This forecast was made for 16 May but the previous quake period was still active and quakes continued on a decreasing trend until 14 May. Many forecast locations were hit but timing obviously a mistake. The offshore El Salvador 6.2 caused no damage. The eruption of Turrialba is weak, nearby Poas is pluming. The Iran 5.8 caused a lot of damage and casualties. The forecast was chasing activity in Eastern Turkey. A new quake period begins early 17 May.
