Mixed Outlook on Earthquakes and Storms This Summer

People now seem to think that major quakes worldwide are unlikely. The overall mood leans toward doubt about any large tremor hitting many places. Most observers feel the chances are low.

When it comes to specific regions, some think Japan is unlikely to face a big quake soon. In contrast, a few believe Indonesia could experience a notable tremor. Chile, however, is seen as unlikely to see a major event.

Regarding tropical weather, most people expect that the storm named Lala will not turn into a hurricane before reaching Hawaii. Likewise, the idea of any hurricane making landfall in Hawaii before a certain point is viewed as doubtful.

For river flooding, the consensus is that the water level in Indianapolis will stay below a high threshold during the upcoming floods. The prevailing view is that extreme peaks are not expected.
