Famous earthquakes of the future: Tokai

Japan has taken earthquake prediction, of a sort, more seriously than anyone else on Earth. Researchers in the 1970s foresaw that a great earthquake is likely to recur in a place where other great quakes have happened roughly every 110 years. It has a name, the Tokai Earthquake, a magnitude, 8.4, and a national program enacted in 1978 to prepare for it. See my roundup of this future quake, including the program's flaws.
