As you know hurricane name lists are predicted years in advance.

As I ALSO know, this is an earthquake newsgroup, not hurricane.

But convergence in the atmosphere directly affects divergence in the
earth and vice versa. (Which is to say when the convergence in the
atmosphere ends, the return to normal will be accompanied with a
suitable seismic bang at a point (or several) not much more or less
than 80 degrees distant from what would be the meteorological
equivalent of epicentre.

Consider:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak...us2010ata9.php
and compare to the weather charts for the coast of SW USA the previous
day. Artfully predicted by yrs troolie.)

And the names aren't "predicted", they're adopted years in
advance. I mean it's not like the hurricane comes with a label or
something and we don't find out its name till we see the label.

But when you are so sure of something that it is not a matter of
faith, isn't it still a prediction until the actual occurrence?
