If you allow 2 hours for the NEIC to look at the data from that and
compare significant earthquakes fror the time coincidents, you get a
picture of the convergence/divergence thing.

Deeper than it seems.
A deep low over the UK formed in 24 hours around 1 Nov 2009:
Explosively deepening low, 1 Nov 2009, an analysis
http://www.woksat.info/wwp/Low01nov09.pdf
So I looked up significant quakes on the US database:
Magnitude 6.5 OFFSHORE TARAPACA, CHILE November 13, 2009
Magnitude 7.3 FIJI November 09, 2009
Magnitude 6.6 SUMBAWA REGION, INDONESIA November 08, 2009
Magnitude 6.8 RYUKYU ISLANDS, JAPAN October 30, 2009
Which is to say: Not!
I wonder what happened instead. Was it a well forecast event -or
rather, was the general trend expected? If so, no significant
earthquake. But surely something coincided?
What storms occurred in the tropics I wonder?

Vietnamese media reported on Wednesday that at least 90 people have
been killed after Tropical Storm Mirinae passed through the country.
Another 22 people were reported to be missing.
According to Vietnam News, the storm completely destroyed 154 houses,
damaged 2,500 others, and flooded 1,800 hectares of farmland. Some
dikes in the Phu Yen province were overloaded with water, further
exacerbating the damage.
Around 2,000 soldiers were dispatched to assist with rescue efforts,
and local authorities had asked for food aid from the government.
The Vietnamese disaster committee said that "it's the most devastating
flooding in more than 30 years in Phu Yen."
Two people were also killed by Mirinae in neigbouring Cambodia, and a
further 27 in the Philippines.
Let's hope they didn't die in vain.

Nice prediction. The Northern hemisphere hurricane season and main
convective season are both under way. I'll second that prescience of
storms somewhere in half of the world, sometime soon.
I don't think, however, we can count this one towards possibly
changing your 14% success rate. The prediction is a little lacking in
detail, don't you think?
