"I know you go just 50 miles west of here and they think the town is dead," Zuckschwerdt says. "But it's not. GM knows they have a very talented workforce here," he says...

Scientists still can't predict earthquakes the way they might predict a hurricane, but thanks to this richer data, they are getting a little closer. "We are getting better at understanding the probabilities of earthquakes," says Lucy Jones, chief scientist...
