One prediction market prices this story:

  • Before 2030 — the market puts it at 34%, closing 1 Jan 2030. The market resolves to Yes if a magnitude 8.0 or greater earthquake occurs in Japan or its territorial waters before January 1, 2030. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake this for resolving based on the date of the alert rather than the actual occurrence of the earthquake.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
