Giampaolo Giuliani gave warnings, but researchers wonder whether it was a fluke. The radon gas method he used has been unreliable, they say. More than a week ago, a scientist little known in earthquake circles made a bold prediction of a destructive earthquake in the Abruzzo region of central Italy based on spikes in radon gas. Giampaolo Giuliani went so far as to tell the mayor of a town there that it would strike within the next 24 hours.
