Market prices 52.5% chance of zero M6.5+ earthquakes in 7-day window, but historical USGS data suggests 1-2 such quakes occur globally per week on average. Using Poisson distribution with λ=1.5/week gives ~22% probability of zero events. While recent activity shows only minor quakes (<M3) and no unusual precursors, earthquakes remain fundamentally unpredictable. The market consensus reflects informed traders but may be influenced by recent quiet period. No special seismic intelligence suggests deviation from baseline rates. Historical frequency indicates at least one M6.5+ earthquake is more likely than zero in any given week, making the 52.5% zero-probability pricing slightly elevated. Leaning against market by small margin given statistical baseline, but low confidence due to earthquake randomness and lack of information edge over active traders.
