Why stop at milli Hertz?

Use femtoHertz. That way, you can predict earthquakes to resolution of
a few centuries.

The Mt. St. Helens eruption of May 1980 was predicted accurately
first on the timescale of centuries, and on the timescale of weeks.
No
one knew which hour or day, until it happened.

The geological record was what gave assurance it'd pop 'about now'
meaning this-half-a-century. The preliminary seismic
rumblings were why there were weeks of advance warning (and
why preparations and evacuation were achieved).

The only 'stopping' was at a few deciHz in the low frequency band,
because
the mechanical seismometer movements are tuned for that (it
has better signal/noise than lower frequencies, and better range
than higher frequencies).
