We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random.

In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. (36)________ an earthquake hit again, it was years of schedule.
