Final crowd probability
The crowd was 72% sure, and they got it wrong.
Why: Extracted condition: at least one earthquake with reported magnitude ≥4.9 assigned to Japan that occurred between 2026-09-06T00:00:00Z and 2026-09-09T00:00:00Z, evaluated as of 2026-09-09T06:00:00Z. Observation from authoritative source (USGS): 1 matching earthquake — 2026-09-06 05:15 UTC, M4.9, 118 km ENE of Kuji, Japan (lat 40.7281, lon 142.9698). Comparison: reported magnitude 4.9 meets the ≥4.9 threshold, the USGS assigns the epicenter to Japan, and the event time 2026-09-06 05:15 UTC lies within the specified window. Therefore the condition is satisfied (YES).

With only 17 hours until betting closes, Japan's recent activity shows a max magnitude of 4.7. It's unlikely to see a quake hitting 4.9 in such a short time frame.
