Couldn't someone have predicted that Earthquake that hit over there, in ArabiaLand (I'm sorry, I was never sent to the Gulf by my Mom or Dad), like we predict Hurricanes?

I remember hearing something about what seismologists do and how they are coming close to predicting earthquakes but that was a while ago. I'm wondering if anyone knows how close they've came to being able to predict an earthquake?
