@vivify saidYup, you hit it. Like his choice of "The New City" - which some believe is NYC.
I predict an earthquake will happen during a sporting event. Since earth quakes can happen in many places and sporting events happen all around the world, it's bound to occur at some point.
When this finally comes true some time in the next few centuries, all will marvel at my brilliance.
The only one I give him a little credit for is "Hister" for Hitler (so some think)

Leaving aside whether Nostradamus really was a prophet, what I don't get is how interpreters decided that certain quatrains pertain to 2022.
Most of the quatrains don't even contain astrological reference points (which would be among the most specific reference points available to him), e.g. "When the Lord of the Underworld* enters the House of the Ram" -- but even if they did, the planetary orbits are only so many years long, so reference points such as house placements , conjunctions, and oppositions would occur many times over the centuries.

@kevin-eleven saidPluto also has a 248-year orbit, which kind of limits when it can be in a specific astrological house. But the transit of each house takes about 20 years, eight months, too.
