scientists know the exact spot where an earthquake begins because they use a ritcher scale
Seismologists use the data from triangulated seismographs to locate an earthquake's epicenter. The difference in time between the arrival of p and s waves at a seismometer tells the distance to the epicenter of an earthquake. To get the exact location, scientists must collect data from at least three seismometers. The point where all three circles is the epicenter of the earthquake. +++ The Epicentre is generally obvious: it is the point of maximum disturbance on the surface. The centre of the actual slip is the Focus, and this has to be calculated from seismograph data by triangulating from wave velocities.
the absolute location
"Epicenter" usually refers to a point on the Earth's surface directly above the "focus" of an earthquake. When a quake occurs, a seismic monitoring station can determine how far away it was from the shock wave pattern -- that is called the "epicentral distance" -- but not the exact direction. But with three or more monitoring stations' epicentral distances, one can draw intersecting circles to pinpoint the exact location.
The "epicenter" is the point on the surface above the "hypocenter" or "focus" of the earthquake underground.

The magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, occurred in the depths of the Pacific Ocean near the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of the city of Sendai. Exact location: 38.297°N, 142.372°E

Floods, large or small, happen on a daily basis somewhere in the world. You need to specify a location for an exact date for that location.
The January 12 Haitian earthquake occurred at a longitude of 72 degrees West. According to the US Geological Survey the exact co-ordinates were 18.457°N, 72.533°W.
Japan probably has one or more earthquakes every day. The most significant earthquake in Japan was the magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake on March 11, 2011 that occurred in the depths of the Pacific Ocean near the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of the city of Sendai. Exact location: 38.297°N, 142.372°E
The location for the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011 was 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku, near Sendai at a depth of 32 kilometers (20 miles).
