Just for the fun of it I have entered "quatrain VI:97" (again the third above from Firecats' post with the 45 degrees) into a websearch to find:

- prediction of destruction of Geneva (new City) by Russians in war
- prediction of Comet Hale-Bopp: Hey, the new millennium is almost here, and at forty-five degrees, the sky will burn. That's what Nostradamus said in quatrain VI-97, right? Hale-Bopp will hit its perihelion in April '97 in the Northern sky at 45 degrees geographic latitude. And it'll be making the rounds in our part of the solar system around the same time Nostradamus scheduled Wormwood for a special guest appearance in the Apocalypse
- the US-Iraq war (Baghdad also being at 45 deg)
- the bosnia war (latitude 45)
- the destruction of New York by a Russian nuclear missile

There might be more, that was just a short trip into the abyss of predictions.
