just to summarize, it’s when the sun does farts in our direction, like this M-class,
there is some sort of “ringing” that can put the odds even for tectonic bumps. here’s south pacific island seismo starts to get “choppy” (i know, scientific terms) that my theory says precedes earthquakes. not all farts make eq. not all eq are fart triggered. but the BIG ones (2004 xmas and 2009 fukushima specifically) tend to have large solar components.
now im not saying there is going to be a big (7+) quake soon, but the odds are getting even.
for a dollar i’ll tell you where and when i think the trigger happens.
hint, this page is where i pull the seismo’s from,
