5.9-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes East Coast

[zenmaster]

Interesting...look at 1998.....1108? Wow! Could be solar minimum?

Why wow? There is no strong correlation between observable solar activity and earthquakes, or with the moon, or time of day or year.
I'd say there is a significant increase in activity of 5.0 or greater in the past few years, considering the average since 1900 has been around 1500. If an upward trend develops or simply maintains, after a couple of years there may be some cause for investigation.

Sorry, but, waiting years for a pattern to maintain simply isn't very smart given the implications of 2012. LOL

Probably less smart to create assumptions about '2012'. LOL
