In addition, this will be a full moon.

Does a full moon send more destructive light waves?

The different phases of the moon has different gravitational effects upon the Earth’s tides.

Here's the relevant section from the Wikipedia entry on tides:
Approximately twice a month, around new moon and full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line (a condition known as syzygy[8]) the tidal force due to the Sun reinforces that due to the Moon.
I'm not convinced that this would make a significant difference on the occurrence of earthquakes, but it isn't a crackpot notion (as you suggest).
