[M. Espinola]

Is there any credible data somehow interlinking the 8.2 New Zealand quake shortly before after the massive earthquake & Tsunami, plus this most recent rash of strong earthquakes from Chile, to California & Japan?

[Strategerist]

Not really.

This Japanese quake was revised down to a 5.7 anyway; there are 4 5+ magnitude quakes a day worldwide.
