Granny- I also am ignoring the meteor/comet/sunspot/global warming et al.
Does anyone keep an eye on the IRIS Seismic Monitor site? I've been watching it regularly for a week or more and while it has shown earthquakes every day around the world since I started watching it, the last day and a half there have been none indicated (very unusual to me). Yet I know there was a 5.0 in Taiwan yesterday. Anyone?
Me too!
