I agree, it's kind of strange for all of these things to be happening at once. I don't think Toutatis is large enough to be causing unusual gravitational effects, but it does seem like quite a bit of coincidence.

A "red" moon is a common occurrence; they happen several times a year. It just has to do with the bending of light rays near the horizon and the relative position of the sun & moon at moon rise.
"Harvest moon" is just a name for a particular full moon during the year. There is also the Wolf Moon, Sugaring Moon, Barley Moon, Hunter's Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Strawberry Moon, and others. Indians had other names for them: Two in Lakota lore are the Moon of the Plums, and the Cherry Blossom Moon. They just designated the lunar month before most people had a calendar on their wall.
California & Alaska have earthquakes on a regular basis, even large ones. There were a couple of 6-range quakes in Alaska in the past couple of weeks or so, and another 5+ in Southern California last week. Also some 5-6 range ones in the Atlantic in the last couple of weeks. There are usually several hundred a year that size around the world, and even several 7+ quakes per year. Most are just in places where they don't do damage or even get noticed by anyone except seismologists.
Hurricanes run in cycles, and we're entering a known and expected portion of a cycle that brings more, and more severe, storms than the relatively calm portion of the cycle we're leaving.
Volcanoes in Hawaii erupt frequently; one has been erupting steadily for the past several years, and the other one expected to erupt does so rather frequently. Other erupt less frequently, but eruptions is what slowly built the Islands, and is still building them.
Mt St Helens has had several minor eruptions since she blew, and the impending one is another little one. All the Cascade Mountains are volcanoes, and some are still quite active. Mt Shasta erupts on average every 300 or so years, and on that basis is "due". Several volcanoes in Alaska erupt rather frequently also, as do others around the world...Stromboli, Etna, Popocatepetl, and some in Japan, the Philippines, and many more. Many we never see or know about, because they are on the sea floor.
Asteroids "pass earth" all the time, and this one does every few years, just like some of the comets that return periodically.
What does it mean? Life on earth is fascinating, and we should sit back and enjoy the show!

What's happening in Hawaii? I heard something about potential activity, is there any eruption (besides Puu Oo which is always happening)?
