There’s been a perfectly normal number of large (M 7.0+) earthquakes so far this year.

Funny how nobody was posting in February when there wasn’t much EQ activity “Hey, there’s no large earthquakes.”

yeah sure, whatever you say. all i know is every day there are usually a number of headlines on my news aggregator about an earthquake somewhere I never heard of.

I don't qualify by magnitude, however.

“Funny how nobody was posting in February when there wasn’t much EQ activity...

It was quiet, too quiet:)

I agree.

A quake makes the news, and we react as if this doesn’t happen very often.

There are literally hundreds of earthquakes a day, round the world.

EQ activity has not increased, on average, for a very, very long time.

The internet has made it so that we can get news from around the world, and we are more ‘aware’ of Earthquakes that used to be known only locally.
