Dim memories are inflating views of current events. Quake that gave us Fukushima was 9.0 or 9.1. World records for largest rainfall events are 2-3x Harvey depending on what period you pick. Irma is setting local, not world, records.

It's Trumps fault!!

Definitely. He may have gone too far this time in trying to put pressure on Mexico.

Has the media blamed this on Trump yet?

Actually those “jerks” appear to be correct. See my post #100. Scientists (who actually practice REAL science, unlike the warmists) believe we are now in a solar minimum, similar to the Maunder and Dalton Minimums of the past. During those episodes, there was greater earthquake and volcano activity, as well as generally colder weather.

That does not at all mean the two phenomena are related. Only that they sometimes seem to correlate.

Wow look at all those plates.

Yes, the little ones around the west coast of Mexico are caught between the enormous Pacific and North American plates.

You may well be correct, but it certainly begs further study.

I feel the same. Are we approaching some divinely-ordained time?

There was an X class solar eruption that was Earth facing on September 4. Guys I occasionally follow on You Tube were talking about it. There’s a pretty strong correlation between CME’s and earthquakes and volcanic activity. Interesting stuff.

As a one-time geology major back in the 80s, I agree.

Freeper "Wonder Warthog" (below) made some seemingly plausible arguments in favor of at least some possible link...

"Don’t be too sure about that.....there are electromagnetic effects that we know little about.

There are massive electric currents circulating in the “deep earth” (which is why earth has a magnetic field).

When the EMF of the flare interacts with the earth’s magnetic field, there HAS to be some effect on those circulating internal electric currents.

Simple physics says this has to happen. Can this cause (or intensify) earthquakes...???—Wonder Warthog

Immediately in the wake of the total solar eclipse across America on Monday, August 21, the Hebrew calendar will turn the page to Rosh Chodesh Elul — the first day of the month of Elul.

Auspicious?

Rosh Chodesh Elul marks the beginning of the period of Teshuvah — the month of introspection, stock-taking, and repentance that leads up to the Days of Awe, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

As another post has liberals claiming this is a Gaia Revenge event, I do seriously consider these events more like the plagues of Moses. President Trump is exactly where he is supposed to be. He is fighting against the ‘shadow’ government, they attempt to thwart his efforts at every turn, and like the Egyptians of old He must break their hardened hearts and wicked ways.

The folks at ‘spaceweathernews.com’ predicted the quake too.
6.0 quakes >50% accuracy
7.0 quakes >75% accuracy
As of now California is on the enhanced risk map.
Some cool stuff there.

yep, nature is throwing quite a fit this month, isn’t she?

It is because we dropped out of the Paris Accord Agreement.

All the fault of global warming, causing killer hurricanes that register on seismographs. Rush provoked it.

Some of us sort of scoffed at this recent threat:

This be Friday and the 8.x in southern Mexico is certainly close to the Atlantic.

Makes me go 'hmmmmmmmm'.
