Not sure if this belongs here or in the Fragile Earth forum but I thought it was interesting after seeing all the seismic activity going on these past couple week. What is going on for so many shakes to be going on? this can't be normal can it?


Swarms in Hawaii, Tennessee?( that's really ODD) the Christchurch NZ quake. I read somewhere that when there's solar flares there's lots of earthquakes. I think we've had a couple solar flares the last couple weeks. I'm begining to believe they actually might be related... crazy stuff!

Arkansas is having a lot of small quakes....every day for quite some time now. I heard about the Chile quake, and was watching video of the 8.8 they had.....really terrifying! I hope to never see one!
