A major geomagnetic storm which began at about 15:00 UT today was associated with a major change in the Hp strength of the global geomagnetic field which oscillated strongly for the next five hours. This was accompanied by strong changes in electron flux at ionospheric levels. Several hours after the storm reached its maximum, a strong earthquake of M 6.4 hit the Vancouver Island region of British Columbia just south of eastern Alaska. The earthquake in Vancouver occurred within an hour of local solar noon, (the quake was at 19:41 UT, local solar noon is 20:25 UT) the time of maximum likely triggering from solar-geophysical events on seismicity. This had been anticipated in our summary yesterday in the "GEOMAGNETIC" section where we issued a seismic watch in response to this anticipated storm with the maximum area of likelihood for a major event in eastern Alaska and vicinity. Our watch which has been on this summary for the past three days stated in full:

Wow, geomagnetic storm then an
earthquake. I knew about the storm
but didn't think about it when I heard
of the quake. I have been reading
articles regarding the possible
connection. Very interesting - and
it just happened.
So : it's probably mostly real , but the truth behind it is ...immense, but uncertain

we're moving in the wrong direction.
We all knew this would happen....
The premature termination of TIP in the 2011a Update of the Global Test of M8-MSc predictions happen to be due to the function Z1 (an inverse of the Zhurkov criterion, which is linear concentration of ruptures) anomaly threshold change from 2407 to 2440 bringing the voting scores from the required (and factual in the 2010b Update) 4:6/4:6 down to 4:6/4:5... A reasonable man would not even notice this change in one of the seven graphs involved in TIP diagnosis, while the prefixed in 1992 "black box" version of the M8 algorithm does.
Abbreviation: TIP, time of increased probability of a strong earthquake (an alarm).
Although the M8-MSc predictions are intermediate-term middle-range and by no means imply any "red alert", some colleagues have expressed a legitimate concern about maintaining necessary confidentiality. Therefore, the up-to-date predictions are not easily accessed, although available on the web-pages of restricted access provided to about 150 members of the Mailing List.
