Big sunspot AR1429, which emerged on March 2nd, is crackling with strong flares. The strongest so far, an X1-class eruption, occurred just this morning, March 5th at 0413 UT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

Could you possibly show some evidence linking sun spots, solar flares, cme's etc... linked to earthquakes? or is it just a feeling you have? I'm not doubting, I just didn't think there was any evidence linking the two things together.

I did post about the flare last night but you have an interesting take on it. Here is the link to the thread with more info on the flare.

I am going to link your thread into mine so that people will see it and read it from there. It will be interesting to see if a major quake or a signifigant one takes place. I have always believed their could be a coincidence between the two.
CHANCE OF FLARES: Today, NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-class solar flares and a 30% chance of an X-flare from big sunspot AR1429.The active region is slowly turning to face Earth, so if any such eruptions do occur, they are increasingly likely to be geoeffective. Solar flare alerts: text, phone.
AURORA WATCH: High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on March 6th and 7th. Sunspot AR1429 has hurled two CMEs into space since it emerged over the weekend. Neither cloud is heading directly toward Earth, but both could deliver glancing blows to our planet's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters say there is a 30% to 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms during the next 24-48 hours.
Even before the CMEs arrive, auroras are already dancing around the Arctic Circle
