For folks who may be interested, I have some things I can offer for the discussion. The first three are charts I carry on one of my sites. 2 are static I picked up along the way from public domain collections or sources and the 3rd is a recent projection/recorded event chart
and, personally I'm not in the mood just recently to do a lot of research involving time spent, but here is a list of major solar storms going back to the 1850's, descriptions of what they did as well as how they impacted things and in many cases with links to much more detailed references on each. One could probably take dates from the link, compare with the charts and see what might make sense for known major disasters that have happened. The few that come to mind seem to have been quiet periods, actually...
Major Solar Storms - 1859 to 2003
Hope that helps a bit.

Geomagnetic storming reached G3 levels and subsided about 15 hours ago.
Geomagnetic activity does not cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, or any other weather fluctuations.
A 1967 study published in the Earth and Planetary Science Letters found :
Solar activity, as indicated by sunspots, radio noise and geomagnetic indices, plays a significant but by no means exclusive role in the triggering of earthquakes. Maximum quake frequency occurs at times of moderately high and fluctuating solar activity. Terrestrial solar flare effects which are the actual coupling mechanisms which trigger quakes appear to be either abrupt accelerations in the earth’s angular velocity or surges of telluric currents in the earth’s crust. The graphs presented in this paper permit probabilistic forecasting of earthquakes, and when used in conjunction with local indicators may provide a significant tool for specific earthquake prediction.
A 1998 report by a scientist from the Beijing Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, also found a correlation between low solar activity and earthquakes:
It has been found that:
(1) Earthquakes occur frequently around the minimum years of solar activity. Generally, the earthquake activities are relatively less during the peak value years of solar activity, some say, around the period when magnetic polarity in the solar polar regions is reversed.
(2) The earthquake frequency in the minimum period of solar activity is closely related to the maximum annual means of sunspot numbers, the maximum annual means of solar 10.7 cm radio flux and solar proton events of a whole solar cycle, and the relation between earthquake and solar proton events is closer than others.
Mitch Battros theorized in 1998 that large solar flares affect Earth’s magnetic field, which in turn shifts the oceanic and atmospheric currents, which can cause earthquakes and extreme weather. As Battros summarizes his formula:
Sunspots => Solar Flares (charged particles) => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather [including earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes or other extreme natural events]

I think you got it wrong here...

Link to some of the released paper
Solar activity as a triggering mechanism for earthquakes (1968)
Relationship between global seismicity and
solar activities*
And also, these guys endorse the underlying concept :
Dr. Ernest Hildner, Director NOAA Space Weather Center
Dr. Tom Van Flandern, former US Naval Observatory Chief of Celestial Mechanics
Dr. Stefaan Poedts, Lead Scientist University of Leuven Center for Plasma Astrophysics
Dr. Ronald van der Linden, Director of Solar Physics Department of the Royal Observatory
Dr. Pål Brekke, Deputy Director of SOHO project- European Space Agency
So I guess Phage is wrong.

you can't really prove geomagnetic activity doesn't effect those things now can you???

...that we know of. Don't forget, as smart as man is, we have limited data on what does, and does not affect the Earth. To claim 100% either way is against this websites slogan.

Weird. I didn't know about this until now, and both a coworker and I had severe headaches all night at work, and I rarely get headaches.

That's the problem. When a member like him makes mistakes like this, it's disinformation. Voluntary or not. Tons of people takes as absolute truth anything he post. And then, these people tell other people about these things.

I'd say he'd earned the right to a mistake or two and I've certainly noticed he's not been back to support, argue and beat to death a bad point to the point of excess, as many (not you...lol) are apt to do.
