found an interesting snippet, apparently a guy predicted the N.Z. Shake using the Super moon theory. Interesting follow on bit about the cause of the Earthquake lights as well. www.dailymail.co.uk...

I refuse to click a Daily Mail link. 99% of the time, they post utter rubbish.

I turned on my back porch light and it didn't illuminate the yard one bit. That moon is blazing tonight in Chicago.

Thanks for the reply. I tend to stay away from the Daily Fail as well,

but there's always truth to everything. The moon certainly would

cause tides and earth shaking though.

Yep, and here's a more reputable source: www.washingtonpost.com...

According to a study published in Nature Geoscience this week, the same gravitational influence that the moon has on the oceans may also trigger earthquakes along Earth's most fragile faults. Researchers at the University of Tokyo calculated the levels of "tidal stress" before major earthquakes of the past few decades and found that high levels of stress were often followed by major earthquakes.

"This suggests that the probability of a tiny rock failure expanding to a gigantic rupture increases with increasing tidal stress levels," the scientists wrote. "We conclude that large earthquakes are more probable during periods of high tidal stress."

Predicting earthquakes, however, is still pretty much like predicting your future using astrology.

Thanks for that, but I don't think Reputable would be the word I'd use for

The Washington Post news site.Perhaps it's just harder to lie than other

MSN outlets. But again there is always some truth embedded

in these articles, they have to or no one would believe any of it.
