No worries, it's very hard online sometimes to decipher the meaning of textual statements and other peoples' intentions. To keep this short and not stray away from the thread, it's all good!

Solar flux at 93 suddenly... NO COINCIDENCE. Radio scatter was good today and will be incredible tomorrow.
I'm telling you guys there's a direct relationship with solar activity here. DIRECT!

Aftershocks like this unfortunately *are* normal. (I know "normal" sounds weird in connecting with a terrible event like this.)
If you look at the devastating Szechuan earthquake of a few years back, Kobe an similar tragedies, many aftershocks struck there as well, compounding the problem for buildings on the verge of collapse.

Thanks for the info starshiner. It's hard for me or anyone else to fathom this as "normal" tho another poster did put it well when they said "normal for the earth" just not so for us. I read that article and wow!! 246 4.0+ aftershocks? are they sure?? I want to see this USGS report (not that I'm doubting the report) There is no way that is *normal*! How may times has this kinda thing been reported? It's odd that this just one in the article happend in 2008. Quite recently. Interesting, yet somewhat troubling. Thanks again.
