The database is here:

Out of curiosity with the subject I've made a couple of scripts and spreadsheets to quickly pull some statistics out of the raw data.
Of course the loss of life and property is tragic and it should never be forgotten what the cold numbers represent in those terms.
There is no possibility that HAARP has any effect on earthquakes, it does not have the capability. Educating yourself does not mean listening to rumor and speculation which is based on ignorance and fear. It means doing research to find out what HAARP actually does, how it does it, and why it does it. The problem is that those things involve complex scientific concepts which are not always easy to understand, that is where fear and ignorance come into play.

Unless I provide an external quote and source, everything I post is my opinion. Actually, I find it irritating that people expect a "IMHO" disclaimer when it should be obvious. Especially in a venue such as ATS.
Yes. As populations increase and developed areas increase in number and size, it becomes more likely that there will be more damage and injury. People are funny and tend to rebuild in regions that are known to be at risk. Indonesia for example, an extremely active region with large parts of its population concentrated in cities. A large earthquake is almost guaranteed to be destructive under these circumstances. Haiti sits right on top of a major fault which can be expected to produce large earthquakes. So does Los Angeles. A single destructive earthquake in any of these (or quite a few other) known risk areas will, very likely, result in a higher than average casualty and damage count for the year. That does not indicate a trend.

Man, this is bizarre. The microquake activity has not stopped, and is starting to appear as a swarm. These quakes are occurring along a subduction zone, meaning, at least to me, that these could be a precursor to a major thrust event. That is extremely dangerous, and could cause a very large quake, like a 9+. That close to Okinawa, a major tsunami would reach their shore in mere minutes. This is not good. I am really hoping this activity subsides.
