Another CME partially hit Earth last night and that one caused the newly discovered super storm in the Gulf of Mexico to grow literally "overnight".
Well this was exciting for 5 minutes. At least until you can comprehend that a 7.3 is a normal day here.

Except for the fact that:
-most of the "flares" you talk of have completely missed earth,
-we were hit in a minor way by one, but that was yesterday,
-and that the other two have not even got here yet.
Why do you assume the connection is direct-earthquake? You state with an unequivocal "no" yet you seem to assume the ONLY way there can be a connection is a direct line of sight impact - why? Why do you assume this?

Yeah, they downgraded it to a 7.1... Hope it keeps quiet now.. crosses fingers. we need stability so they can try to get Fukushima under some type of control...
