Also note Arkansas they are having almost constant earthquakes or ground vibrations, most likely due to a drilling technique called Fracking where millions of gallons of industrial made chemical waste and some water is injected into the ground to break apart the bedrock in an already sandy and loose soil.Earthquake swarm in Arkansas Intensifies

Absolutely none, says Pete Wheeler of the International Center for Radio Astronomy. All that will happen next week is that the Earth will experience a "lower than usual low tide and a higher than usual high tide." A Super Moon, he concludes, is "nothing to get excited about."

The side turned away from the earth is called the moon’s dark side..
Those idiots just like the weather forecasters and other channels never say anything conclusively. They always use the word 'MAY'.

MSNBC just posted an article on this "super moon".
They are saying it may or may not effect the earth.

If the "SuperMoon" were such a huge effect, then there would be more of a correlation between earthquakes and weather disasters and the "perihelion" of the moon. Even a month or two "following" -- if it were caused by the moon, you would see a statistically significant relationship.
On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.
The question is not actually so crazy. In fact scientists have studied related scenarios for decades. Even under normal conditions, the moon is close enough to Earth to make its weighty presence felt: It causes the ebb and flow of the ocean tides.
