Note: There was a Supermoon (Strawberry Moon) yesterday. Some research has suggested a connection to lunar cycles and seismic activity. I have pointed out the connection many times over the years. The theory relates the gravitation pull on magma under the tectonic plates similar to tides.

Correlation is not causation, but I wanted to remind you I have not forgotten if we have discussed it before.

 

Remember This…?

On August 23, 2011 a M 5.8 quake hit Mineral, VA. That was about 10,000 times larger in intensity. That resulted in structural damage to structures in Washington and Annapolis. It was also felt for hundreds of miles.
