Restless Earth

Once again, as seems to be the case with many of our quakes, it strikes in winter not long after a major cold snap and heavy rain. I realize nobody puts any stock into the theory of "earthquake weather" but the more this happens the more and more difficult it becomes to ignore it. People seem to readily accept that mankind is irreparably altering the climate. If that's so easy to accept, why is it so far fetched to think that short term weather patterns can affect seismic activity?
I'm reminded of the scene from Independence Day: "It's only a 4 pointer. Go back to sleep." - brought on by the fact that as I was writing this the USGS has downgraded the magnitude from 5.0 to 4.5.

Well. I guess that's that then.
I'm willing to credit the possibility that your "earthquake weather" theory might indeed be on target, I just am not in a position to do anything with it myself. *shrug*
Glad to hear it was just another mild nap buster.
