- Interestingly enough, your feeling quakes as you nod off around
- 4:30-5:00 p.m. may not be a coincedince. The largest probability of
- earthquakes (please correct me if I misquote fact, or if this is
- unproven---all you geologists out there)
- is when the sun and the moon are re-inforcing each other's pull on
- the earth. This happens at the new moon (or is it the full moon? or
- both perhaps?--I think it's both) for a given month. And its at
- high tide (or is it low tide? or both perhaps? --I think it's both)
- So this is dusk and dawn (I know its dusk *AND* dawn)
- This means, that like the 5:04 p.m. quake, many quakes happen in
- this time---interesting, eh?
