11 reports of tornadoes in Florida and Alabama for the 8th. And while
there an whole slew of earthquakes apparent, I can't get a glimpse of
a pattern yet.

(Not counting the Fox Islands ones of course. (Too obvious that.))


Looking at the predisposition of earthquakes to second guess what I am
going to say, the day before I even consider saying it:

One might expect there to be more than one link to storms and
seismicity.

Which ties in nicely to a think I though some days back.
I was wondering; with the plethora of highs and lows surrounding the
whole of coastal North America, how would you work out which one was
causing which quake?

And the answer is that the answer doesn't matter. You only need to be
aware of one immutable constant. The rest will either follow or not as
their individual cases might be.

At the moment though, I am still stuck in a chicken or egg situation.
Perhaps that makes the question important. I rather think that that
quake occurred with the storm there rather than after.

Which begs another question, why does California get earthquakes all
the time and Britain get storms in like measure?

The more questions you answer the more questions you can think up.
It's base over apex, like pyramid sales. There is no way to win.
