Earthquake hits Burma

The earth is restless.

There seems to be a lot of these lately.

There does seem to be more than usual.

I suspect that there is probably some sort of cycle for these things that we haven't figured out yet. Much the same way the sun has an 11 year cycle for sun storms and the US has a 20 year cycle for high/low hurricane impact probability.

We are in an usually high period of solar flares. (That article is a bit out there. I'm sure there is a better one around.)

No one really knows how it affects us because they have never recorded this high a level before. There is not enough historical data to compare to.

Since the last wednesday happened two earthquakes of +6.0 richter only by difference of two minutes and with epicenters not too much far... I try to think that this is normal, but I can't avoid to get afraid of this.

Let's conjecture a little. There is a lot of solar flare activity. This means unusual events on the sun, some of them very likely gravitic in nature.

We are close enough to the sun for it to affect the ocean tides, so why not the land tides? A little extra set of wave forms in the tectonic plates might give rise to a few extra shakes here and there.
