Earthquake weather

Clear skies, highs between 75 and 80, lows between 40 and 50, and humidity so low your sinuses tend to bleed.

This is usual weather for one our major earthquakes here in SoCal. Yikes!

But doesn't Earth Quake season usually begin in late March? I think April is peak.

Am I right?

Excuse me for saying, but that's really superstitious. But, the nose bleeds don't sound like much fun!!

Plate tectonics gives a hoot about weather, or season?

Landers 6-28-1992 7.2 magnitude
Whittier Narrows 10-10-1987 5.9 magnitude
Sylmar 2-09-1971 6.6 magnitude caused our driveways in Orange County to look like really good breakers when surfing

Yes, but weather pattern was consistent for all four. ooh, eerie...

Maybe it's just me-after all, I was in Miami for beginning of Andrew, and had just left New Orleans 2 days before Katrina!

Maybe I'm a walking WMD
