Nope I am convinced there is more to it then just plate movement and stress build up.

I am still hanging my hat on the gravitational anomalies thought...lol

UPDATE:

INCOMING CME: Sunspot AR1471 erupted on May 7th, producing an M1-class solar flare and an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). According to a forecast track prepared by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather lab, the cloud will reach Earth on May 9th at 13:40 UT (+/- 7 hours).

Minor but should be interesting to see if there is any effect on the current lull in 5+ earthquakes.
