Fortunately it was quite deep.

It is about three days after a full moon. Most occur then or after a new moon.
There's no earthquake/moon phase correlation, though people desperately seem to want to believe there is one.
There's a new or full moon twice every 28 days. If you start counting 3 days on either side of a new or full moon as "hits" then you're counting 12 days out of 28, or almost half the month.
To: Strategerist
I've been studying the correlations for about twenty years
with emails from USGS EIC. The tidal effect is clear.

The Earth's fractured crust is pulled on by the moon and the sun. Sometimes the gravitational pulls work together and sometimes in opposition, and all that is in conjunction with the crust bulging out at the equator due to centrifugal force. All these conflicting forces work the fracture lines and play games with the tides. It takes a tide chart or computer program to know what the tides are going to be doing at any place at any time.

The link will soon be made to climate change [aka as global warming but the earth hasn’t been warming for 10 years.]

Yikes! Passing this on to my best friend.
His Japanese wife and his sons are on Honshu. They go there every summer to visit family when the boys are out of school.
To: Strategerist
Scientists also claim there is no correlation between a full moon and crazy behavior by humans...
They obviously spend too much time in a lab and not enough working with the public. I used to work in a bank and you could tell there was a full moon just by the behavior of the clients.

quite a ways from Tokyo; until something actually hits there, these big quakes will unfortunately not be news.
To: Strategerist
I met Waverly Person from USGS EIC in Golden CO at a a Mensa meeting. I was then an MTS at Bell Labs in Denver.
The correlation intrigued me.
The tidal effect is clear

Hotels note that bedsheets are scattered all over and twisted in knots during the full moon. People sleep restlessly.

Thanks for the ping. Any more news? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

No, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I will take a look. IIRC, the overall area has been active since the 7.0 Honshu quake.

Now Dear Heart . . .
some folks . . . uhhhh . . . convictions . . .
on such matters are more . . . uhhhh
established . . . than the Rocky Mountains’ granite peaks.
I think there’s some granite peaks in CO, anyway! LOL.
In which case . . . influencing their convictions otherwise would take quite a string of successive nukes.
