I believe there are numerous documented cases of dam-building inducing earthquakes via water mass and fault lubrication. Both factors ought to be expected in the aftermath of a hurricane. Not to say that the effect is statistically strong , as in hurricane = earthquake, but certainly physically plausible under the right circumstances.

Thank you. Statistically possible under perfect circumstances was my only other point. That, and just triggering an event earlier then was going to happen anyhow. For instance, let's suppose this hurricane hit San Francisco at full moon and high tide.
