Hmmmm.. Like I said, ya never know. ;-)
Good work!
Most major earthquakes are near a solstice because the gravitational fields of the moon and the sun are fighting each other. Add a perigee and it looks like a cinch for an earthquake/tsunami!
It’s the end of the world as we know it.....and I feel fine... ;)
