Meanwhile on planet ZOG:
As far as looking at the USA map and for that matter High Pressure,
this stuff is as new to me as it is to you lot.
One of the first things I noticed decades ago was that the weather in
the North Atlantic held severe Lows off almost as if "at bay" fending
them off until their appointed time. I was working with microfiches of
daily newspapers in public libraries. All I had available to me then.
I began to suspect that a force was building up, for I could see that
when the Low went ashore usually at Norway or Scotland there was
either a severe earthquake or reports of some other terrible thing in
the same papers.
The only other data I had access to was the weather reports on the
radio. They used to be excellent and I could do wonderful things with
them even then.

I was also working on astronomical stuff about the moon and etc., at
the same time. Trying to fit it all in. Obviously they are going to
tell me the same thing if they are related. In fact all earthquake
forecasting methods must have a lot in common no matter how far from
obvious that commonality is.
But air pressure is dispersed throughout the columns and there is no
real weight above or below normal on the earth itself. If there is,
what is it? 50 millibars either side of average? Call it 100mb or 35
inches in a column of mercury that could reach 32 inches.
What's that? 5/32 of about 15 lbs per square inch. More than that
falls on the earth with a heavy shower. More than that; -hundreds of
times more, with each tide. But tides come in and out regularly.
Quakes are not regular are they? And on top of the tides lie the
waves. Imagine the weight travelling across the planet on each swell.
Some of them 40 and 50 feet high. (Accompanied by 40 and 50 foot
troughs.)
I don't like to assert a cause when I plainly don't know exactly what
is happening. But I am pretty sure it is not air pressure or tides.
But even if I get it wrong and that could happen, it is early days yet
