Let's see now maybe that Japanese storm was too far north for the
regular coverage such things normally get from Hawaii:

OK, let's go over it again for the hard of reading.

This morning a Cat 4 tropical storm appeared over Japan. No warnings
from any agency I saw.

I was actually looking there and didn't see it..
What it was is that something was updating each time I looked so I
just assumed they were newrather than looking at them properly.

Slip shod I know but no one is paying me and if I thought anyone
beside the inane was reading my stuff I'd still be too cursory. A
small flaw in my nature, I am afraid.

I know not everyone is thick as pig-pooh but I seem to have picked up
a stalker with that qualification, I can't imagine why. But since I am
a nice guy and quite like helping people...

As a rule of thumb, a space of a day or so between earthquakes of
Magnitude 5 or over indicates a severe storm is brewing.

Maybe a 12 hour gap means something, if it does, what it does, I don't
know.

When a storm peters out, the phenomenon of two or more earthquakes in
much the same place as each other, appearing consecutively in the same
NEIC list, occurs.

Another axiom is that the weather in the UK might be bad or (by
British standards) wet, when a storm suddenly blows up, the weather
here then changes to sunny. Of course (for the sake of Dawlish once
more) it goes without saying the storm if arrives in Britain (rather
than for example the tropics) the opposite effect is more likely to be
true.

(I'm sitting here laughing at what the plonker makes of that. Sad or
what?)
