What caused it from you point of view?


The moon, dopey!


Why do you say that? Is there a consensus about that, and among whom?
I checked my planetary program (SkyMapPro) and it says that at the exact
time of

the 9.0 earthquake, the Moon was 396 310.1 km from the Earth. The average
distance

of the Moon is 384 405 km, so its gravitational effect was much less than
normal at

the time of the quake.

Thanks for a long answer, anyway.

Don't fall down any crevasses.


Yes it do happen around here. One of my mountain friends
perished that way...

Ciao.
