OF THE
TIMES
In February of 2010 an 8.8 magnitude earthquake - and resultant tsunami (generally less than 2.5 meters) - struck offshore of Chile, leaving roughly 500 people dead and several hundred thousand homes damaged.
In September of 2010, a 7.1 quake struck the Christchurch, New Zealand region causing serious damage, but little loss of life. Nearly 6 months later, a shallow 6.3 magnitude aftershock struck even closer to Christchurch, causing far more damage, and claiming a significant loss of life.
And most recently, a 9.0 earthquake and massive Tsunami struck off the coast of Honshu, Japan likely claiming thousands of lives (still uncounted) and doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage.
Comment: As it turns out, gravitational tidal forces might not be all there is to this phenomena. According to James McCanney, any celestial alignment (such as a full or new moon) has the potential to cause a current flow in the solar system, thus disrupting the electrical balance of Earth which then leads to extreme weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. For more information, see:
