I don't know about the BS part. While we cannot predict earthquakes, I do think that the "supermoon" can be a trigger to a fault that is set to go. At first I thought that this was crap, but I did the arithmetic with the old F= GMm'/r^2 using the average distance the moon is from the earth which is about 384,400 KM, as opposed to the "super moon" distance of 350,000 KM and found a 17% difference in total force (in N*m^/kg), This is significant. If I really wanted to take the time and do it more accurate, then I would have to add the force exerted by gravity of the sun as it will be lined up with the moon at this time. We might get a couple of percent points from including the sun, but my point is that a 17% increase in total force per m^2 is enough to trigger an earthquake that is on the edge of going. The problem from a scientific standpoint is that we do not have enough date from super moons, and we cannot tell how close a quake if to going off as it is. Also, there are always hundreds of earthquakes going off, and it would be easy to say that one’s hypothesis is correct just by closing your eyes and pointing to a map. This is what the infamous Major Ed Dames does on Coast-2-Coast. George Snoory is way too stupid to get a clue that Dames says that next year there will be a big quake on some fault line, and gets it right. There is always quakes going off on fault lines, and this dip-Sh** just cashes in on it. Dames is even taking credit for the latest Japan quake even though he predicted it in 2004. What a dork.
