1. You know I wondered whether there would be a quake today

after that asteroid flew past earth early this morning. I read about that somewhere.

3. That 3m asteroid that halfway to the moon away?

If that could cause a quake, the earth would tear apart when the moon passed overhead.

5. Just something I read Coyoti

and just a feeling.

6. No way.

There is no causal link between tides and earthquakes.

It's been looked at, and there is no correlation.
