Update: 5:12pm Eastern Time

Earthquake Condition Index: B to B+
Coronal hole is earth facing, planets are lining up, and the spaceweather is disappointing however. The sunspot peak has passed. So much for the unusual location rumbles… let’s hope the larger magnitude shaking is done.

Remember, yesterday was Saturday – a new FOTW was posted as well [Dr. U-yen returns]
