Supermoon


The moon is coming much closer than usual to the Earth. This is called a "supermoon" ... see:CBS News Story. I have in the past associated such events with large earthquakes ... see: Quaking in Our Boots and Copy Cat. So it is no surprise (to me) that there was just a large 8.3 magnitude earthquake of the coast of Chili ... see: The Guardian Story.

This current supermoon won't actually reach its closest approach to us until September 27th. The fact that the sun will then also be in alignment ... a solar eclipse will occurs also on that very same day ... may make for even more dramatic tides in the Earth's crust.. Therefore, I think that it is only logical that our planet should soon experience some more of these large Earth shakers.

Be prepared.
