[edit] disambig

I have disambiguated this page from Earthquake Weather, which is about an album by The Clash My mistake—it's not by The Clash; it was an independent project by one of its members.. The following text, added by IP addresses 70.199.10.223 and 70.199.159.100 on 29 Jan 2006 and by 70.198.237.230 on 31 January 2006, was in the article. If it is to be restored, some sort of record of authorship (even by the IP addresses) will need to be provided somewhere prominent for GFDL purposes. (Also it needs to be cleaned up into WP style). --Trovatore 06:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous text

(Went ahead and put it in the article, so I've removed it from here.) --Trovatore 06:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted some irrelevancies

Removed a bunch of stuff about a study that hasn't happened and a link that isn't there yet - absurd attempt to make something of nothing. Expanded USGS myth quote - as it was the only relevant serious reference. Removed the celebration of the 1906 earthquake bit as irrelevant. The whole thing needs to go to WP:AFD.

[edit] Weather affecting quakes

It may be worth mentioning that while there is no scientific basis for "earthquake weather" as the myth prefers it, there may be some basis for heavy rainfall causing previously stuck faults to be lubricated and thus more likely to move.
