2002 TrendI checked out the NEIC web site and found out there were 23 earthquakes of magnitude 5.9 or above. That is about 1 a day. NEIC claims that on average there are only about 1 such earthquake every 3 days.

Last 5 days; a 7.9 in Alaska, a 7.7 near Sumatra, the two 5.somethings in Italy with Etna blowing, and also a Volcano erupting in Pakistan, with a 5.+ earthquake there. Also a big one in Northern Japan. In the last 30 days, 108 earthquakes of 5 or above. Sounds like a lot. A 7.5 just hit Ascension Island (Near St. Helena) and a 5.2 in Southern Japan. Plus another volcano, this time in Quito, Ecuador. A sudden increase.

An article on the Rense site in turn leads to this URL listing earthquakes 6+ and above. 500 earthquakes just since 20 August 2002 (listed bottom of page of above URL) Wow!
