The following Web page attempts to link certain types of electromagnetic
energy field fluctuations - EM signals - with events taking place in
earthquake fault zones around the world.

Hi All.  I watched a program the other night on NHK TV from Japan.
The program was about the evacuation plan for the Shizuoka area.  It

Occlusions in the North Sea should have produced larger quakes on June
5th than the 3.6 M in California. (The sole quake large enough for the
NEIC real time site that day.)
