Dad grew up in KY. Served in the USN in the Pacific during WW II. Took a job in a machine shop in LA for a while before returning home to KY. He experienced multiple tremblers that had the suspended shop lights swaying from side to side. Local guys in the shop just laughed while he stood there wide eyed watching everything shake and swing... Very minor point, from one that grew up with quakes... a little shaking is called a "temblor" not a trembler. Yeah well. Some temblors have made me tremble.

I'd say the first one was 5.8-6.2 and the second a 4.0 on the richter scale. Finally a thread that came around....
Thanks persiandog

A couple of the shakers on this thread make me tremble...

Actually, the sky is PULLING.
It's my long-standing theory that solar/lunar tidal effects cause earthquakes and volcanoes. It has been common knowledge for centuries that the moon and sun cause ocean tides, and that the effect changes with the phase of the moon. Full and new moons create higher tides than at other times. The sun, though farther away, has the same effect.
It is not unreasonable to assume that if tides can pull trillions of tons of water up by many feet, there is an equal pull (if not result) on the Earth's crust. Any small movement in the crust can result in earthquakes and volcanic activity. I agree with your hypothesis, With the Earth's crust effectively "floating" on a semi solid (or would that be semi liquid?) mantle, tidal forces would naturally have an effect on crust movement. Yep...and remember, any time water hits that hot rock, additional pressures build....
