1. An earthquake and 2 hurricanes

They must think the world is about to end.

...and with the two hurricanes coming, that can only mean one thing.

13. Given the tectonic setting of Hawaii, it is likely the earthquake is the result

of magma intrusion from the mantle plume beneath.

10. Earthquakes and tropical cyclones sometimes occur together in the Pacific region

the hypothesis is that it has something to do with the anomalous barometric pressure.

[Maedhros]

14. Do you have a source for that?

I would find it remarkable that earthquakes would result from atmospheric conditions.

Oldish, seems like a valid source. Not a direct link but a connection. Seems more "long term" than instantaneous.

11. Damn you Obama

12. that is mild

If a 4.3 was centered 10 miles away it would not be noticeable.

California had 725 earthquakes in the last week:
