The theory is that geomagnetic storm activity can affect earthquake occurrence times. This latest intense storm should be one which might give that theory at test. If there are any significant looking earthquakes then perhaps they can be evaluated to see if their fault zones were directly beneath the path of the storm when it hit the Earth etc.

These magnetic energy field - earthquake occurrence time link studies are fairly involved and too far away from the forecasting work that I am doing for me to be able to do very much along the lines of studying them. However I have another project along those lines which I am planning to try to get going.

I am thinking about trying to get a list of the various types of solar and geomagnetic storms such as X-ray or electron or proton, and then maintain some type of record regarding when they occurred and see if Ear Tones and similar warning signals were being detected during a particular type storms. I believe that this is the case.

Somewhat surprisingly, with this latest intense solar storm I hardly detected any Ear Tones at all myself. At other times they were heard throughout the day for days at a time. There might have been 5 or more during a single day.

Several people have volunteered to contribute some Ear Tone data to add to my own data. However the project is not fully organized at the moment.

There are some important evaluation data which should become available in a week or two regarding one particular forecasting method. Success / failure records have been put into tables and studied. When that report is ready for release we should be able to discuss its data, outcome, and significance here.
