Since 13:00 UTC yesterday there has been another pattern of quakes associated with a solar electron flux graph starting above the median line. This time as the line slowly settled down to close to the second mark there was a string of 5M quakes scattered widely around the Pacific, without a single 6M quake. This was also associated with a new eruption of Tungurahua and an eruption at another, not recently erupting volcano in Ecuador, fitting the FIVE Rule of my Digest.

The best that can be said about this is that the flux line dropping from above the median is associated with 5M quakes, even with a dip at the low point usually associated with 6M quakes.
