Thanks, Lowell. That is a fabulous site.

Can I assume the EQ risk is the same for total and annular eclipses? If so, watch out PNW.

I understand why an annular eclipse casts a wider swath across the earth's surface than a total eclipse. My question is: What bearing does this wider swath have upon possible eclipse-triggered EQs? Is every point in the annular swath equally vulnerable (provided the swath passes over strained fault zones)?

Also, what are those ovals within the annular paths?

One more question, if you can stand it.

I saw the historical charts on the site, but that many numbers on a single page gives me migraines.

Can anyone tell me what the odds are of an eclipse-inspired EQ happening before totality or annularity vs. after totality or annularity? I always assumed these EQs occured with a few days after totality, but that site's charts indicates they can happen before. I'm just wondering about the odds. 50-50?
20-80? Will I really have to travel to some non-fault zone to finally see a total eclipse?

Mark's warning to get out of Dodge before the annular or total eclipse is now seen in a different light, so to speak.

Thanks to both of you.
