A few minutes ago, a class X1.3 solar flare was detected. followed by an X-ray absorption over the Americas.

And what does this have to do with earthquakes?

On March 09, 2011 there was an X1.5 class solar flare
X-FLARE: March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare. Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166 around 2323 UT.
Spaceweather.com Time Machine

Two days later from the X flare happened the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011, also called Great Sendai Earthquake or Great Tōhoku Earthquake, severe natural disaster that occurred in northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011. The event began with a powerful earthquake off the northeastern coast of Honshu, Japan’s main island, which caused widespread damage on land and initiated a series of large tsunami waves that devastated many coastal areas of the country, most notably in the Tōhoku region (northeastern Honshu). The tsunami also instigated a major nuclear accident at a power station along the coast.

According with this study


The results showed that X beams influenced seismicity in terrestrial localities, mainly high magnitude earthquakes occurring below the crust at 70 km. These internal enhancements happen without the presence of any external forces such as studied in Solar Speed Winds. Nevertheless, those variations are perceptible in the presence of intense X flares and CME and less observed in the periods during which flares were absent. Two cases of high magnitude earthquakes in recent years are analyzed, and the extreme external conditions of those events fit with this theory.

Alert, just on case, if you live in a area prone to high magnitude earthquakes

The first earthquake M7.0 on 30 march was updated to M6.9

This latest M6.8 earthquake happened a couple of hours after a Kp5 (minor) geomagnetic storm was announced.


We would have to wait for what happens with the arrival of the coronal mass ejection that ejected the class X1.3 solar flare this morning and that is expected to arrive on 2 April.
