Of interest from today - particularly the M4.9 in Oregon, the two above M4 in Greece, the M4.4 in Albania and those in China and Burma/Myanmar and Iran:
Regarding the Oregon quake:

https://www.sott.net/article/318566-Earthquake-swarms-reported-at-Mt-Hood-Mt-Rainier-and-Mt-St-Helens-Is-a-major-eruption-imminent said:Mt. Hood
Mount Hood is located only about 50 miles away from Portland, Oregon, and it is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in America. Over the past 30 days, there have been 96 earthquakes at Mt. Hood, and most of them have been centered on the south side of the mountain. Why this is so alarming is because it was also the south side of Mt. St. Helens that violently exploded back in 1980.
Here is a map which shows the recent activity at Mt. Hood...
According to Wired, the majority of the earthquakes that are happening are at a depth of between 3 and 5 kilometers, and this could be a sign that magma is ascending...
Right now, the earthquake swarm at Mt. Hood is centered just to the south of the main edifice (see below) and most of the earthquakes are between 3 and 5 kilometers below the surface. This is likely the zone where magma is being staged as it ascends from its source.
And further, according to RSOE:
Earthquake in USA on May 17 2016 03:31 AM (UTC).
Situation Update No. 2 on May 20 2016 05:08 PM (UTC)
Fears are mounting a massive volcanic eruption could be on its way after a swarm of 62 mini-earthquakes were recorded around one of American's biggest mountains. A series of tremors continued for around 24 hours. Minor tremors are common around the Mt Hood volcano, which is located near to Portland, Oregon, with around three recorded every week within a 10 kilometre radius of the volcano. But for 63 in just 24 hours is extremely rare and could be a sign that an eruption is on its way. A spate of small tremors around a volcano usually signifies that magma and gasses beneath the surface are beginning to navigate their exit. Portland State University Geology Professor Emeritus Scott Burns told KATU News: "If you get swarms under a working volcano, the working hypothesis is that magma is moving up underneath there." The tremors began on Sunday and continued into the beginning of this week. The massive volcano, which reaches a height of 3,429 metres, has experienced four major eruptions in the last 15,000 years, but three of those have come in the last 1,800 years. The last major one occurred in 1782 and erupted for almost two decades. The news follows on from a similar announcement regarding St Helens volcano in Washington, where a spate of tremors have also been felt. Professor Burns continued: "It just reminds us that we live in a geologically active area.Volcanoes do occur periodically. "It may be related to an eventual eruption. If it is, we will know well in advance." Yellowstone volcano has been another US volcano which has showed signs that it is about to burst into life. Terrifying footage recently emerged which shows steam and ash rising beneath the surface of the 2,805m tall volcano, which is probably the deadliest in the US, in Wyoming, fuelling fresh concern it could be about to blow.
Since the connection between the sun and earthquakes has been largely introduced here, I thought that it would be interesting to share this article in this thread :

This enhancement of the electrical current disrupt in some ways the magnetic field and may produce a downward of relatively charged particule in the atmosphere by some mechanisms ( like magnetotail reconnections : https://www.sott.net/article/318378-Magnetic-explosions-observed-by-NASA-spacecraft-for-first-time).
Hence, it increases the electric vertical gradient in the atmosphere which may engender atmospheric or geological phenomenas of compensation.
For the geological point of view, we have the piezoelectricity that Pierre highlighted in his book and Ben Davidson from Suspicious observer from his research.
For the atmosheric one, Gerald Pollack pointed out an interesting hypothesis about 'a fourth state of the water' and the electric current that could be produce by the dissociation of water in two differents charged states by the sun's radiation :
