Very interesting read.
March 19 'Supermoon' May Cause Moonquakes, Scientist Says - FoxNews.com

Scientists say it ain't so but amatures claim the super moon events can be linked to geological events on the earth. Here is a tid-bit but the excerpt is one sided, to get both sides read the whole article.

On March 19, Earth’s satellite will be at its closest point to our planet in 18 years -- a mere 356,577 kilometers away. The event -- also called a lunar perigee -- was dubbed a "supermoon" by astrologer Richard Nolle back in the 1970s. The term is used to describe a new or full moon at 90% or more of its closest orbit to Earth. Next week, it will be at 100%.

Nolle is responsible for coining the upcoming event, and he’s also responsible for the latest buzz sweeping the Internet about how the supermoon will affect the planet. On his website Astropro, Nolle warns Earth’s inhabitants to prepare themselves during the “supermoon risk window,” which ranges from March 16 – 22. During this time, Nolle claims there will be an increase in supreme tidal surges, magnitude 5 or higher earthquakes, and even volcanic activity.

“If you look at the USGS website where they have all the significant earthquakes of 2011, you will find that 72.7% of them fall in the risk windows on my website,” Nolle told FoxNews.com. “The Christchurch earthquake happened on the last day of a supermoon window. The Haiti earthquake even happened in one of the time windows in my 2010 forecast -- which was published the year before.”
Scientific research said otherwise.

My simple question is: Could the large earthquake that has destroyed much of Japan be related to the Super Moon event? If the gravitational forces are changed and cause tides to swell, why not also the earth's plates to shift. Just because the Super Moon is not due to happen for about a week doesn't mean that the gravitational forces have not already started? Right? I dunno, just sayin...
