In the Earthquake section of Strategic Relocation, Joel introduces us to the quake prediction theory of SYZYGY where you combine solar and lunar cycles to figure when the Earth is being acted upon by the greatest amount of external gravitational forces.
Each year, there are typically two or three times when a full or new moon coincide with the moon being closest in its orbit to the Earth. Well, the two greatest quake windows this year have come and gone and during both, we saw significant quake activity. The first was Feb 28th +/- a few days either way. The second was yesterday, March 28th +/- a few days. This would include the timing of the big one in Afganistan.
Thanks Joel, it's good to be a step ahead of the game!
There is a web site where you can calculate the full/new moons for any year, along with the apogee and perigees meaning the times when the earth is closest or farthest from the Earth.

You may want to look ahead for the next few years and put some of these dates in your long-term calendars so you can avoid quake zones during the threat windows!

Earthquakes Facts & Lists
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/bytopic/
According to the US Geological Survey, only 8 earthquakes measured 6.0 or larger from 1890 to 1930. From 1930-1960, there were only 18. From 1960-1979, 64 “killer quakes” struck. From 1980 to 2003, there have been more than 200 major quakes in less than three decades.
It’s enough to make one feel a little “shaky" just pondering over these facts!
Monster Quakes 'May Come In Clusters'
Geologists used to answer with an emphatic "No" when asked if mega-earthquakes like the one that hit Southeast Asia last week can trigger temblors on the other side of the globe. Today, some experts are not so sure. Evidence is mounting that large earthquakes can rattle geologic formations more than 1,000 miles away - and perhaps even set off volcanic eruptions days, months or years later. There's also an intriguing hint that major earthquakes might occur in clusters: Nearly a third of the biggest quakes of the past century struck during a 20-year span between 1950 and 1970.

Be aware not only of the quake zones, but also of possible tsunami zones which will cause major disasters.
I would avoid coastal areas as well as areas of low elevation, prone to flooding.
Areas of past volcanic activity may become active again after major quakes.
Some areas may be prone to land slides from mountainous areas into valleys.
Add these areas to trying to find a low fallout zone and you quickly are left with a few areas in CONUS.
(will someone please advise me where they are :'> )
