Original Note:
There is no scientific basis for the claim of increased earthquake risk. Quakes are always possible in areas with active faults, but quake rates show no correlation with solar activity level, flares, CMEs, sunspots, aurora, etc: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/do-solar-flares-or-magnetic-storms-space-weather-cause-earthquakes https://www.usgs.gov/programs/geomagnetism/science/overview#publications https://www.thesuntoday.org/solar-science/flares-and-earthquakes/ Fact-checks of user's earthquake claims: https://www.vice.com/en/article/kz4jyz/earthquake-conspiracy-theorists-are-wreaking-havoc-during-emergencies https://www.inverse.com/science/earthquake-prediction-dutchsinse-holmquist-conspiracy
