NASA needs to fire whomever made that quote. Sounds like they know less about earthquake science than you do.
Simply because some quakes occur without flares, and some flares do not produce quakes does not mean that no quake is related to a flare. Also, making a statement like this less than a week after the event with absolutely no studies done on cause is absurd.

The two phenomena are not linked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335110 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
