I think that this is something that Theo could answer. Just as a mind game - Earth as one of the small planets orbiting close to the Sun is being dragged around by the Sun which is being displaced by the other planets. Looking at theskylive.com/ (which is all I could easily find ) It seems that Earth is on the 'other side' of the Sun to many of the other planets. This arrangement could be why the Sun is not behaving normally. I won't mention barycenters but all the CMEs recently must have some trigger. So let's assume that like other stars with planets the Sun has a wobble. If it wobbles - Earth wobbles if that happens at the 'right time' in the Earth's orbit I would think that the inertial effects would be quite large. Take a planet in a stable acceleration keeping it in orbit and change the vector of that acceleration - got to have some effects. The Earth could be described as a large droplet of molten rock and metals with a thin crust almost like a rock bubble. I would expect any weak spots in the bubble to creak and leak if that bubble of molten rock was to have its vector changed. That is before any 'magnetic ropes' to the Earth's core are involved. So the hypothesis is that it is not the Sun per se it is the overall chaotic movements of the Sun due to the other planets that is affecting the Earth's path through space and the subsequent inertial effects. The movement of the other planets is also affected, amplified or damped by the inertia of the Sun. At those stages where the inertia becomes noticeable one would expect stressed edges of tectonic plates and the crust to creak and the oceans to 'slop' somewhat and more cold upwelling to occur. There is a hypothesis to be falsified

Just an unsettled tummy? "Since last Monday, the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network has detected a total of 23 earthquakes at Mount Rainier, with as many as eight located earthquakes per day. A ālocatedā earthquake is one large enough to be recorded on at least four seismic stations, according to the US Geological Survey. This area usually experiences two located earthquakes each week, meaning this weekās activity is undeniably higher than normal." www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4908354/Mount-Rainier-fears-swarm-20-mini-quakes-hit.html

Unfortunately paywalled but the abstract is interesting.

Are you still with us Code? Sorry, I was hiding under my desk but yeah, I'm still around. Rainier always has been moving and we have Baker to the North plus a host of other characters but I'm more concerned about the faults in the area. Most people are interested in the possibility of a Cascadia Megathrust Subduction Zone Super Quake of +9.0 lasting 5 minutes and I have to tell you the scenario is spooky. But they happen within a 300-500 year range, last one in 1700, "The last known great earthquake in the northwest was the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. Geological evidence indicates that great earthquakes (> magnitude 8.0) may have occurred sporadically at least seven times in the last 3,500 years, suggesting a return time of about 500 years.[3][4][5] Seafloor core evidence indicates that there have been forty-one subduction zone earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone in the past 10,000 years, suggesting a general average earthquake recurrence interval of only 243 years" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_subduction_zonebut overall I'm more concerned about Seattle Fault or the Whidbey Island Fault as those faults break on a more frequent cycle www.king5.com/news/local/disaster/why-you-need-to-be-prepared-these-are-the-3-big-earthquake-threats/457421137and the Odds are not in our favor āPerhaps more striking than the probability numbers is that we can now say that we have already gone longer without an earthquake than 75 percent of the known times between earthquakes in the last 10,000 years,ā oregonstate.edu/ua/ncs/archives/2010/may/odds-huge-quake-Northwest-next-50-yearsHmm, I'm gonna have to look at my supplies today. Volcanic eruptions give a lot more warning. Bali is evacuating people well in advance of an eruption. Great quakes occur when the stress ātrip wireā is triggered. Sleep with one eye open Code.

There is still a lot of available space in central Kansas Code. I have doubts about the skiing though.

[ Snip] There is still a lot of available space in central Kansas Code. I have doubts about the skiing though. How about water skiing in the wetlands?
