Yeah, yeah ... I know it's myth. Sure is beautiful in NorCal today though. Just like October 17th, 1989.

Earthquake weather is a type of weather popularly believed to precede earthquakes.
Since ancient times, the notion that weather can somehow foreshadow coming seismic activity has been the topic of much discussion and debate. Geologist Russell Robinson has described "earthquake weather" as one of the most common pseudoscientific methods of predicting earthquakes.

In northern California, that usually mean ideal conditions -- not too hot, cold, humid, windy, etc.

however I do not believe there is any scientific data that backs this up
and we don't have enough major events to make any sort of statistical analysis

Am I wrong: It wouldn't be called a myth if it were true and backed up by facts and data ???

We've had plenty of disasters here in the North Bay in the last few years, like to get most recent cleaned up before another comes. Besides, earthquake weather is usually warm, overcast and a little windy. Today was perfectly beautiful
