Many people here in Turkey will think solar eclipse triggered this. Strong 1999 earthquake in Turkey also happened just some weeks after the full solar eclipse. I think it is just a coincidence though.
Edit: wording.

#42How do they appropriately measure earthquakes so deep? It had a magnitude of 8.1 on the surface level, however it happened at a depth of 32000 meters! so was it a magnitude 9 earthquake down there, or does the 8.4 already take into account the depth?
32 Kilometers is not very far in earthquake terms. Machines all over the world can feel small earthquakes no matter where they happen, and this is a very big earthquake.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is what you call "a theory", but it's one with no evidence to back it up. Can you point to other videos of electric grid damage that look similar? The idea of "Earthquake lights" is also a theory, but it's becoming increasingly more likely these days as evidence piles up.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, have you not seen high voltage lines blow up before personally? Or are you just making a point in this regard? Because the flashes of lights you see on the horizon etc during a heavy storm knocking over transformers and main…
I saw a transmission line arcing while driving the other night, just over the crest of a hill. It looked like an alien abduction was in progress. I only know it came from a downed line because a minute later I arrived at the scene and was just able to stop before running over the still live wires lying on the freeway.

Are there studies on possible tidal effects (if any) that an eclipse situation could cause?

Tides have an influence on earthquakes [1], but spring tides due to Sun and Moon lining up happen about twice a month, so I don't think that the Eclipse is a likely cause.

You can triangulate the location from many stations, and work backward to determine how strong it must have been at the origin.

Yes, the reported numbers account for the distance between the seismometer and the epicenter of the earthquake, they are the maximum intensity of the quake.

#48One side if the tectonic plate at Japan and indonesia have had movement, now the otherside at mexico, so North Western America must be under more and more strain.
Idaho has had a series of smaller earthquakes over the last few days. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/earthquake-swarm-contin...

Gotta love Reddit in Turkey then. (Possibly already blocked though)
"Magnitude 8.0 Earthquake strikes off Mexico's coast. A Magnitude 8.0 Earthquake was predicted by a Redditor just a day earlier on this subreddit."

#50Really cool "green lightning" effect observed before and during the earthquake: https://mobile.twitter.com/AlanEchelon96/status/906031454529... I believe this phenomenon is still not understood...
