Research indicates full moon link to tsunami disaster

 A full moon may have helped trigger the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26,
 2004, which caused a tsunami leading to the deaths of an estimated 300,000 people,
 according to a new study from The University of Northampton.

 Robin Crockett, a senior lecturer in mathematics at the University's School of
 Applied Sciences and colleagues monitored tremors between October 2004 and August
 2005, collecting tidal data along the Java/Sumatra trench.

 They found that major quakes were 86 per cent more likely around new and full
 moons ...

 and this snip from a Russian group -

 " ... the researchers analysed data collected over 28 years from the Pacific
 `ring of fire' - a region of intense earthquake activity.  They found that
 the most severe earthquakes took place around the time of a new moon or a
 full moon."
