@kmn_terr Well, with peak slip concentrated updip from the hypocenter, I'd assume depth was the limiting factor in tsunami generation? I'd expect this type of rupture geometry to encourage larger tsunami generation, but I guess that is conditional on depth.

@ghost42_00@Gabe529Wx@webberweather Yes, this year is fcst to be significant ENSO wise, however there is no correlation between ENSO and earthquakes, and there is no way to forecast earthquakes. A M8-9 class quake is possible this year just as it is possible any other year.
@ghost42_00@Gabe529Wx Major earthquakes occur during el nino, la nina, and neutral phases. ENSO is a measure of SST anomalies while the vast majority of these major earthquakes are due to plate boundaries which occur kilometers under the sfc of the earth.
