I wish there was a way to predict when and where. I've heard about planetary alignments, full/new moon, and solar activity, but it all typically makes sense in hindsight. I've heard 1000's of false predictions.

I focus on solar events and full/new moons. Thus, I'd highlight Dec 12 +/- 2 days (uptick in solar activity preceding a full moon). Also, Dec 22 +/- 1 day (expected very active solar event).

As we head into Super Moon on Dec 14, a coronal hole has brought Earth high-speed solar wind. Some earthquakes the past week.

M6.5 off coast of California: earthquake.usgs.gov
M7.8 near Solomon Islands: earthquake.usgs.gov
M6.3 in Indonesia: earthquake.usgs.gov

If I was told to make a "wild-ass" prediction, it'd be either the Pacific plate near New Zealand or in the East Pacific ridge toward Antarctica.

This high-speed solar wind impacts us through the 14th. This impact + super moon (where full moon is at its closest perigee = closest to Earth in elliptical orbit) keeps me hoping if there are big Earthquakes, they stay in the ocean.
