Perigee Full Moon - connections with natural disasters

[pmrid]

Tonight is the night of the largest perigee full moon since March, 1983 (according to reports quoted in the Astromart web site today).
Does anyone know of any decent science done on the possible relationships between these perigee moons and things like earthquakes?

Nahhh, earthquakes happen when their ready to happen.
Though I believe they do have data on the relationship between mining near a fault line and earthquakes.
