Alternatively you can find the dates for recent big quakes and check the lunar phase yourself. There's a very good chance of it being a day or two either side of new/full.
To the extent that of travelling to Japan, NZ or west coast USA I'd avoid these dates if possible. As for the solar eclipse next year ... yep it's a possible date for the Cascadia or San Andreas faults to slip. And both are overdue.

I don't argue that the moon kneading the earth's insides is not a cause for quakes. I do however argue that the "Super moon" is not a cause for terror when compared to every other full moon.
And that is what the crackpots I now spend as little time as possible discussing this stuff with do think. They quite literally blame it for yesterdays quake (Despite it neither being full nor at perigee at the time) and can trot out a list of other calamities that they blame on historical perigee full moons. The list being made more exhaustive by including things for about a week either side of the full moon. And some of them are "Chemtrail" adherents too.
