The original poster missed the frequency though. They happen every year.

Now, do really big ones only happen as rarely as he claims. Can't find data, so don't know.

The 'Paul LaViolette' search tip was useful. Solid info also from that guy, not all new-age-mumbo-jumbo-gibberish, like most of the folks.
