SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of wind accompanying earthquake aftershocks in Chengdu, China. Participants express skepticism about the scientific basis for this correlation, noting the need for statistical analysis to determine if wind occurs independently of aftershocks. The conversation highlights the potential for wind to influence fault stress, although no definitive research supports this claim. A link to a site discussing earthquake forecasting is shared, but participants are advised to approach its content critically.
