Well, I thought this was a more accepted concept than it is, but I guess not.
For your reading pleasure:
Change in magnetic field: an early warning system to understand seismotectonics
Universality in solar flare and earthquake occurrence
Earthquakes, Solar Flares, and Solar Wind Anaylsis
Whether solar flares can trigger earthquakes

Hopefully, that'll shed a bit more light on this growing theory for you. I don't think anyone is saying that every earthquake is caused by CME's, but when you have massive ejections like yesterdays they can certainly contribute to instability in the Earth's magnetic field, which leads to tectonic shifting.
Cheers!

I was waiting for something to happen after hearing about the massive solar flare yesterday, but nothing this big.

Hmmm. Now it makes sense why that young chinese couple, at my yard sale on saturday, paid $2 for a Revell space shuttle model I built in the eighties.

Excuse me, I have a phone call to make.
