Thank you Ted, the information David Nelms sent you was good reading and informative and the conclusion was refreshingly straightforward...

Conclusions
Hydrogeologic responses to large distant earthquakes have important scientific implications with regard to our earth’s intricate plumbing system. The exact mechanism linking hydrogeologic changes and earthquakes is not fully understood, but monitoring these changes improves our insights into the responsible mechanisms, and may improve our frustratingly imprecise ability to forecast the timing, magnitude, and impact of earthquakes.

Now I know more about well changes from earthquakes than I did know but I still don't know a lot.
Strange World indeed.
