JACKSONVILLE, Fla – Full moons have historically been associated with devastating Earthquakes, a few years ago I went through the calendars over the past 100 years and found that most of the biggest Earthquakes were within days of a full moon. Well, this weekend, late this week too, folks may be doubly spooked by this months full moon rising on Friday the 13th!
Actually, it occurs on the night of the 12th (Thursday) at 12:12am EDT on Friday the 13th!
