       The NOAA Space Weather Chart shown below shows that there was no strong geomagnetic energy activity on April 24, 2015, the day that the 2014-04-25-Nepal10:05:00 April 24, 2015 high intensity EM Signal was detected.  Usually there is strong activity when the signals are detected.

       The NOAA Space Weather Chart shown below shows that there was no strong geomagnetic energy activity on April 13, 2015, at the time that the 02:02:00 April 13, 2015 high intensity EM Signal was detected.  Usually there is strong activity when the signals are detected.

       The yellow rectangle shaped bars on the NOAA Space Weather Chart shown below indicate that there was strong geomagnetic energy activity on April 10, 2015, the day that the 12:56:00 April 10, 2015 high intensity EM Signal was detected.

       The NOAA Space Weather Chart shown below shows that there was no strong geomagnetic energy activity on February 9, 2015, the day that the 12:06:00 February 9, 2015 high intensity EM Signal was detected.  Usually there is strong activity when the signals are detected.

EARTHQUAKE  AND  EM  SIGNAL  COMPARISON  CHART

        The chart below compares the April 25, 2015 Nepal earthquake with high intensity EM Signals that were detected on February 23 and April 13, 2015.  Both EM Signals are good matches with the April 25 earthquake.  And that suggests that the earthquake was triggered by the same sun and moon gravity related forces as caused the EM Signals to be generated.

       The fact that there is a strong line peak at around 85 E on the earthquake line indicates that the earthquake was probably triggered by the same sun and moon gravity related forces that were responsible for the triggering of quite a few past earthquakes that occurred at that longitude.

EARTHQUAKE  AND  EM  SIGNAL  COMPARISON  CHART
TABLE  DATA  FOR  THE  7.8  MAGNITUDE  APRIL  25,  2015
NEPAL  EARTHQUAKE

        The table below shows matches between the high intensity EM 7 signal detected on April 24, 2015 and more than 700 past earthquakes that produced at least one fatality since the start of 1973.

       Quite a few high intensity EM Signals that were detected during the weeks and months before the earthquake.  A number of them are being discussed on this Web page.  As of April 28, 2015 news reports are stating that the earthquake claimed more than 4000 lives.

     What is significant with the table below is the fact that the 4th highest probability location in the table for the destructive August 20, 1988 earthquake is relatively close to the location where the tremendously destructive April 25, 2015 earthquake occurred.

        The table below shows matches between the EM 6 signal detected on April 13, 2015 and all 7.5 and higher magnitude earthquakes that occurred since the start of 1973.

     The 16th highest probability location in the table is the April 25, 2015 earthquake itself.  And that means that the signal would have pointed to the exact location of the earthquake if a past earthquake that had that earthquake's triggering characteristics were in my database file.

        The table below shows matches between the EM 8 signal detected on February 23, 2015 and all 5 and higher magnitude earthquakes that occurred since the start of 1973.

     It is significant that the 17th highest probability location in the table is relatively close to the location where the April 25 earthquake occurred.

        The table below shows matches between the high intensity EM 6 signal detected on February 9, 2015 and more than 700 past earthquakes that produced at least one fatality since the start of 1973.

     What is significant with this table is that the 19th highest probability location in the table for the destructive September 18, 2011 earthquake is relatively close to the location where the tremendously destructive April 25, 2015 earthquake occurred.
