Did the supermoon do it? Scientists debate if lunar phenomen

Japan's giant tsunami has revived one of amateur meteorologists' favorite theories: the effects of the supermoon.

The supermoon is a phenomenon that takes place when the moon is closest to the Earth, astrologer Richard Nolle said.

It's set to occur on March 19 - and also happened in 2005, when another giant tsunami hit, Nolle said.

Next week, the moon will be just 221,566 miles from earth. The event - formally known as a lunar perigee - happens when a new or full moon comes within 90% of the closest approach possible.

How much the supermoon can change that is up for debate.

On his blog on accuweather.com, meteorologist Mark Paquette said there is something to Nolle's theory.

"There were SuperMoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005," Paquette wrote. "These years had their share of extreme weather and other natural events. Is the Super Moon and these natural occurrences a coincidence? Some would say yes; some would say no. I'm not here to pick sides and say I'm a believer or non-believer in subjects like this, but as a scientist I know enough to ask questions and try to find answers."

There's a 'title' or 'explanation' for EVERYTHING today instead of maybe....we're DISOBEDIENT, SINNING, and ETC...

Man is saying: 'We don't need God!'

Well, I think God is trying to get OUR attention by allowing natural disastrous..

Put away your idols,and turn back to God...

I read a few articles on this supermoon. The ones I read said it wouldnt effect us at all. I wonder if the moon will appear larger to us on earth? I am looking forward to it!!! I am jazzed up to see if it will look bigger. I hope I am able to stay awake and see it. They said it might mess up your satelite signals. I hope my Direct Tv doesnt go out!!
