And to the question about how many they have normally I do not know. And for the fact you did not see the pattern shows me you do not understand seismology, not being rude just stating a fact.
If you don't know how many they normally have in a month, how can you say there's a pattern? If they average 40-50 earthquakes a month, then that would be normal. You'd have to look at the months before and see if that was an unusual number to see if there's a pattern.
