A magnitude 6.6 earthquake has hit the Colombian capital of Bogota, prompting mass evacuations from the city’s buildings. Strong and prolonged tremors sparked panic and a social media storm.

Well, for now, ‘it’ missed the U.S, which let’s 0bama off the hook, and all of us a little safer.
too early in the week for a disaster....wait until Friday
Japan...what. last week? now Central America..
the ring of fire is heating up!
I was 3 miles from the Epicenter of the Northridge Quake.
I honestly thought I was going to die.
If you have never experienced a huge quake — DON’T.
It isn’t even so much the shaking — it is the SOUND! It is like being inside a giant jackhammer.
Prayers for the citizens of Bogota.
Los Angeles is the most prepared place in the world fr Earthquakes. The laws have been changing on building since 1907 — and after the Northridge quake they reinforced every single overpass post in the entire county.
For that part of things, L.A. had it right.
I suspect Bogota is not so well prepared. Concrete turns to killing debris quickly.
Actually, it's pretty quiet around the ring of fire this week.
The following is a link to download the program EARTHQUAKE 3D. See earthquake patterns and activity around the entire globe instantly. Zoom in/out, spin the planet to any point you wish. Change the duration and seismic level to view. Multiple options that are fun to use.
Simply go to the link (scroll down to DOWNLOAD FREE EDITION) , download the program (takes like 10 seconds). Then RUN it.
It doesn't need a browser to run in. It is self contained, simple and easy. AND IT'S FREE.
Thank you.
dear ptsal,
Ok, try this .... for March 20, 2015:
03:38am new moon
5:48pm spring equinox
How’s that?
The info I have says it’s a 6.2.
Earth shivers is one thing..
Outter space Sodom smushers are another thing..
New York City needs to look UP!.. before they look down..
as does... London, Paris, Bejing, Moscow, and quite other places..
Certainly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I spent a half hour playing with it when I first ran it.
It allows you to instantly spot larger earthquakes instantly, and you can see ‘patterns’ of activity that no other program/website does.
You can see more in 2 seconds than you can if you spend an hour on USGS. And this program uses the USGS data so it’s accurate.
Some of my ex-inlaws were one mile away. Their 10 yo son slept through it.
...in the top bunk!
Why does the earth rotate backwards?
I hesitate to download and use it as Ive had Google Earth...actually disappear form my hard drives three separate occasions. Gone not to be found by any means available
Prayers up.
click and drag on it. It will spin in any direction you like.
Hmmm... I've had EQ3D on my PC for years, and never had a problem.
I've had Google Earth and had some problems (crashing) but never 'lost' it.
Each time I downloaded it Google earth it would run for a few days...and then Voila...simply be rendered missing in inaction.
neither the Macs Finder nor any third party apps could find it
I simply gave it up.
