Just followed by a 7.5 mag.
I think Japan was shook up earlier today.
What’s the deal with all the earth quakes. Or are they all the same fault line?
That’s big and given the quality of infrastructure in that area, there could be significant loss of life. Prayers incoming.

Shallow one two. Anything from the tsunami center?
Global warming and Bush’s fault.
:)
Yes it did, I just posted asking what the deal is. There is no way that is the same fault line.
Either that or Hillary sat down.
Yow. That’s a big one. I pray God is busy working many miracles down there.
I was in Lima back in the mid-90’s. This could be really ugly, if the center was really just 100 miles away. Prayers up!

Ping!
Dang, there’s 3 on the map now. The third is another 7.5. Is this usual for this map application or is there some serious shaking going on down there?

I read a bit from Mr. Japan on FR about one that hit Japan, but it was just a little one, a 4.5 or something like that. Not much. A 7.5 on the other hand ... yipes. That’s awful big.
