"What were these people thinking of ???"

Payback?

I'm just a griller, and "No" I failed to have any good orange fiber, though we did have our juice this morning.

There are a ton of tiny oranges in all the stores - did Valencia have a bumper crop this year?

What is up with all those baseball sized oranges?

"Its supposed to get up to 36° today."

I'm not sure what it got to today, but I know it was at least 54. I saw that on a time and temperature thingy.

logarithm...that's when it was revealed to me that math would not be my future means of earning a meaningful living.

Asian Tsunami Kills 12,300, Many More Homeless

Excuse me I am not with it tonight I am busy running to the thron!

[sweetliberty]

Have y'all seen this?

.

"So, don't they say that when there's a big earthquake there's usually one on the opposite side of the globe? Because the closest big fault opposite this one seems to be the New Madrid..."

[lodwick]

Oh no.

Be well soon, Resty.

[lodwick]

Whoa!

Total news to me on this concept - but it makes some sense.

Stay as safe as you can up there, Libby.

[prairiebreeze]

I've seen that posted elsewhere. In accepting the things I cannot change I won't spend any time worrying about it though :^)

[Mo1]

Payback?

I would understand if I bought her kid those kind of toys

But I didn't ... I always bought ones they could actually use

[Mo1]

Oh my goodness....you mean there were that many deaths from the quake itself? I was thinking it was because of the tsunamis.

No, I was talking about what freepers were discussing

When I went to bed, it was shortly after the news of the quake was posted and freepers were talking about a possible tsunamis could follow from a quake of that size

I don't know if or how many die because of the quake itself

[Mo1]

That is so tragic. Any updates? I've been gone all day

I haven't listen/read any news since before dinner and the count at that time was 12,000

[Mo1]

The house is too quiet now. I'm trying not to cry.

Oh Libby .. {{HUGS}}

I could always send my kiddies over your way :0)

New Madrid Earthquakes: 1811-1812

In the winter of 1811-12, the central Mississippi Valley was struck by three of the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history. Even today, this region has more earthquakes than any other part of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Government agencies, universities, and private organizations are working to increase awareness of the earthquake threat and to reduce loss of life and property in future shocks.

The 400 terrified residents in the town of New Madrid (Missouri) were abruptly awakened by violent shaking and a tremendous roar. It was December 16, 1811, and a powerful earthquake had just struck. This was the first of three magnitude-8 earthquakes and thousands of aftershocks to rock the region that winter.

Severe shaking accompanied the powerful New Madrid earthquakes that struck during the winter of 1811-1812. By winter's end, few houses within 250 miles of the Mississippi River town of New Madrid (Missouri) remained undamaged.

Survivors reported that the earthquakes caused cracks to open in the earth's surface, the ground to roll in visible waves, and large areas of land to sink or rise. The crew of the New Orleans (the first steamboat on the Mississippi, which was on her maiden voyage) reported mooring to an island only to awake in the morning and find that the island had disappeared below the waters of the Mississippi River. Damage was reported as far away as Charleston, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C.
