BREAKING. 10.0+ Earthquake in American Samoa - 6PM There

Posted on 05/20/2011 9:17:12 PM PDT by mnehring

USGS is reporting a 10.0+ earthquake, the largest ever reported in the islands of and around American Samoa. It seems to be splitting the fault and creating rift, moving Eastward. It is predicted it will go around the world.

Just kidding- can we officially call Camping a fraud now?

Thanks for the advice I’ll remember that next time the Texas Gulf Coast has an earthquake. When California has a hurricane you remember to “hunker down” ya hear?

Very ingenious! I’ve had a great time looking at variations on this principle. The penny stove looks interesting.

I’m not a fan of Heineken, but if it works a little better I’ll buy my bother a 6 pack and let him empty the cans for me.
