Two bigg'uns at the Polo Norte, huh. Is this a freak occurrence or not that uncommon?

Thanks Ernest! That's an area that doesn't get many quakes.

This large of a quake doesn't appear to be very common for the area.

Oh how I hope that that isn't possible, LOL.

George Noury had a caller the other night who wondered if HAARP caused her to hear high pitched tones all the time. He responded that it might be her hearing, or maybe it was HAARP.

This graphic may have a more startling appearance, but it's just a graph map of current earthquakes from IRIS:

I like to be added to the ping list, if you have one.

I was going over the 30-day-out earthquakes and want to draw your attention to February 16th. There was a 6.6 in the mid-atlantic ridge with a possible p-wave, and a smaller 5.5 in the northern mid-atlantic ridge.

Old fault lines never die, just the people that forget they are present.

Looks like BD476 might have a ping list of sorts, and I would ask to be on it as well..

I suspect that 7.0 earthquake in NNY was Hillary falling down on her fat head again.
