Are there reports of damage or injuries in your area, Jay? Hope your roof/ceiling is sound after the quake and any after shocks.

Good. It's a bit chilly here tonight. Today I'm trying to stay warm and figure out how Montezuma was able to exact revenge. Food or virus - not fun.

It's puzzling to me why people seem to have such an immense desire to turn routine earthquakes into nuclear testing.

Everything fine. Just me and the Wife up here...She went early shopping in Taegu. Local news not reporting any problems.

Good, thanks for the update!

Irrelevant, as nuke blasts have entirely different
seismic signatures, and would either not be reported
at all by USGS, or would be reported as anomolous events.

This question apparently arose because tsunamis can be
caused by nuclear explosions.

Dang, I'm heading to Southern Japan in about 7 hours. Hopefully that was the last of them for awhile.

Those are great pictures, M.E. The 6.4 quake did a lot of damage.

I also expect the toll to go higher, but I hope it doesn't.
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
Right, I am not hoping for a higher death toll either. Didn't mean to sound morbid.
