IBBFP!
Oh, oh...
I misspelled "Papua New Guinea" in the headline. Thanks in advance if you can fix it.
Darwin, Australia could get hit by a tsunami. The city has already been destroyed twice, by the Japanese in WWII and by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Day 1974.
Godzilla????

Bizarre. My parents were in Maui for the 6.5 ish one (and the rest) yesterday. My aunt and uncle live on Papua. Crazy odds of two sets of family members in two different places with earthquakes of nearly the same magnititude in two back to back days. Hopefully we don't get a third set...(though with many of us living in SoCal you'd think we'd have been more apt to have had one! LOL) Maybe it's just our island located family! ;-)
Cthulhu is rising!
DOOM!
