Dam that is three big ones in the last couple hours.
An aftershock? How many years apart can an earthquake be considered an aftershock?
Wow, is that true/possible?
I count 2. 6.6 in Japan and 7.7 off India. What was the third?
It's the globe collapsing in on itself under the weight of Obama's enormous budget deficit.
..or ego. :->
Naw, I think it has more to do with the dude that posted the giant pic of Helen Thomas awhile ago on another thread.
A 7.6 magnitude earthquake is strong enough to ruin anyone’s day.
At 5:00 AM this morning, I woke up with a start. I had a dream I was visiting Rome, Italy. I was having a good time visiting historical landmarks and eating Italian pastry when suddenly, a catastrophic earthquake hit Rome. I watched all the buildings collapse....the city was flattened. I was on my cellphone, trying to call the outside world; I was asking for rescue teams with dogs to come to Rome to search for people trapped in destroyed buildings. Then I woke up! Weird.
That darn Karl Rove, at it again. Fooling around with the Earth.

Yeah, we all know how much he hated those Democrats in New Orleans, but no one suspected he hated the Japanese and all those others, too. One evil dude, huh?
USGS seismologist says earthquake in the Indian Ocean appears to be an aftershock to the 2004 earthquake:

Strong earthquake shakes Tokyo area
(AP) – 17 minutes ago
TOKYO — The Japan Meteorological Agency says a strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 has shaken Tokyo and surrounding areas. No casualties were immediately reported.
The agency issued a tsunami warning from the temblor early Tuesday, which centered off the Suruga Bay, southwest of Tokyo.
The quake rattled furniture and walls in Tokyo but there have been no immediate reports of damages or casualties.
The quake occurred at a depth of 12 miles (20 kilometers). Public broadcaster NHK said a small increase of waves of some 10 inches (30 centimeters) was observed along the coastline of Yaizu City.
Local trains were temporarily halted for safety checks.
See tsunami warning post #10.
thanks. Yah but that’s just BNO on Twitter. I can’t find an actual bulletin from a gov’t agency.
