Waiting for more info
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
It’s because of global warming and voodoo.
You’ve seen those too? I guess one man’s hellhole is another man’s paradise!
The Richter scale is logarithmic. That means that a 7.0 quake is 10 times more powerful than a 6.0 quake and 100 times more powerful than a 5.0 quake.
Karl Rove got the earthquake machine working overtime.
I thought he was supposed to turn that thing in during
the transition?
Whole lotta shakin’ going on around the world. Atlantic and Pacific zones.

Did you feel it? Report shaking and damage at your location. You can also view a map displaying accumulated data from your report and others.
And look what God did to the prophet that did not want to speak. Jonah...
~240 miles ENE of Caracas near town of Sucre.
Yes, I spent about 9 days in Caracus on a mission in Feb of 2008. Terrible living conditions for many people (comparitively speaking). Nice locals (at least the church members we worked with).
PJ, is your wife down in Venezuela right now? Is she alright?
This software gives you an instantaneous 3D view of Earthquakes globally.
It is awesome!!!
Just download, unzip, and run it.

Then thats REALLY bad in Haiti.
whoa
Maybe Chavez will get his rolling blackouts after all! Who knew tectonic plates were socialists? (ME!)
If you use Google Earth, they have a neat little thing selectable in the sidebar under the Layers tab.
Click the checkbox for Gallery and then four items down is another checkbox for Earthquakes. It is stunning to see all of the quakes that have hit there in the past week. To see the details, click on each orange ball in the Haiti area.
Whoops, sorry, I meant to thank you for this topic and not ping ya. [blush]
What we need is a “government-control-adjusted” Richter scale. Take what the Richter scale number is. Add one for a welfare state. Add two for a socialist state.
The result will likely give an approximation of the actual death and destruction due to the earthquake. A 5.7 earthquake in Venezuela will likely do as much damage as a 7.7 earthquake here.
IIRC, An increase in magnitude value (Richter value) of 1.0 is equal to an increase in Energy(Damage) of time 10.
