Dow Jones News Reports at 11:39 "DJ Singapore Official: 7.5 Quake Hits Sumatra - Kyodo"
No other reports yet.
Um, no. It was still the day after Easter albeit really late a night.
ABC Radio reporting it's near the same location as the one that triggered the tsunami in December 2004.
A plump girl's giggle is usually pretty cute.
I read about a Gay celebration that was going to happen somewhere in Phuket (sp?).
I wonder when it was happening?
Know anyone in Padang?
A plump girl's giggle is usually makes her wiggle and jiggle.
I'm so glad you did that, and not me..... :-)
Fo shiggle my niggle!
SURFS UP!
Thanks Lainie. That's right there.
Speaking of jiggles, has anyone dragged Fat Teddy out of his noontime watering hole to find a microphone and rant about President Bush's "stingy" response yet?
I clicked on it because it was a non-Terri thread. :)
It was only THEN that I found out it was earthquake-related.
"Epicenter just shows the beginning of rupture."
How long you think it'll take for some to change that to "rapture"....
I wonder when it was happening?
Why, do you want to draw some kind of parallel? Thailand has a big gay population, its not a problem over there, they just leave them alone.
BTW, I'm sure there is some kind of gay celebration that goes on where you live. Maybe you should buy a raft....
"Can I be the first wackjob to say this is G-d's revenge for Terri?"
Well done, you are not only the first whackjob, but possibly the most whack of them all.
I don't believe the solstice/equinox events would have much to do with pressure on the plates because those events are related to how far north or south of the equator the sun appears directly overhead at noon and are not involved in the magnitude of the tidal forces.
I could easily believe that a full moon or a new moon could have an effect on earthquake activity because in both cases, the sun/earth/moon system is lined up in a straight-ish line causing the tidal forces on the earth to be maximized in relation to that lineup. Additionally, I note that the quake happened within an hour of midnight at that site which is also interesting.
As I recall, though, seismologists have always maintained that there is no discernable correlation between moon phases and earthquake activity - which is surprising to me.

the quake was shallow and did not occur in deep water, which may mean less of a deadly tsunami risk.
My fazavorite!
