You have a point!
Are you okay? ;-)
I've predicted it for years!
Everything East of the Rocky Mountains will one day slide into the Atlantic Ocean during one of these really big quakes!
"Landslides are more entertaining...."
"COOL!!! Another one!!"
I am glad to see you find so much entertainment from natural disasters... can we at least wait for the dust to clear before we start getting all giddy. Many people may be horribly affected and you guys are as giddy as schoolgirls.
6.5, 6.4... I was pretty close. But then again, the last one they downgraded too far and it went back up, so who knows, I might just get it right yet.
We get tornados here too, although nothing like your tornados.

That map is awesome.
Would you share the address? I'd appreciate it.
Hey, they knew they were building their $1,000,000 homes on top of a fault line.
CalTech Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones today said that there existed a slight possibility of a connection between the Chilean quake, the Aleutian Islands quake and the one off the coast of Northern California. I am guessing that this most recent quake is related to the earlier one.
Appears to be s of Eureka about 40 or so miles.
And therefore their kids deserve to die beneath the rubble of that $1,000,000! Justice!
Did you feel this one bd?
Good to know. Thank you for posting this.
It's almost on top of the other one. Could be an aftershock.
Thanks.
Does that go the same for those that live in tornado, hurricane country, and along rivers?
Yep. Parents fault..
