So many of our Obama Voting Public is too stupid to realize the Richter Scale is logarithmic, not liner.
They hear 7.0 and then 7.8 and think, "well, it's only wafer thin".
Thanks for the post. This could be really big news.
bttt and prayers, this could be bad.
Doubtful it’s a big deal - the population exposed to serious shaking is quite small and the nature of the fault is such that motion is mostly strike-slip rather than subduction.
I’m looking at the chart you so thoughtfully posted, and I don’t understand how there can be an earthquake of negative magnitude.
