Breaking?
Another one just now?
I think earth is finally coming apart. Any day now we will split into two hemispheres and enter into different orbits around the sun.
Prayers.
Bush’s fault
Reported in Australian media about two hours ago - I only just saw the reports, but they are time stamped at 12.20 Australian Eastern Standard Time and it is now about 14.40.
Now about 14.20, I mean.
Just Damn - not good.

When you live on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” luck has nothing to do with it. It’s when and how big!
Just a matter of time in the SF Bay area. We had a 5.6 last year (early 2008- the strongest since Loma Prieta) and the Hayward fault in the east bay is at about the average time between large quakes (there’s creep all the time).
I have a job inspecting a 1963 built apartment building about 300 feet from it Tuesday and hope it doesn’t hit while I’m there!
A prayer up for you :-)
Good grief, the demon/angels buried from the Book of Enoch are restless. They know Obama is here.
/sarc sort of.
4’s may scare you. 5’s may do some damage (the 5.6 we had in the Bay area last year only knocked stuff off teh top sheves near te epicenter), but 6 and above start to do some substantial damage.
A 5 will have you hiding under your table.
That whole area is rocking and rolling.
