I thought it was ironic Africa was the only continent to be livable. And if people there were pretty much unaffected by the celestial cross (cosmic alignment), then wouldn't they pretty much have a negative view of those who arrived on the ships?
Personally, I liked the movie 'Knowing'. Now THAT scared the bejesus outta me. When they revealed what EE stood for, I got chills down my spine.

The Aftershock Signature of Supershear Earthquakes
Michel Bouchon1* and Hayrullah Karabulut2
Recent studies show that earthquake faults may rupture at speeds exceeding the shear wave velocity of rocks. This supershear rupture produces in the ground a seismic shock wave similar to the sonic boom produced by a supersonic airplane. This shock wave may increase the destruction caused by the earthquake. We report that supershear earthquakes are characterized by a specific pattern of aftershocks: The fault plane itself is remarkably quiet whereas aftershocks cluster off the fault, on secondary structures that are activated by the supershear rupture. The post-earthquake quiescence of the fault shows that friction is relatively uniform over supershear segments, whereas the activation of off-fault structures is explained by the shock wave radiation, which produces high stresses over a wide zone surrounding the fault.

Dan Tana’s is pretty cool. I love my neighborhood, but yes, it’s very gay. It’s a good place to be a woman alone if you just don’t want to be bothered, so I move about quietly and am happy. But yes... every gay pride parade passes within about 150 steps of my front door.

that is as probably non-technical as it can be presented. The ‘shock wave’ are the seismic waves passing through the earth. If the fault ruptures faster than wave promulgation is what is being spoken about.

Only in Southern California would be the first earthquake video coverage be multiple shots of swiming pools overflowing.

We can depend on FNC for those important announcements!
Any news out of, oh I dunno, Mexico?? Where the quake actually hit??

Revised to 7.2 !
Dammit. I missed it and still no call from my kids.
I guess they missed it, too.

We have three Dachshunds who go by aliases (and answer to them, too): Pigg, Short Legs, and Scrat. Pigg is the one who won't budge unless food is involved. And Scrat is a mini who looks and acts
exactly like 'Scrat' from Ice Age, hence the nickname. We've been on the lookout for a stuffed acorn chew toy for two years, just so we can get a good pic of her doing what she does best. LOL
