I also heard a person from the USGS on the news that earthquakes over 7.0 happen every month...

Should have looked before I asked. Thanks. I would be interested in seeing a longer time base though. I wonder how far back accurate statistics are available.

The numbers of quakes are not that much greater, but look at the graph farther down the USGS page!

The much more important number, total deaths! This year is remarkable for a 300% increase in quake mortality. Already, 2010 is only surpassed by 4,000 deaths occuring during the whole of 2004. With 2/3rds of this year yet to be counted, woe to those who are living outside of God's good grace's. Woe!

Woe, to the follower's of the false 'profit mohammed', his false messiah 'Barry' and their phony moon god; allah.
