Whoa. That’s what we get for laughing at the earthquake predicting thread from this morning. They were two days early.

Could be a LOT of trouble.

How far away from the First Child? That’s not good.

Apparently it happened in a really remote region, and hopefully the deaths and injuries will be minimal to none.
To: winoneforthegipper
Felt as far away as Mexico City, apparently.
Expect news media to go wall-to-wall with “is Malia Obama safe!?!?!?!” stories in 3...2...1...

Whoa. That’s what we get for laughing at the earthquake predicting thread from this morning. They were two days early. 7.9 is a strong earthquake, but it is not catastrophic. Sometimes predictions get lucky through sheer timing against events that come to pass.

Lots of lizards would have been shaken up. Thanks for the thread, I hadn’t heard of this. Will switch to Above Top Secret, which gets onto these things pretty quickly.

It’s the initial number . It could go either way.
Way too close the the First Daughter though. I hope they can get out if needed.
