(CNN) -- A 7.0-magnitude quake struck southern Peru on Sunday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

I always wondered how the extreme earthquake hazard and some of the most expensive real estate on the west coast went together...
EARTHQUAKE WARNING. MASSIVE SOLAR FLARE AND CME.

Might be. (I wonder if the big guy is still hangin’ out with those 2 miniature sidewinder chicks.....)
California is losing ground water because of drought. Plates are moving around. /sarc
Every place has it's good and bad features. Right now, the main bad feature is the governance by liberal idiots. That being said, earthquakes are the least of one's worries. Most are mild and cause little or no damage. The big ones are rare and might not affect one at all in their lifetime. One of my daughter's in-laws built their house on a rise in Kansas, they got the land cheaply because a tornado wiped out the previous home - twice. Why would one want to live in a place like that? My daughter's home in Texas had over 100 degree weather every day for much of the summer last year. Why would one want to live like that?
Anyway, two things SF has going for it are jobs and weather. Weather is mild, you can travel a short bit and find high temps or snow; meanwhile you work in mild 70 degree temps. Everything you need is nearby without having to drive a hundred miles. Very little crime, few poor ghettos. Now if only we could expel the liberal invaders who took over running the politics (SF was a former republican city for most of the 20th century).
Earth is awake
Someone woke up Gaia, and boy, is she angry!?!
There will be . . . earthquakes . . . in diverse places . . .
Today/tonight is the time of a new moon when the gravitational forces of the moon plus the sun are strongest on the crust of the earth. Thus there is an increased probability of earthquakes during these periods.
and it “burns”.”burns “burns”..that Ring Of FIre.
Im going to have to read more on the Peruvian Quake
with movements of that magnitude on both sides of l.a. Id suspect that there’d be SOME significant movement of the plates in that area shortly.
Id forgotten the reports of the chili quake after going through the one here in Northern CA. Thanks.
time to be prepared
Aliens would be a lot more likely than fracking or global warming as a cause.
Kinda like Route 66?
The Pacific Rim is waking up.
Better have water supplies; a go-bag; food that doesn’t need refrigeration.
Time to be prepared. Remember, we had a 7.1 which was centered 100 miles East of us, and still it affected us a lot.
Last week was a quiet solar week, then starting Thursday there was a rhythmic string of solar flares, all about the same magnitude. Sunday morning there was a very large solar flare, just a few hours before the Peru quake. Remember there is also a volcano brewing & stewing in Iceland.
Graphs here, subtract 5 hours for East Coast US time:

The Nazca lines are pretty neat.
What the Frack are they doing in Peru? /sar
