Powerful Quake Strikes Peru

According to a News website from Lima, in Spanish, i can tell you they say there are at least 550 dead and thousands hurt.
They are also afraid of an epidemic breaking out.

I tried to post the link so you could see some pictures, but for some reason i'm not able to

here in Belgium they spoke of 1 earthquake and 9 aftershocks
just to let you now. Cause who is telling the truth now?
Since our belgium press gets their info off cnn, and I have the biggest doubts about the honesty off cnn, ... (you do the math about what i'm thinking)

I've heard about these in other quakes, here's a bit of info on the lights.

Earthquake Lights
Earthquake Lights

The lights are most evident in the middle of an earthquake, although there are reports of lights that occurred after or even before the earthquake, as in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake. They usually have shapes similar to those of the auroras and are white to bluish in hue, but occasionally they have been reported to have a wider color spectrum. The luminosity is typically visible for several seconds, but there have been cases in which they lasted tens of minutes.

Another video showing lights in Peru during the earhtquake (from 00:45 on)

In another video, ufologists relates the ufos with the earthquackes. They are saying that the big fleet that appeared in May were there to prevent a worse disaster.

Earthquakes happen, thats life , aliens dont prevent them or warn about them , if they do theyre making a pretty bad job of it.

the "whole lights in the sky" issue after-during-before and earthquake is kinda an old tale on which kids are being told by their parents, the last big quake that I´ve felt was santiago 1985 and I was too young to remember it, we had some big ones on the capital above 6, but nothing too destructive


I didn´t felt the quake, some ppl on regions at the north near peru did, some say that they felt a little motion here, I didn´t

I just want to note that even though the cellular phones went down, the radio phones went down, the landline phones went down and in some areas the power went out.

BUT threw all of technological ways to communicated VONAGE STILL WORKED!!!!!!!!!! hahaha. sorry i work for the company.
WOO HOO WOO HOO lmao

LOL I got vonage. I probabably live in one of the safeste areas in the country, and my cable is always out.

Anybody take note of the recent seismic activity that happened in several areas worldwide hours apart? i think they said peru got hit,brazil,japan,indonesia and in california, all of them allegedly 6.0 and higher....If I remember correctly japan got hit with a 7.0'r and like I said, ALL of these quakes happen in the same day. Maybe this is the wrong forum for this particular thread but doesnt that seem far beyond the normal? AND if anyone knows the specific thread this info is dedicated to I'd appreciate the redirection. My first estimation was a generally significant fluctuation or ripple effect amongst the plates....like one moved just so much to transfer momentum or something to a corresponding plate with enough force to repeat the event enough times to make it all the way around the globe....seems far fetched,I know but the other and less likely situation I thought up was a massive test of H.A.A.R.P. capabilities....thanks for any input in advance.
