Hey guys, I notice both posters so far are new.

The OPs presented some breaking news, awesome, great to be on top of things.

The pair of you should be on top of your manners too.

Wealth can be relative.

there have been quakes in japan, Afghanistan, pakistan, in the us to. i think there are a lot of poor countries in earthquake zones as a few wealthy ones. we are seeing a unusually high amount of eq activity globally in a short span of time, i am confused if it is just that the global media is reporting every incident therefore making it look like there is more activity or if there is actually more compared to reports in previous years. we need to compare the amount of eq activity last year and this year.

and please, lets keep ats a nice place for discussion

Well , sorry for sounding like a dick but before you make a comment try to think because maybe you are the one sounding rude and are offending peoples nationalities...end of discussion for me.
