That made me laugh.

People get excited because they now have access to this instant information I suppose.

Doesn't it have to be an 8+ to be worthy.

These days unless it causes death and destruction , it isn't really an earthquake is it. More like a rumble and a bit of a wobble.

reply to post by guessing


I agree. I'm waiting for the big one. And I have a feeling it's not waiting for me, to leave california that is! I know it's going to strike in Cali.

OMG!!1ONE!1 Earthquake! Those happen SO rarely in this World! Guys, this is it. An event that will completely destroy the World as we know it. EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT!

Nice thread, Its just to bad that the children had to come play in your room isn't it.

You people need to learn the meaning of respect and pull those sticks out of your a**es.

As far as posting in that other thread, its pretty much pointless. Also, when mentioning earthquakes keep it at a minimum of 7.5 or you'll attract the attention of the circus as has been demonstrated here.

OP I owe you an apology. Instead of being a smart ass I should have just kept my mouth shut. I suppose my first post was a knee jerk reaction to seeing so many earthquake threads get blown out of proportion. Thank you for sharing this with us.
