yeah, mother nature`s actions are just unacceptable, the government needs to step in and put mother nature in her place,because this is just taking all the attention away from the snowflake protests. what good is a participation trophy if you can`t even participate because mother nature cancelled the whole whine fest?

That location had a 4.5 magnitude earthquake just 2 days ago.

So much for the theory that earthquakes REDUCE pressure. Looks like the 4.5 caused increased pressure somehow.

A magnitude 8.0 earthquake releases more than 175,000 times the energyof a mag 4.5 quake.

Tsunami Threat

A few aftershocks are rolling in now: Mag 5.7, 5.4, 5.2, from USGS

a tsunami alert with an active hurricane in the area? that`s probably not a good thing is it? I think if I was living on the gulf coast I would be planning a long vacation with relatives in north Dakota about now,and if I had no relatives in north Dakota I would be planning a vacation to a salvation army shelter in north Dakota.

this earthquake happened far away from Irma and in the Pacific...North Dakota sounds like a great plan though!

Reports on Twitter sayin that It was felt in Austin.

This sea level station near Oaxaca seems to be registering some tsunami activity.
