    A foreshock, maybe it could be circumcentred.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    I can almost picture it now………..

    I was watching TV when suddenly everything in my house began to shake. The chandelier tried to touch the ceiling. I tell you I was scared. I was shaking like an old man with an advanced case of Parkinson’s disease.

    Someone rang my door bell. I looked through the peep hole and there was my neighbor, a woman, who I have had a clash with before. She was completely naked, apparently she panicked and ran out of her house without thinking.
    She asked me for a towel to cover herself with while she figures out how to get back into her now locked front door. I slammed the door in her face and said fend for yourself bitch.

    Yes we are. It's really powerful when something like that happens. Sort of knocks the wind out of me emotionally.

    people are homeless because there are no free places where they're allowed to build their own hovels as they see fit.
    enturpreneering isn't some magic wand. its not the little green pieces of paper that are unhappy,
    and its trying to make everything have to be about money that creates squallor in the furst place.

    crackheads are a symptom. you combine a culture that tells people imagination is childish and immature with trying to make everything have to be about money,
    and the simple minded turn to mind altering substances as the only escape they know how to find.

    I checked the possibility of a Tsunami in my area after the recent quakes. Apparently it is possible in this area but I'm far enough inland where it wouldn't reach me.

    Among other findings, geologists have discovered that earthquakes travel around the world, moving as waves through the semi-liquid layers of rock beneath the crust. California and Indonesia are both part of the infamous "Ring of Fire" composed of roughly a third of the planet, and the Japanese had a recent large earthquake as well, but shrugged it off thanks to their being the most earthquake prone place on earth.

    The Ring of Fire is not only earthquake prone, but responsible for 90% of all the worst earthquakes. Chile hold's the record, 10.0, because the meters do go higher. Its a few magnitudes more difficult to measure than the power of a lightning strike.

    Absolutely East Coast a la Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, just thought I’d infuse a little humor into a bad situation
