Earthquakes

Always.

 

I know probably most of you hear about this everyday on the news, here's the lastest info about the results of Haiti's Catastrophe and the one on Chile of course.

Haiti:
An estimated three million people were affected by the Haiti quake; the Haitian Government reports that between 217,000 and 230,000 people had been identified as dead, an estimated 300,000 injured, and an estimated 1,000,000 homeless. The death toll is expected to rise. They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged.

Chile:
At least 723 deaths. Missing, injured, homeless.. STILL COUNTING.

Im just scared one day I'll wake up to something like this. I hope this was the last one.

 

If the earthquake was directly under Santiago instead of 200 miles south
the bodies would be stacked up like cordwood

I just had my first 'real' earthquake of 6.9 a couple months ago and it totally freaked me out. Only a couple houses fell down though so it wasn't that big of a deal. But I am not looking forward to 'the big one' when it inevitably happens.

 

i was just in santiago!!

disasters seem to follow me where ever i go. a massacre here, an avalanche there, now an earthquake.

 

upward of 600 earthquakes here in the last three years, from just measurable (with the instruments here, .8) to 3.7

we're due for a big quake (they happen here every ~600 years, as per geological record, we're at 620)

 

Well why don't you come shack up with me? Things aint getting any worse on my end so you wont have to worry about causing cataclysmic events of destruction. Well... not exactly destruction, but it'll be cataclysmic enough.

 

I was in science class, when the radiator shook and I said its and earthquake ..
23 April 1984 01:36:00 Martic earthquake and the Lancaster seismic zone in eastern Pennsylvania..

 

Are you in Oregon? Cause I know they are due for a really big one, which worries me.

 

nevada.

no one cares about nevada, so it's not a popular 600 year quake.

 

I have a bad, bad feeling about this upcoming hurricane season

 

No one cares about Oregon either... but they care about Nevada even less. Personally, I like Nevada though.

 

the thing about nevada and places like it, is if no one is living where an earthquake happens when it does, no one gets hurt by it. the only reason anyone gets killed or injured by them, i mean no one would otherwise, is because so many cities are build and people living right on top of the fault lines where they happen.

like flooding, its one of those perfectly natural events that wouldn't hurt anyone if people didn't, mostly by being coerced into, park themselves right smack dab in the path of.
