RockyRaab: Yikes - that is a big one! Hopefully injuries/casualties will be at a minimum. Seems to me a lot of earthquakes have been occurring around the world in the last couple years! I have only been around for 72 years but again it seems to me that they are more prolific of recent? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

It is one of my long-standing theories that the stronger tidal pull that happens during the full and new moons can act as the trigger for a fault that's near the breaking point. There seems to be a definite trend that leads to that idea. This one is yet another point of verification.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Jaguartx: Yikes on that list! It is rather scary perusing it! I guess I could pose this question (are there more quakes now than there used to be?) to VarmintSon #2 - he is a specialist for the U.S.G.S. and installs seismometers and tsunami detectors from the south end of kalifornicationkopia to the Canadian border and mostly along the west coast in that area. Not much one can do in this regard - but it would be nice to know if the earths crust is cracking at a higher rate these days than in the past. Again I hope the Jamaican people are not heavily harmed - I have been there and it is a beautiful country but frankly I did NOT like many of the people I came across there ,while touring, and never intend to go back (I did especially like Ocho Rios and our trip down that river and playing in the falls!).

Rocky,
do you know did it occur during high tide there or low tide?
Less, or even more, water over the area might be a contributing factor? Awful lot of weight in cubic hectares of H2O.

Jaguartx: I will. Also, I despise kalifornicationkopia and kalifornicationkopians to the extreme but I do not wish to see them all drown't in the Pacific - the United States of America would more than likely be better off should that happen but to much human carnage would be involved.. But I take it you are being humorous. I'll get back to you on the frequency thing. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
In the 18th century Port au Prince Haiti was virtually destroyed by an estimated 8.0 earthquake!

There you go with that history stuff again.
PM on the way to you.

PS, you're over your limit, and I think I know why. I'll catch up with you at a later date.

Hmm? I’ll check on that PM stuff.
As for Haiti. Archaeololically speaking there was some awesome stuff recovered there. I was acquainted with one archaeologists. 7.7 is a biggie!!!
