There goes a national monument.

It's man-made.

In the northeast we also have subsurface earthquakes from settling: sheet boulders overlap and suddenly slip off the edge of another.

You know, you would think that the country would think about the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket". There are so many monuments up there around only the DC area alone. The white house, the pentagon, the washington monument, and more. Any more qaukes and they could all be gone. Tongue

Are you serious? Embarrassed

I have and still am living through the 3 Christchurch earthquakes, those photos linked there are by no means devastation. And I know from personal experience Cry

Devastation is when your entire city is shut for 6 months and counting, when 180 people lost their lives, 6,000 homes have to be demolished, with still more coming, half the city was surrounded in crap, when you don't bother getting off the couch for anything under a 5.3, when you can accurately guess the magnitude of the aftershocks by the noise they make before they hit, when I've spent as much time over the last year shoveling sand mixed with other peoples poo than I have doing all of my hobbies put together, and after all this, even the people of Christchurch, a city of only 300,000, still don't believe they've been devastated. Cool

No, he was not being serious, just the opposite. It is very obvious from the photos that it is sarcastic humor. Earthquakes like the ones in Christchurch are not funny at all and we all feel for the victims.

But the quake today was minor and whoever posted those pictures was making light of the situation. ApplePie was just sharing it with us.

Patchz is correct. By no means was I being serious...I was making fun of some people who were severely overreacting to the quake. Yesterday's earthquake can't even be compared to some of the ones you've experienced in NZ. But you have to admit...there must be billions of dollars lost due to the workforce having to spend extra time straightening picture frames in their houses. Cheesy

Just admit it, if a tropical depression-sized storm hit California tomorrow, y'all would freak out just as much as we did during the quake, if not more. Tongue

What's even worse is that rift valley is on a fault line. And a bad one. We are lucky but luck runs out Shocked

. And our government Does not bother prepare just to be safe Sad

Edit: The rift valley ]

IS

a fault line. Growing wider and wider and an earthquake of that magnitude would send the Indian ocean through it Sad

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
