Lets hope that the Area took it better then before...

But since this one is like a 1000 times weaker... Nothing big probaly happen...


Hopefully...

indeed this turned out to be a non news event. I would of figured the an earthquake that was just under a 6 (by two decimals) would of caused more upraor in a region that had a 7 not two whole months ago..


I mean they are in recovery mode and WHAP a second slap..

God must be mad at them.??
