5.7 prelim afganistan for sure.I just thought of something. They downgraded all earthquakes 1.0 That's one full point in 2006. That means by the old standard chile's recent was 9.8.

Sorry there was a quake, glad your okay, but you didn't have to post this. Like others, I understand the earthquake paranoia, but quakes happen in many places every day.. Tectonic plates move, research them please.

I've never seen so many earthquakes pop up all over the place. We're going to have to keep our eyes peeled on the USGS website and ATS. I wonder who's next?

I'm going to guess the State of Washington is next. She's due. Maybe 4+ Magnitude. This is all a chance guess.

I guess there is no coincidence that the world is extremely on edge right now due to earthquakes in Haiti and now Chile. Planet Earth is angry.......and she has every right to be. In fact I hope a HUGE MIND BLOWING 10 rocks Afghanistan............so all you idiot (US military and Taliban) human beings fighting each other might be able to step back and realize we are all here on earth for the same damn reason and that reason is bigger than oil......allah......democracy.......and any other lame pathetic excuse for war. Mother nature.............BRING IT BABY! The human race needs a good whippin right now!

Who said he was fighting? He could be there for business or many other reason. Quit the assumptions.


Where did the other person here that everything is downgraded a full point?

WOW, Dude maybe if you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all. I’m not even going to lower myself to your level. reply to post by Zosynspiracy

Thanks for the Flag. Leaving one thing I know filling a earth quake shake you out of bed, makes even a 5.0 fill big, but I guess it is easy to say it is not big when you’re on the other side of the world and did not fill it.

How about Antarctica.

You know, wishing for thousands of human deaths seems like the antithesis of peace - at least to me. You sure it's PEACE that you're after?
