Breaking Earthquake just hit Afghanistan

Salt Lake City will experience the massive earthquake that has been predicted for it soon. This is my belief.

Bravo for standing up to that.

It's not his business what the OP chooses to post or not post.

What is he, the self-appointed thread police?

OP: With everything that has gone on with earthquakes lately, who wouldn't be a little freaked out. The slightest rumble at this point would be unnerving to anybody.

I hope that was the last of it, and you guys are safe. Keep us posted on what's going on!

Thanks, LIW.

"self appointed thread police"

Exactly, the OP is fighting in a war and then he suddenly wakes up in an earthquake; so that's waking up in a war zone AND in an earthquake. That's prime ATS material IMHO!
It's great that he's safe and cool that he wanted to share it, especially now " with everything that has gone on with earthquakes recently" like you said.

You sure they didn't downgrade all historic events as well, which makes Chiles 8.8 comparable ?

We've been asking for it for a while. Now the universal energies are about to show all of us who is really leading the band. It isn't us. That you can be rest assured of.

Countries that have had a magintude 5.0+ quake in the past 48 hours now include French Guyana, Argentina, Chile, Japan and Afghanistan, with a 4.6 in China and 4.9 in Russia. These are spaced out pretty nicely around the world!

[edit on 27-2-2010 by randyvs]

seriously, is this true? just wondering because earlier on CNN today when they were talking about the earthquake in Chile, they mentioned the largest one ever in History was in Chile in 1960 @ 9.5...

Thanks to the extensive records of the United States Geological Service (USGS), it is quite easy to learn about the biggest earthquake ever recorded, which occurred near Santiago, Chile, in 1960. Known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, the quake measured an impressive 9.5 on the Richter scale. The death toll of the Great Chilean Earthquake is not known, but estimates go as high as 6,000, and the earthquake may have caused as much as 800 billion US Dollars in damage.

biggest earthquake in recorded history

meaning the one that happened earlier today was actually the biggest one ever??

It's all the Mormons fault!!!! Sheeeeesh. Salt Lake City, Utah? Really? You may have an accurate prediction there, but I've got forty dollars that says you don't.

Im all over that HINDU KUSH!

Had no quake in my little part of north central Afghanistan, so it must have been more localized. Looking at the history it seems Afghanistan has somewhere two to five 5.5 or higher earthquakes a year, so I’m not yet buying into the movement of 2010 is the year of the earthquake.

There have been (3) earth quakes that shook my building this year in Afghanistan. But I’m up in the mountains so that might be why. Thanks every one for all of your support. To answer some of your questions. I did not see any lights in the sky, but I was in doors when it started. I’m not in the Marines anymore, I’m a security contractor now, doing ISR work over here and yes it was my choice to be here, no one made me come, but I’m glad I’m here still serving my country. I would still be in the Marines but I got hurt and had to get out. Lucky for me I’m on my way home for 2 months of R and R in Iowa. Hopefully all I will have to dill with there is snow and cold. To everyone that is going to bash me for being a security contractor, I save life’s every day. What have you done to help your fellow man lately? To all of the military men and women on here THANK YOU for your service and stay safe.

Can you link to where you got that info?

That is incorrect actually. They changed the scale of measuring earthquakes from Richter to MMS. The Quake in Chile was measured on the MMS scale and was not necessarily 9.8 on the Richter scale. It could have been less than 8.8 and possibly was..

The quake in the Kush was 109 km deep in a valley deep in the mountains and was at least 69 miles from the nearest habitation. 5 days prior to this one there was a 4.7 in almost exactly the same place but 10km closer to the surface.

Perhaps the OP will correct me but I seriously doubt if any damage resulted from this quake - the size of which is actually not particularly unusual for this region.

Here are the larger quakes (4.0+) for the Hindu Kush for the past 365 days

In a nutshell, no. Nothing was 'downgraded'. The method of measurement was changed.

This is because it was not a downgrade

Stay safe friend.

Exactly. Where I live, there is a big fault. I've been thinking about it a lot lately!! A few years back, we had a small quake, I think a 4.8.I'll tell you what, my house shook and things fell. It was scary.

Well, I think it's pretty damn interesting that the sky lights up "sometimes" and "has in the past", yet I've seem to have gone through life without ever once having been educated on this.

If the sky lit up in Chile and the sky lights up during another earthquake within a few days, then I would deem that important. The sky just doesn't "light up" on a frequent basis. Have you ever seen the sky light up? Doubt it.

Since people only garner theories from the phenomena, I think it's important to speculate whenever the chance arises.

So, I ask you.. Why dismiss it so fast, what's the big deal?

I dismiss it so fast because it is evident that it is a naturally occuring phenomena and has been seen during other quakes. And I have seen the Northern Lights so your doubts have failed you this time

If you haven't experienced the phenomena before, it is something you are naturally curious about. There were reports from Haiti of the sky lighting up as well.

Why don't you mods relax a little, and let the rest of us read others opinions?

We don't need you screening every word for us. The amount of speech control on this site is borderline Big Brother.

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

How about Antarctica.

I agree. Although I don't personally blame soldiers who do their jobs with honor for the horrible positions our greedy and corrupt leaders put them in, it seems like a double standard to remove only the posts which criticize them, and not the ones which say "thank you for your service", etc. Both are off topic, according to the mods.

On topic, earthquakes are the new fad media, sky is falling distraction for us. Next year it'll swing back to shark attacks, then killer bees, rinse and repeat. Think these quakes are bad? Shoulda been around millions and millions of years ago when things were just getting started. Here in AZ, our tallest mountain is @ 12,000 feet high, it is estimated it used to be twice as tall, but it erupted and blew in half.

Our home is basically a scab on what is essentially a small star. It's crazy to think about it, but @ 20 miles directly below any of you reading this is fire and molten lava. We live on a cracked egg shell, so earthquakes are to be expected. If they ever stop, then I'll be jumping on the end of the world bandwagon.
