SuperSlovak, I know right?

That's funny the way you wrote you that, but I see your point as well.

I'm like WTF?

When do we start calling these events Biblical as a collective.

Like say, Saturdays events bordering on Biblical. We have to be pushing the envelope. As already stated on a previous thread. Even Phage has got to be wondering what the hell is going on?

People have been calling natural events biblical since...the bible was first scribed down.

Science stopped calling things biblical and simply wanted to understand them. In florida, we once had a year where we had 5 hurricanes hit us, plenty of people in Florida was thinking the end was nigh...come to find out, they were just hurricanes during hurricane season.

Boy! If there is one more major earthquake before the nights over I'm going to get my EMT gear inventoried and ready! This is becoming outrageous.

Wow 3 in a day with such high numbers attached to them. I am really starting to believe in this harrp thoery. They seem to be in a line. A line going arround the planet. chile, afgan, japan. next one will be Cali.

Other theories I don't want to believe are.
The next few quakes will be in southern Europe then Africa. At that point the world will split into 2 and we can start using our shuttles to visit another planet. Although that other planet will be the other half of earth.
Or maybe its the tidal forces from that cloaked planet nibiru coming closer causing stress on the planet's magnetic field.
Or perhaps Mother earth is fighting back and trying to shake the bad human scum off of her.
Or aliens digging to deep in the mantle.
Or Apocalypse judgment day.

I mean anything is possible. Just because I choose not to want to believe in them they might be factors in this shake the world day.

wow you are good!

How did you know California would be next?
They just had close to a 3.0 Just now!

Tell me what else do you think will happen?

haha, well just follow the path, besides that was the easy one. they get hit with one when somebody sneeze. If im right with the rest of them then i be sure to let you know what my Predictions will be.

OK now this is just starting to get a bit spooky...

This is like the fourth or fifth 6.9 quake somewhere in the world in the past month or so. Unless the media is just simply doing a better job of covering and reporting them or they're on the rise globally.
