Well thats good then I wrote an alert program for my computer so it just flashed up so thought I would let everyone know

Considering there has been controversial topics all over the place about things heating up over the next few days.

Could this be the start?

I know I heard that there was going to be lots of big earthquakes over the next few days possible due to the solar eclipse but I thought they people that where talking about this where mad lol!

It's a region that is used to these types of quakes, so i guess nothing significant or strange.

But who knows.
Only time will tell.

Thanks for letting is know

Last time we had a 6.0 or higher was last Friday maybe earth likes to shake up a little and say TFIF!

I found no data to back that up.
You can research for yourself

You in the UK to? added some strange pics from the alerts on my phone too!

reply to post by Somethingintheclouds


I don't see anything strange in your pics, only that you've got 47% battery left

Not in the UK, way south, here it's 5 in the morning.

Hmmm. You know I bet the Japanese could invest in another power plant right there. Won't somebody please think about the money?[/sarcasm]

In all seriousness I hope people are okay there they have been getting hit over and over again. It seems the whole world started shaking and it hasn't stopped since.
