Interesting comparison. 1989 Okland quake was about the same strength. Population probably about the same too if you include Alameda county and the bay area.(guessing).

I heard that although both were 7.0 earthquakes, the power associated with this one was 4 times greater. Not sure why.....possibly because it was so close to the surface?

If a disaster like Haiti ever hit the modern day USA, looting would start on Day 2 at the latest IMO.

The Haitian people have shown a great resolve and dignity.

Any murdering, raping and pillaging ‘machete wielding yoots’ in NOLA were dispatched forthwith to their maker under Honore, and aid proceeded relatively risk free

Care to provide a link backing that assertion?

because I’m sick and tired of us continually letting the left slide on their hypocrisy. Or have you forgotten the venom spewed at GWB during katrina?
