Seismic shockers are to be expected, but planet seems to be more active.

While the Chilean earthquake wasn't directly related to Japan's 7.0-magnitude temblor, the two have some factors in common.
For one, any seismic waves that made their way from Japan to the Chilean coast could play a slight role in ground-shaking.
"It is too far away for any direct triggering, and those distances also make the seismic waves as they would pass by from the Haiti or Japan events pretty small because of attenuation," Arrowsmith told LiveScience. (Attenuation is the decrease in energy with distance.) "Nevertheless, if the Chilean fault surface were close to failure, those small waves could push it even closer."

Ixnay on the thulkcukay! I live in Astoria, Oregon and a lot of these people (mostly Dems) look pretty fishy and run to the beach to see the tsunami!
LOL. Thank you that clarifies everything..

“Big quake question: Are they getting worse?”
I’ll bet Danny Glover knows.
Do you have the herald trumpets lined up yet?
The 19th and 20th centuries had many large and distructive quakes.
Rosie odonnel is doing jumping jacks with oprah :(
The early 1960s had two quakes above 9.0. There’s nothing new or surprising about these quakes.
Global Rumbling? Better impose a fat tax. Our weight is causing cracks in the earth’s crust. Paging Algore.
Nope but I have a cherub willing to play the Kazoo!
If anyone is absolutely certain that they’re getting worse, they could make money from that certainty by buying up contracts at Intrade.

9.0.MAG.E-QUAKE.2011
A magnitude 9.0 or greater earthquake to occur anywhere before midnight ET 31 Dec 2011 M Trade 9.0 17.9 10.0 20 0
Without a doubt.
The article was not representative of Arrowhead’s belief.
Situation normal, however that normal is on the uptake of the event curve.
That is pretty neat.
I would think that it certainly would be a solid wager for the 9+ before the new year sure.
Ok here is my thing, the earth goes through periods in time. We are living in one of those periods...
1960-1964 was pretty damned bad. I don’t think we’re there yet. Maybe Algore will weigh in and let us know the truth. I’m sure it’s our fault though
Kinda spooky...the earthquake that started everything was an (scary music here) 8.5 in South America!!!!
perfect answer
Jernalism: Is it gettin wurse?
Three snowstorms in the northeast ain’t squat. It’s snowed twice in Houston this year. Hell that only happens about once every forty years or so.Algore is a genius, he can explain warming or cooling with the same argument. It’s US
I don’t know enough about earthquakes to put money down on it.
But I did do well on Cold Fusion.
