Looky an official "Who Cares" poster!
LOL
RWCon must be missing dissing the Scott Peterson Trial thread.
RW Julia Robert had twins today and there is a thread going on it I bet they could use a "Who Cares" poster over there.

Thanks for the link, Lijahsbubbe.
The volcanologists need access to the volcano to set up their equipment. They sometimes are just barely off and safely away from the volcano when it blows up.
An increase in earthquakes is often a sign of the volcanic lava and gasses breaking rock subsurface "finding" a way up to the surface. Mt. St. Helen's blew in 1980 right after a large quake. The quake did not cause it, but it definitely was a big warning. :-)

We get Who Cares posters over on Sunday nights sometimes..they stop by to tell us they're not listening to Drudge.
Hey, BD, did you see the "JAPAN WAITS FOR THE BIG ONE..." story? After all these 6.x quakes, and a 7.1 "knocks out power temporarily to 1,600," they're waiting for the big one. :)

There is some activity in the Adriatic as well. Lots of creaking and groaning, or maybe just better reporting.

Thanks for chiming in. It is fascinating watching our planet keeps changing.

LOL! One might wonder about the irony in taking the time to register a "not interested" opinion in the subject matter. It sort of reminds me of someone holding their ears saying "I can't hear you, I'm not listening!!"
No, I had not seen that story on the Japanese anticipation of the Big One. Thanks for the link! I thought that most of their quakes were catastrophic. Shudder thinking about a larger one.

Easter Island 6.6
4,000 miles from nowhere, literally out in the open ocean.
If you look at the ring of fire and put your finger in the middle of the ring that's about where Easter Island is.
So far this past week quakes have been working clock wise around the Ring of Fire, be interesting to see if it follows around.
Praying for micro quakes US state side if it does.

Thanks Oceanperch, that's a big quake.
Stateside the area due North of you and in the Archipelago have been getting a lot of moderate sized quakes.

Did you see that USGS began posting the quakes occurring around and near Mt. St. Helen's?

No I didn't.
Boy they have had the big red letters saying they won't for quite awhile.
Then yesterday we had the 3.+ so maybe and they said that cracked the dome.
Hmmmmm. Magna flow coming?

Yes, and there is a big article I found about earthquakes being precursors to volcanic eruption. Just haven't had time nor inclination to post it, LOL. Who cares... ;)
