That must have been one heck of a quake to throw Cuba over a few thousand miles and over Mexico, to the west.

I hope you are not part of the 188-Day "Ring of Fire" Cult.

That will be a ‘life as we know it’ changing event.

And that's why I'm asking the Congress to pass this jobs bill right away.

No cults for me, just observing quakes in NZ, Japan, S America, etc. Seems the tectonic plates are getting frisky these days.

Yes, you would be right about that. We are prepared with water, food, etc. and we have earthquake insurance.

Hi there

I live in Samoa, and last week we had a 6.4, we get earthquakes all the time, but this one was fun, about 10.30 pm and the whole house starts rocking and rolling, when you get so many tremors you tend to ignore them. One thing i have noticed however, the bigger ones come in two stages, the first tremors last about 30 secs and dwindle off, but if a second wave comes then that is when you gotta be careful, like the one from the Tsunami 2009,because it builds and when the house starts to move you wonder, is this the one ?

I felt that one in Tokyo, a long steady rumble, but no damage.

the 188-day cult will either be exonerated or discredited soon

LOL... my perspective was a bit different. I didn’t need to see any websites to get the full flavor.

For the past several years I have one of those USGS earthquake gadgets on my desktop scrolling new earthquakes as they happen and I don't see any increase in friskiness.

Though there is a significant increase in FUD regarding them.

ps. I should add our family land is about 5km from the rim of the top of a dormant volcano, maybe not a good idea to have land here, ya think???? Last eruption was on a neighbouring island about 100 years ago, hey but nothing is guaranteed in life. I remember that guy that fled Canada in the late 70’s with his family because he was scared of Nuclear war, he chose the most unihabited english speaking place in the world, the Falkland Islands!!!!! yeah Good Choice.

OK, I had to Google the 188 day thing.

As with all of these ideas, there is a certain plausibility intrinsic to their hypotheses.

15 Sep is THE day. um, that’s today!
