This earthquake is over 600 miles from Krakatoa.
Just came back from a Hawaii trip, it was great.
Lots of other really smart geo-freepers- but I know that if it’s shallow it’s likely to cause more trouble.
Actually the scientific basis for the 2012 theory is that earth is entering the gravitational plane created by the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. As we get closer and closer to the middle of the gravitational plane we are supposed to see an increase in large earthquakes, culminating in a pole shift in 2012 when we are smack dam in the center of the plane. The recent wave of earthquakes are just what is predicted. I'm not saying I buy it all, but these events are interesting.
Iceagenow is one of the greatest fountains of absolute scientific nonsense on the internet.
We love Kona, this is our 4th trip.
Flights and hotel are dirt cheap right now!
Obama making sure his Indonesian citizenship records are destroyed.

Eh, it's a decent distance offshore, it wasn't near the major west-coast cities of Sumatra, and a M 7.8 earthquake is unlikely to create anything larger than a very localized tsunami.
I think I heard about that somewhere???.....
The times they are a changing... Look up folks!!!
Well... I’m not a physicist, but I don’t think there is any such thing as a “gravitational plane”. Gravity just doesn’t work that way.
I was at a park in a Los Angeles suburb Easter Sunday when the Mexicali quake hit. It was so slow and rolly that most people weren’t aware of it. It felt like a cruise ship moving in calm seas. I felt it distinctly and it lasted over 2 minutes, not at all like all the others I’ve experienced. No shocking moment.
But it reminded me of the complete helplessness we feel in a quake, the kinetic energies involved are almost unimaginable. The entire landscape acts like rubber.
For now!!!
The Raccoon River can get really big waves when a deer runs across it!
I wonder if all these killer earthquakes are because Venus and Mercury are close together in the sky.
I fell in love with Kauai. It was wild to see all of the lava rocks around the Kona area. Maui was a disappointment.
What goes up, must come down. That goes double for [gravitational] (air)planes.
Connecticut has many per day, they are just so small, no one knows it
One sports team, the MOODUS NOISES is named after the groanings of Earth during these mini quakes
Einstein bought into it and believed in the feasabililty of it causing a pole shift.
