"We can still see the devastation of the Mt. Toba eruption."

Toba was the last super-volcano eruption on earth, 74,000 years ago. There were as few as 10,000 people left on earth after Toba. That event is still detectable in our DNA.

Isn't it a geologic fact that the entire Indonesian archipelago flatly EXITS BECAUSE OF THESE ERUPTIONS, over many eons. Apparently that process will continue, for eons to come.

Well, I appreciate your concern about Alaska’s coast, and I suppose if I was living in Ketchikan again that megatsunami would be a worry. In fact, any tsunami was a concern there - apparently the 1946 Scotch Cap quake created a little wave that wiped out a neighborhood.

However, my friend, I’m safely located about 200 miles inland and a little south of the Arctic Circle. Unless the wave is a kilometer high and can get over some substantial mountains, I’m all right. And if there is a kilometer-high wave, though, I’m looking at a fair amount of water damage in my shed.

Thanks for the ping bro!

Double Quakes still pegged. Wouldn't surprise me if the underlying linguistics layer ("tectonics" and "infrastructure destruction") are volcanic in nature.

Just exactly when is the Great One visiting Indonesia on this vacation? Not sure whether he can talk it back to sleep.

No doubt as soon as he gets the sea levels down a bit he'll be right on the job stopping the mega-eruption in Indonesia. But, more importantly, is it racist of him to make the Indonesians wait until he's finished lowering the level of the seas?

Four earthquakes greater than magnitude 5 took place today on each side of the Pacific Ring of Fire:

Iceland is also experiencing a large increase in recent earthquake activity:

Thanks. I saw Glenn on TV and heard him on his radio show too.

No.

I confess, I lost interest.

If I'm prepared for The One-Hour Meltdown then I'm prepared for this to, yes?

Not necessarily.

If your preps include a large garden, cooling induced by a large volcanic eruption may preclude that.

Yup.

I'm prepared to have a garden but I'm also prepared for life without one too.

Those views never give us the big picture.

I found a program that is AWESOME and lets you see the Earthquake activity around the WORLD in 3D.

Go here: http://www.wolton.net/quake.html

Download the program and run it. It only takes a few seconds, and it’s FREE.

SEE earthquakes around the world ALL AT THE SAME TIME !!!
Instantly ‘spin’ to any spot on the GLOBE.

ZOOM IN/ZOOM OUT.

This program is fantastic.
