earthquakes

A guy on another forum posted a diatribe about how "God f'n Rocks" for recently giving him a good deal on his rent. http://www.freedomcrowsnest.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83304 But when I said, "God's a swell guy. Sure, he just killed 230,000 people in Haiti, but he gave John a great deal on his...

had a thought some time ago humans/govts have been controlling earthquakes and so on.. i let it seat for abit, then i found in a readers digest book which was wrote in 1991/92 the image below. I mentioned it to a few peeps and then i got told to youtube HAARP and bang!! look at what was around...

I have been following the Earthquake hits Haiti thread and was very struck by a particular comment At first I took it as a kind of mean spirited comment, then I took it as a rhetorical question, then I started thinking, what if this person honestly doesn’t know why? Then I thought, “Do I know...

Let's not get overexcited and lose perspective. The US will probably never be able to give enough aid to suffering Haitians to repay its debt to them. Some history: Haiti's Tragic History Is Entwined with the Story of America

What a couple of complete scumbags... Based upon the nonsense that these two wastes of skin are spewing, I think perhaps the most immediate & best way to deal with it is to send a big donation to aid agencies which will be able to help in Haiti.

Big earthquake hits Haiti This looks really serious. I've been trying to contact a work colleague in Port-au-Prince, but can't get through. The mobile phone networks are down. This from the BBC:

Interesting piece : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8283873.stm

OK guys and gals, here is today's thought question! Would WTC 7 have survived the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and the ensuing three-day fire? Pros: WTC 7 was a steel framed building designed to withstand multiple fully-loaded airplane strikes, had fire-proofing, a water sprinkler system...

When it's an aftershock. Seriously though, when does an earthquake count as an aftershock and when is it counted as a separate event? I ask because of this story on the BBC. Apparently a 6.0 earthquake 3 months after a previous earthquake still counts as an aftershock. I'm no earthquakeologist...

Still a witch here. I see the million is coming to an end. Just curious though--I seem to have felt these last two recent earthquakes a day or two before they happened, and then when they happened the sensation lifted, before I had read the earthquake news. Personally, if this is real, I...

That Dr. Turi is preparing a vast e-mail spam to let the whole world know he and he alone predicted it in the “Dagon’s Tail” (or some crap) WOWOWOWOWO

Can clouds actually predict earthquake? On this site: http://quake.exit.com/ The guy suggests that certain types of clouds can predict earthquakes. It seems bull to me, so is there anyone who knows the science here?

A few days ago at least two different videos have shown up on Liveleak and Youtube and the like, claiming to be films of smallish clouds that have rainbow colors on them. They are claimed to be about 30 minutes before the earthquake (with the usual attendant implications about stresses in the...

I assume that everyone's heard about the earthquake in China by now. As of last count, over 40,000 dead, and over 5 million homeless. It is shocking, it is tragic...it is one of those things that tends to just leave you feeling numb. And yet, for all the tragedy here, I want to highlight one...

Almost 8,000 reported dead in and around the city of Chengdu in the Sichuan Province. It is reported as the deadliest earthquake in at least the last three decades. Interestingly, text messaging is playing a large role in news updates, and also being used between family members, due to the...

This is the James Randi Educational Foundation... so I thought I would give all here a head's up on a lecture series joint-hosted by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) and the Seismological Society of America (SSA). You can obtain more information about the lecturers...

At the risk of adding credibility to Sylvia: HOWEVER, it should be noted: There were no earthquakes in Alaska in 2004 All of the above hit "near the coast of" Japan, none were centered under Japanese land

I know this is old, but ... Did you know that terrorists can alter global climate and cause earthquakes and tidal waves by using fantastic machines that generate electromagnetic waves? Apparently some government officials at least used to think so and made public statements to that effect...

I've been reading posts on this site for a couple months now and I can understand why most of the people on this forum feel that people that can predict future events, talk with the dead or whatever it may be are lying. I'm sure that a good portion of them are either crazy or just looking for...

ok this is a hugely speculative OP, :) what would the regional and global impact of a major earthquake in Tokyo be? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3950315.stm obviously there is no definitive answer, simply because it depends on the actual size and location of any future...

When anyone claims to have predictive/psychic abilities my usual response is that (if what they say is true) I must be totally psychically handicapped, because I have never had any personal experience of such abilities. Lately however, I have had strong (growing) thoughts/feelings that I will...

Once again we are seeing concrete buildings in a poor country reduced to a stack of pancakes. Does anyone know whether building for earthquake resistance is intrinsically much more expensive or can it be achieved using cheap systems provided they are done correctly and supervised properly...

Just a note of sympathy. ... and to say wow, what a year for disasters, the tsunami, hurricane Katrina and now this. (apologies if I left any out) 18,000 dead 40,000 injured estimated and the numbers are climbing, some as high as 30,000 dead. 7.6 (IIRC Japan seismologists say 7.8) Quake...

Here in L.A. Wasn't too big in my neighborhood, but did shake me to my feet. I peeked outside to see if the dog felt it with his super dog senses. Alas, he remain sunbathing in the grass without a care. :D

Just throwing a hunch out there. At least a 6.0 by midnight on the 28th of February. Oh. And "Ladybrooke". :D edit: of 2005!!

He measure the dark matter of the universe to do so and saw enough to warn India where a panic was caused the other week. But why didn't he warn about the actual quake? Which is followed up by: Well, that and his asinine method. My knowledge of scalars was that you couldn't cross them...

Not sure how accurate this table is. I don’t have a geology background. I suspect the table may not take into account some variables. From what I understand, the Richter scale is considered to be out of date. However, I do think that mankind’s puny nukes have nothing on Mother Nature...

I'm surprised there's been no comment on the Sumatra earthquake. Or have I missed it?
