She was watching the news, and it turns out that just an hour ago an earthquake struck Sumatra, a part of Indonesia. It was a 9.2. Now there will probably be a worse tsunami then at last time. On top of that, anyone who wasn't near the earthquake wont't know about the tsunami, if there is one, for a while because its night there.

Meanwhile, it's raining here, and I have to walk to the store to get milk.

Damn you, mother nature.

lol. Nature is so unpredictable you never know what it is going to throw at you.

Mmm... I don't know whether to be panicked, or worried, or what... Those poor people.... :(

I'm sure us Canadians will send over the rescue copters to the... rescue :D

What?! Not again :( They are still probably rebuilding from the last one :( Those poor people :(

Hooray for Canada! I live in Ontarion, what about you?

Man, my dad's watching the whole thing on TV... it's upsetting me... again :lol:

I doubt it, mega. Our helicopters might fall apart trying to get there.

Meh. Typical. Most of the Canadians here are from Ontario, with the exception of me and alana. We're from Newfoundland. If anyone here says anything more specific, you're in trouble with me.

Mmf. Another one, eh? Lousy weather over there.

Yep. And its an 8.7, according to comcast.net

NOOO!!! My favorite gaming site, Home of the Underdogs, is centered in Taiwan...
Why must Asia be assailed by tsunami's and SARS again and again? ARGH!!!

But really, that sucks. Actually, the aftershocks shouldn't be as bad, I heard at the Museum of Natural History that the magnitude was 9.0, so if it's actually 8.7...

But still, that is really [blocked] up. I guess I'm lucky I live in a safe part of the USA, at least in terms of natural disasters. Guess I'll make a donation and such.

Good thing Connecticut's safe from all that stuff.

But I feel so sorry for them. (Not going to abuse the little upset smiley after what Luis did.)

Why is that area falling apart at the seams? i'm 82% sure there isn't a major fault line there, the last quake noked the earth in its rotation i don't think the planet can handle this much abuse. earth is so small...

You should see Earth in Katamari Damacy. It's tiny.

Anyway, I don't think an earthquake could possibly affect the earth's axis. It would take a comet/asteroid at least a km wide to move earth off its axis.

a huge earthquake at least 6 points off the richter scale could probably do it.

Neither Earthquake moved the earth off its rotation, but i'm sure the first one stopped the earth's rotation for a few seconds, and that could be enough to screw us all

it really would.

The earth can't kill itself. There's no way it can summon enough power to stop itself when it's spinning at like a couple million miles per second and shooting through space at around a billion miles per second.
