QUOTE
An 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile early this morning toppled buildings, cut roads, power lines and telecommunication, and set off tsunami warnings that sent people scrambling for higher ground from Hawaii to China. The most powerful temblor to hit quake-ridden Chile in half a century had claimed as many as 120 lives by midafternoon, and the death toll was rising.

Not so long ago, the Ryukyu islands suffered a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. Like 22 hours ago?

I just think everything's connected.

Ring of Fire earthquake zone. There's a theory that due to plate tectonics a severe earthquake in one place can trigger one elsewhere- especially along the same plate. I tend to believe that theory.

I figure it might trigger another one somewhere within the week along that zone, with a 7.3 and 8.8 along that zone though, hopefully that's released enough pressure that any others along that zone will be a lot weaker- like a 5 or 6 or something less. I'm slightly worried it might trigger one along the west coast of the US or Canada.

I like to go out and party, but I do not like drinks served in a femvase (damn fruity stuff... ew), so good ol' beer is my mate. So yeah, I'm also a psychology student, so your mind interests me.

It could happen! The Canary Islands could actually create a larger, powerful tsunami then most, called a Mega Tsunami. It would create an initial height of 1,000 meters, and when it reaches North America and the Caribbean, its height would be approximately fifty meters.

As I said, DON'T say anything. Let me die of age first before we can have Mother Nature's wrath happening on the entire Earth.

No such thing. Enjoy your life, it's the only one you get.

Alright, I'll stop with the doomsday theories.
