Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Holy guacamole. They're up to 14 quakes in the last ten hours, none weaker than 4.5. And if you look at the link, they've been having these quakes ever since 4/30.

Originally Posted By X-san Yeah, last night was freaky. Never experienced any sort of "one after the other" with such intensity before.

Originally Posted By X-san Well, no damage and no injuries doesn't really amount an international story...particularly with the awful stuff in Myanmar going on. Anyway, it was pretty freaky though, as they seemed to keep getting stronger!
Originally Posted By X-san Thanks, Bloona. Everything is fine, as far as I know. No quakes this morning that I noticed. Cool link from the OP, by the way.

Originally Posted By X-san Wow, check out the link now. China just got CLOBBERED. Poor things. Apparently a couple of SCHOOLS collapsed. I am sincerely getting freaked here. Seems like the ring of fire is going full tilt this year!
