    Man, the schit seems to be going down...big earthquake in Nepal...and if I remember correctly, volcano in Peru friday(?)...and I feel like there's another event I'm forgetting...


    Can we summarise the tectonic happenings as of late here?

    I haven't been near a computing device since I left here Friday, and would appreciate some help getting caught up.

    Surf related b/c tsunamis.

    For your troubles:

    Play with the settings and you can see quakes from the last 1-30 days.

    Interesting and scary, it is a truly no notice event. Not many other no notice events like it other than asteroids and aliens but Cep has told us enough about the aliens already so we should be warned.

    Is it natural and our technology is making us more aware?
    Are we pulling the materials out from under us and wondering why the floor is falling apart?
    Whats up with that hole in Russia anyway?

    Dudes, you fellers know The Dead was playing Fire on the Mountain when Mt St Helens erupted in the late 70s/early 80s...and they were like 100 miles away...

    If one of those two go off(MSH/Yellowstone Caldera) this is some next level Suniliarity type stuff...

    There are a handful of fault lines in the US that are nearing their "coupla hundred years" marks. The Cascadia Subduction Zone in the PNW, the New Madrid Fault Line in Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri area and dear old Charleston too.

    That's a good point. And it goes right along with our current information overload on every subject. The Pompeiians.... Pompeiiites? Probably thought the gods were smiting them with shaking ground and definitely weren't paying attention to anything happening in the ring of fire or more than a couple days walk away. Now we know every shake on earth within the hour. We're cause and effect animals so we want know why. Sometimes "because" isn't a good enough answer. I'm a dad so "because" is a damn good answer.

    Didn't die but blew my shoulder up on day 1. Just did some body surfing to test it out before paddling back out tomorrow.

    pompeiiites rhymes with sodomites, I guess they had it coming

    and Mt. St Hellenes has erupted before
    Not so much with the yellowstone dealie

    I love Volcanic Eruptions
