1. That is two rather large ones in one day. One in mexico and now

one in indonesia. I sure hope the plates aren't shifting that far apart and connected.

5. Elementary cause & effect: voters choose Lamont- plates shift

Don't you know your Right Wing Science?

2. This has all the trademarks..........

of an Al Qaeda style attack. :shrug: Hey, it works for any other situation. According to the GOP anyway.

4. The shelf off the coast

of sustained many fractures and more quakes in the region have been expected (it has always been a geologically active area).

[karlrschneider]

6. Yep, most all of Indonesia. Tambora, Krakatoa, etc.

7. It's not called

the ring of fire for nothing.

8. I saw that on Discovery or something recently.

There's going to be a big one off the coast of Washington State that is supposed to cause a the mother of all tsunamis.

9. The History Channel had a "Mega Disasters" episode on it...

Pretty much all of the Northwest Coast is overdue for a Tsunami. What cracks me up is that when I lived on the Oregon coast last year, and Hurricane Katrina happened, all these rednecks started saying things like, "What do you expect if you live in a city below sea level - they're stupid to live there". I just looked at them and said, "Imagine all the people who are going to say that about us when the Tsunami hits". The Oregon Coast is not prepared for a Tsunami - especially if it were to hit in the summer months.

10. Maybe that's what I saw.

It was specific in its science and precise in it's sincerity that we are going to experience a tsunami on the West Coast in our lifetime. It wasn't a question of if, but when.
