I heard about this on FOX. They have a sunami watch out. They had a 5.3 on Sunday and people paniced. Bet it was crazy today with the 7.8

FWIW, Sumatra had the 3rd largest recorded quake in 2004, a 9.1.

I know certain people don't agree with me, but it was just a couple of months ago they sent a nuclear weapon into space, and exploded it. Is this just coincidence or is it something we better stop and think about before we get ourselves into a real mess. That's a lot of pressure and it has to go somewhere.

According to the article I linked, it's just a cycle. The cycle lasts 10 or 20 years. There was one in the early 1900's, and so on.

I don't think the discharge of the weapon in space is responsible, but you never know!

JMHO
