And the M6 aftershocks were nothing to sneeze at either.

I could never live along the Ring of Fire. :nono:

not only the magnitude is important... but the depth is as well. Any earthquake is bad, but those less than 15 miles deep can really f**k-up the surface.

the 8.1 was 11 miles deep, the 7.4 was 32 miles deep.

The Alaskan earthquake in 1964 was a 9.2 @ 15 miles depth.

It appears it started yesterday afternoon and seems to continue.

That thing isn’t water proof. If someone flushed a toilet within 500 yards of it the humidity killed the engine. :ack:
