      6.7 is very big. This is all you're going to tell us? Thanks ever so.

      End of Days, nobody knows but we will have to see what 2012 brings in, so they say Dec. 21, 2012

      By the way, here are some numbers to keep in mind;

      Frequency of Occurance of Earthquakes: (on average)
      magnitude of 8.0 or higher - about 1 per year. (note 1)
      magnitude of 7 to 7.9 - about 15 per year (note 1)
      magnitude of 6 to 6.9 - about 134 (note 2)
      here is the fun part
      magnitude of 5 to 5.9 - about 1,319 (that equates to just under 110 per month.) (note 2)
      notes:
      1.) since 1900
      2.) since 1990

      In comparison to 2010 (in the same order)
      1
      21
      151
      1963 - just under 164 per month

      In 2011 (so far, same order)
      1
      15
      152
      1813 - just over 151 per month

      Make up your conclusion.

      Quick, everyone, run to the shoreline and watch the tsunami!
    • DragonAtma  •  8 mths ago
      Let's hope the quake was harmless.

      Here it comes ready or not.

      This is why our Government has not fixed anything, we already know from out natural intuition the shift of poles is comming quick. Can you feel the power of consciousness! No more duping the governed, we just need the masses to act responsible now.

      First a X Class Flare, then a massive power outage, now a 6.7 earthquake in Vancouver.
      Say it ain't so?
    • Not sure If I have one.  •  8 mths ago
      WHAT!!!! NO 2012 comment, men this has to be the end of the world.
      • Not sure If I have one. 8 mths ago
        Oh wait, I just realized that I made a comment of 2012, thus the world is not comming to an end.

      Panama or possibly (Santiago Chile) but the big one coming across is overdue.

      i am the first to be against the 2012 doomsdayers but i dunno i'm starting to get a little nervous with all the bad weather hottest weather, hurricanes going more north etc... i think climate change is happening before our eyes.
      • Joy 8 mths ago
        Ditto. I don't think we are in the "end times" but there's definitely something going on here.
      • Sharon 8 mths ago
        Nothing to be nervous about if you believe in Jesus. The end will come and if you're prepared then you have nothing to fear.

    • VictorA  •  8 mths ago
      What is scary some crazy dude on a yahoo article posted there would be a significant earthquake on the west coast of north america on 9 sept 2011, i know a 6.7 might not cause huge damage but it still a decent size, somebody should contact him how in the world he knew it was coming.
      • Ryan 8 mths ago
        I remember reading that, too.
      • Kent 8 mths ago
        He probably knew that that was when the first of the CMEs were due to hit us? More CMEs are to hit throughout the weekend. Our sun has had a series of x and m class flares. North America was a good bet. I happen to live in California so I am getting just a little nervous!
    • Tuan  •  8 mths ago
