    Magnitude-7.2 quake shakes Fiji

    NEW YORK (AP) — A magnitude-7.2 earthquake rattled Fiji in the Pacific Ocean on Friday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. No tsunami warning was issued, and no damage or casualties were immediately reported.

    The 7:30 a.m. (1930 GMT Thursday) quake was deep, some 368.5 miles (593 kilometers) below the surface, the USGS said.

    The USGS said the quake hit some 264 miles (425 kilometers) west of Nuku'alofa, Tonga, and 281 miles (453 kilometers) southeast of Suva, Fiji.

      HHHMMM!!! The increase in earthquakes, hurricanes,volcanoes,tornados,tsunamis, I am sure have nothing to do with Dec. 2012 or the earth's mantel shifting or alignment of the planets or the sun's increase in solar flares??? Sure, like people say this has been going on for thousands of years nothing changing and nothing to look at here just keep moving along sheeple!!!

      Asteroid 2005 YU55 is following Comet Elenin(actually a brown dwarf), YU55 will pass earth within the moon's orbit
      and fly through Elenin's debris field and hopefully not get knocked into the earth.

      why does the press feel the need to report every single quake anywhere on the planet lately. This kind of activity has gone on for a few billion years. its nothing out of the ordinary or special.

      All it does is give us a chance to read comments from morons, internet trolls and stoners.

        there's been a 6 or better quake everyday for the last 15 days around the ring of fire.
        out of the ordinary?.....Yes!

        its called plate tectonics.

        greg's point is that they are not reporting on it. yesterday fiji had a 6.2 earthquake..japan had a 6.0 earthquake and cuba had a 6.1 earthquake that was later downgraded to a 5.1. this all happened yesterday with about 30 others. thursday was very busy and it looks like friday might be worse.

        wait a couple hours. there's only hundreds of earthquakes every single day all over the world. its been going on for billions of years. Welcome to earth where we have a molten core and tectonic plates
      • Brenda 8 mths ago
        Yes, Greg I know this, but not so many in such a short period of time at the higher magnitudes.

      Tsunami?
      To heck with that! Watch out for falling Coconuts! :-o

      If you haven't done so lately, pick up a bible and read it. These events have been predicted and are coming true almost daily. There are wars coming as well as the rapture of the church and Jesus' second coming after the seven year tribulation. Get right with God folks. He died for you so you could! Blessings

        You think???
      • Brock 8 mths ago
        WE ALL KNOW THAT!!!!! You're assuming that everyone accepts the Bible as the word of God. "These events" have been ongoing for billions of years, look at USGS statistics. I'll grant you the fact that the Pacific Rim seems to be more volatile at the moment, but it too has done this in the past as well.
