Earthquakes 2008

Makes sense, all places named are within a radius of 2000km.

Well I just planted 30 tomato seedlings yesterday. I do hope they’re OK. I wonder if I should go there tonight and give them some counseling or something. They’re only little.

did anyone feel that?

Sure did

Feel that? :stuck_out_tongue:

No!

No shaking down here.

Nope.

Yes, but it was not a Quake. it trembled indeed, but I guess it was the guy in front of me in 7/11 farting.

How can they say “a magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit Taiwan” when it was 234.2 km south of Lanyu? It barely rocked the south, and we up north got nada. Sensationalism, that’s all it is.

That was a close one

I don’t usually feel them out here in Xindian, but I felt that.

Dear god that was nasty!

Wow!

Yee-Haw!

Only about 10 seconds long, but let you know it was there…

Felt that in HsinChuang, Almost made my fish tank overflow… 1:00am on my watch…

There was one…
