After Haiti and Chile, there were all these "experts" saying "People want to think they're related but they're not."



Now since Baja, China, and at least one other I'm forgetting...



Are they still not related?

Do not be concerned, citizen.  The Lord, thy GOD, OBAMA has the situation well in hand.

Thank you.  Please move along.

Maybe it's like the Tacoma Narrows bridge and the oscillations will keep resonating stronger and stronger.

They're all related, it's just an enormously complex system that we lack tools to measure adequately.

If earthquakes put you on edge, don't live in a high seismic risk zone.  That's about all you can do.  You have no control over the rest.

Obama has taken the Haliburtin/Blackwater Global Warming/Hurricane and is using it to create earthquakes.

It's Bush's fault

How are they related?  Just because a few quakes happen within several months ... in KNOWN earthquake territory???

You hear that Elizabeth?  I'm comin' to join you, honey!

I was born and raised in Chile, experienced earthquakes like few people in this planet, this last one caught my family on the 7th floor on the coast...since the original temblor there have been over 400 aftershocks ranging from 4 to 7, almost on a daily basis, sometimes several in a day....
Construction codes are veru strict in Chile one of the main reasons we did not see the number of deaths as in Haiti which 800 times less energy...
Chile is well prepared for this kind of thing so aid requirements have not been as expected, mostly manpower.
FEMA should take notes on how to handle disaster from these guys, a buddy from school told me Chile sent experts to Haiti and that their recory there was mostly bodies, in Chile it was mostly injured.

If San Francisco ever experiences one like this last one that city is toast.

All seismic activity on Earth is loosely related.

Yes they are related, it is a plot by Halliburton to cause disruption of the Obama Regime, and bring a Republican to power. They did it during the Clinton years, with the Halliburton Crop Destruction Device, When used the CDD left unusual designs in fields, some people mistakenly said these crop circles were caused by Aliens.  

Anyway, the Earthquakes will stop occurring at this rate when a Republican is elected, and the Evil Halliburton is back in control of its puppit in the white house. Just like Crop Circals, you didn't see any of them after Bush got elected, did you?
