Japan's Not Lookin' Too Good

I copied this map from http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ site. The yellow boxes represent the earthquakes from the past seven days, the blue ones within the past 24 hours, and the red ones within the hour.  This was copied at 7:00am today, March 15th.   If you are at all interested in the earth's movements, check out this site. You'd be surprised where some of the 'hot spots' are located.

Yeah. I've been watching that site almost daily for about 6 months, and there is very little action anywhere near Merida. I also check out the volcano site after Wednesdays, when it gets updated, although the page looks dull until clicking on the links html links:http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/

Knock on wood, but one of the reasons I prefer Mérida to the other places I have lived or thought about living...we are not near a fault line. I've been knocked on my ass in earthquakes, experienced a few strong 7.4's, and endured a night in El Centro CA with 77 quakes. My cat and I are done with being shook up. Hurricanes, another force of nature...with warnings and precautions you can take to save your life. Earthquakes?

One minute....a quiet Sunday Morning, next minute shit's a flyin everywhere and you are hopping vertically trying to get out of your house. The longest "seconds" anyone has ever experienced.

Thanks for the link.
