Dozens die as quake rocks eastern Turkey - Europe- msnbc.com

Quote:

ANKARA, Turkey - A strong earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6, hit eastern Turkey on Monday, killing at least 57 people and knocking down houses in at least six villages, officials said.

I have not been keeping count, but I believe there was one in Asia before Haiti, than another one before Chili. And, now Turkey. An effect of "Global Warming"? :roll:

Like I said, I have not been keeping score, but am I the only one beginning to wonder if this is some kind of trend? Get the rest of the earth's crust ready for the "sinking of California"?

I don't get how this is related to Global Warming, it's not the atmosphere causing these shifts in the earth's crust. These large earthquakes like Chile and Haiti can cause non manmade Global Warming though. The Chile quake is said to have changed earth's axis slightly which could effectively change the length of days by a couple of milliseconds. Doesn't sound like much but that little bit added up over time becomes a lot.

These quakes go in cycles, wasn't it back in the early 90's there were a bunch of earthquakes all over the world. I know we had one locally that was a 3 on a very small fault about 30 miles southwest of me back then. It was right around the time of the 89 San Fran quake.

I don't know either.
I have more important things to consider, like spending 3 1/2 hours a day prowling forums, looking for that site that offers "free dates with Shania."

I spend the rest of my time dreaming of soapy showers with that lovely minx,

or coming here to see if any of you hosers will fix me up with your wifes succulent single friend....or at least Megan Fox.

:rofl: Ahh man! Wooo! Stop Raodhog! I can't take anymore of it. :rofl: :clap:

Yeah,...there have been a few earthquakes here lately. Man! Is it that time of year, or have they just happened to hit all of a sudden? Sure is bad.

SAw a blurb that Hawaii just had a little earth shaking going on. That isn't much of a surprise with those islands being made of volcanoe's.

I believe I read where the Chile earthquake was one of the 10 strongest on record in the world. Hawaii dodged a bullet with the tsunami. Next time, they may not be so lucky.

There was an earthquake in Indonesia a week or so ago, too, that was a 6+ I believe. But with the devastation in Haiti and the big one in Chile, there's not a lot of press being given to these other ones.

Time's runnin' out, methinks.

The Chile Earthquake was ranked the 5th strongest ever in recorded history. It moved the city of Concepcion 10 ft to the West. Buenos Aires which is 800 miles away was moved an inch to the West and Chile's captial city of Santiago was moved about a foot. Earth's axis was moved 3 inches. The area of Concepcion has continued to feel numerous aftershocks, some ranging above 6.0.

sorry Hoggy, my wife's friend was so anxious to meet you that she started running and caused an earthquake

Maybe there's some truth to this 2012 crap afterall.

I just threw that in for chuckles and jollies. Seems like everything but Toyota's problems are all tied into Global Warming. Why not tremors too? It's either that, or an "Act of GOD", and GOD would not do such a thing that would kill hundreds of people, would he? Would he?

So, it must be attached to the Global Warming.:thumbsup:
