Right. Those scientists had predicted one by 9/5, neh??

Well, it's pretty damn hot today, so who knows? My grandfather always said that the heat helped cause earthquakes... So..... :sweat:

What means jinx ? It's not in my dictionnary :(

I have felt several earthquakes. It can be very scary. It is amazing how different each can fee. Some really shake others kind of roll it's hard to explain the feeling.

Some people spell it Jynx. it means to cause bad luck. Some people (Including me) believe if you talk about something bad it may cause it to happen.

I can't remember what earthquakes feel like...there was the Northridge earthquake ...but I was only 4, so I don't remember anything.

You're about a year or so younger than my nephew... :sweat:

damn! 7.3? thats scary, i remember having it in LA, that was the 2nd time of my life experiencing an earthquake :shakehead:

Earthquakes always were sort of fun, except for the rumbling sound, other than that it was kinda cool.... :hehe:

Yups. Very weird weather in Japan lately. :shakehead:

They had that hurricane just recently (about early to mid last week) and then they had the earthquake. They also have another hurricane that just hit them today too. And to top it off, today (just when the mother in law arrived back to Japan today from Hawaii), there was another earthquake. :shakehead:

Jeez. I hope Kaachan is okay.

Oh my god, it's not weird, it's crazy :crazy: ... What is an earthquake ? What is a hurricane ? I've never seen any. You must be very stressed with that kind of weather.

Poor Japan! All these natural disasters are just coming at them one after the other. Isn't there another typhoon heading for them again or something? :sweat:

Here's a link to CNN:

Really, earthquakes of 6.0ish or less aren't that bad. Heck, slamming your garage door is like a 5.0 earthquake. A large truck driving by your house is like a 4.0 earthquake.

This earthquake must have been terrible.

Thats too bad that they are having these natural disasters. My grest auntie must have bad timing or something because I think she just left for Japan today.

did anyone die cause of the earth quake? :shocked:
