| #7 That whole area's a subduction zone, right up past Japan. They've gotta be nervous, the whole zone may be repositioning as the stress changes due to the earlier quakes. 300 miles down is definitely deep movement. |

| #6 I hate it when the EarthQuake scientists are nervous, I expect mother/momma Ghaia to have a Grand Mal shortly to show us the way. The way means removing 95 percent of the human population to make room for the green relaxation period for the well informed and perpetually clueless. |

| #4 There was news a week or so ago that the earthquake scientists are extremely nervous, in that, where these earthquakes are happening, they are observing things *never seen before*. And they don't like that. The situation is that two plates are meeting, but instead of there being a collision with an up-or-down, *or* right-and-left movement, there is *both*. They have no idea what will happen next, except a whole lot of trembling is going on. |

| #2 From the USGS site: A major earthquake occurred at 12:23:15 (UTC) on Saturday, February 5, 2005. The magnitude 7.1 event has been located in the CELEBES SEA. The hypocentral depth was estimated to be 486 km (302 miles). (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.) Anyone have anymore news on this? I haven't found anything, other than the upgrade. |
