Thailand warns of unusual underwater tremors | |
2006-03-12 | |
BANGKOK - Thailand warned Saturday of a series of unusual underwater earthquakes in the Andaman Sea, urging caution along its southern coast where the tsunami hit in 2004. The National Disaster Warning Center said that between March 9 and11 it had detected 31 quakes ranging in magnitude from 4.0 to 5.3 near the Andaman Islands, some 500 kilometers (300 miles) east of the southern Thai province of Ranong. The epicenters have been in an area where underwater volcanoes sometimes erupt along a fault line, it said in a statement. “It could cause a major eruption of underwater volcanoes, and that could trigger a tsunami that would damage Thailand,” the statement said.

#2 Arise, Lemuria/MU, Arise - perhaps its due to the solar actvities from yesterday, i.e. "flicks of visible solar "fire" around the edge of the Sun. Heavy gravity vs "normal gravity. Madonna's Daddy's cholesterol, etal. must be up. |

#1 There is another big quake coming. This time, though, they will be on their own. No outpouring of donations from the west will happen this time. Just a quiet "bye bye". |
