| #5 You know, you guys are trolling JM. Wait until he says something outrageous before you get snarky. JM's info is valuable here. Guam is on tectonic plates removed from the slip around Indonesia ... suggests that we can expect some more in the way of major quakes in the region. And that has geopolitical implications, folks. Hrmph. |

| #1 Here in Guam I've felt numerous tremors, mostly subtle ones although a few have made certain types of furniture shake noticeably. Have been feeling these since days after the Tsunami, and now again after the new quake. |
