Earth Lurches 11 ft, 2010 Magnitude 7+ Quakes Increasing

We’ve gone from a couple Mag 7 earthquakes every other month to 2-3 per month. I can predict right now that September will have at least three Mag 7+ quakes. Before the end of the year, not a week will go by without a Mag 7+ quake.

In a sane world, CERN would be shut down right after that. In our world, the CERNiacs will continue to insist that everything is okay and the politicians will play along. They will blast a hole in the Pacific Ocean where New Zealand used to be before they admit to a mistake of this enormity.

Not that it really matters in the Really Big Picture. The black holes being created now are trivial in comparison to the size of the cumulative black hole already eating at the center of the Earth.

You know how everybody is talking about December 21, 2012? I hope we have that long. The timeline is not encouraging.

This is great for stress junkies.  Keep an eye on this map. But is it true? I checked against the USGS quake news.  He left out a few in July, so the graph is a bit different, but the trend does seem to be there.  I'd have to look back over several years to see if this is unusual, however.



I'm glad I got my girlfriend to move out of San Francisco this weekend.



The magnitude 7.1 quake on Friday night in New Zealand was larger than the one that killed 200,000 people in Haiti this year and appeared to have opened a new fault line.




Mark Quigley, a geology professor leading a team investigating the cause of the quake, said: "One side of the earth has lurched to the right."


“Up to 11 feet in some places has been thrust up. The long linear fracture on the earth’s surface does things like break apart houses, break apart roads.

"We went and saw two houses that were completely snapped in half by the earthquake.”

Much of the centre of Christchurch remained sealed off and under curfew for a second night on Sunday.

Good time to have get your earthquake kit together. Food, water, first aid kit, radio, plans with your family, jack for lifting heavy objects, overnight back packed and ready to grab and go, etc. ;-)

CERN-o-phobic, where were you when we were plotting earthquakes?

I wonder if HAARP has something to do with this...
