1. 2 major earthquakes this morning?

Very distant, but both in North America.

3. The odd thing is that I posted several threads in the Alaska Group this morning

including a story about the two people closest to the magnitude 8.2 earthquake in July. I hope that I didn't jinx the place by posting those threads.

9. That's An Interesting Photograph

If you are indeed in Montana, then how did you take that photograph?
And from where did you obtain those earthquake numbers?
Are you an alien, and did you cause those tremors?
Now, please don't nuke us from your ship in orbit
As we are all just trying to get along down here.

Sadly its really nerve wracking knowing the earth is bubbling under your feet at all times and can strike at any moment!

My reality since November 2018, when in one week we had over 5,000 earthquakes.

17. Yeah, the big ones coming?

Wow on the the image and eeeek!
The year 2022 I think will be historical in quakes like 2021 is in heat and fire it somewhat resembling the end of times but really we need to alleviate the warming and fighting. 🤔
