The "New York Earthquake"?

[H]

There goes a national monument.

It's man-made.

In the northeast we also have subsurface earthquakes from settling: sheet boulders overlap and suddenly slip off the edge of another.

Just a normal week in the city for me.

  You know, you would think that the country would think about the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket".

Some areas were completely devastated. :-/

Are you serious? I have and still am living through the 3 Christchurch earthquakes, those photos linked there are by no means devastation. And I know from personal experience

Devastation is when your entire city is shut for 6 months and counting, when 180 people lost their lives, 6,000 homes have to be demolished, with still more coming, half the city was surrounded in crap, when you don't bother getting off the couch for anything under a 5.3, when you can accurately guess the magnitude of the aftershocks by the noise they make before they hit, when I've spent as much time over the last year shoveling sand mixed with other peoples poo than I have doing all of my hobbies put together, and after all this, even the people of Christchurch, a city of only 300,000, still don't believe they've been devastated. 8-)

No, he was not being serious, just the opposite. It is very obvious from the photos that it is sarcastic humor. Earthquakes like the ones in Christchurch are not funny at all and we all feel for the victims.

But the quake today was minor and whoever posted those pictures was making light of the situation. ApplePie was just sharing it with us.

Patchz is correct. By no means was I being serious...I was making fun of some people who were severely overreacting to the quake. Yesterday's earthquake can't even be compared to some of the ones you've experienced in NZ. But you have to admit...there must be billions of dollars lost due to the workforce having to spend extra time straightening picture frames in their houses.

Speaking of quakes, we had two earthquakes yesterday here in San Francisco.  Both under 4.0.  *yawn*
