There's been a fair number of large quakes around there in the last six months.

Also can we cut back on the [breaking] titles? It's not breaking in 20 minutes and you can't go back tomorrow and remove it.

To be honest there haven't been that many, no more than average any way. There wasn't a even single magnitude 8+ for the whole of 2016

I think there are people who would be much more affected than us considering the location...
