[quote]LIMA, Peru -- A strong but deep earthquake shook a sparsely populated northern jungle region on Wednesday near Brazil's border. There were no reports of damage or injuries.
The quake had a magnitude of 7.0 and was centered 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of the jungle city of Pucallpa, said Peru's Geophysical Institute and the U.S. Geological Survey.
It was felt mildly in the capital, Lima. But in Pucallpa, buildings shook, trees swayed, and people headed out into the street. The agencies said the quake struck at 12:46 p.m. local time (1:46 p.m. EDT; 1746 GMT), centered 90 miles (145 kilometers) underground. The deeper the quake, the less it is likely to cause damage.
An unidentified local woman interviewed by Peru's Canal N television station said the earth swayed "like a hammock."
"A great rattling" is how Pucallpa police official Angela Romero described it.
She said people moved calmly into the street.
A police spokesman in the Brazilian town of Cruzeiro do Sul, about 135 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Pucallpa, said the quake hit hard and buildings trembled. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to comment publicly.
An official of Peru's Institute of Geophysics said that because of its depth, the quake only felt like a 5-magnitude quake to Pucallpa's residents. The official was not allowed to be identified by name.
Peru is among the world's most seismically active countries.[/quote]

I still don't believe in it.... But with the economic crisis, revolutions and earthquakes... I'm sort of getting a slight sweat drop.
So many earthquakes, major crust shifting, watch out for volcanos as well
This has been a really interesting week.

But c'mon, there's a tiny grain of sand of doubt in your head too.
Peru has quakes of this magnitude every 3-4 years, really not that surprising
I was surprised until I saw it was Peru.

Not even a little.
You should really get the sand out of your brain.

There hasn't been a single point in history so far where it hasn't been getting closer to 2012.
I personally don't believe in that 2012 shit, but it's funny watching my friends freak out about this sort of stuff, especially the ones that think "Obama is the antichrist world ends 2012!!!"

if shit just started getting bad in the past few years, why has the concept of "news" been around for millennia

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31930314]Guys, if an asteroid that big were to be coming to Earth, don't you think we'd be able to see it?[/QUOTE]
It has a cloaking device.

Literally infinite amount of directions to keep a look from and there actually aren't that many telescopes keeping an eye out in each of those infinite directions.
So surprisingly, most likely not.
right after the 5.9 in virginia, shit man what if another one hits
one did hit :ooo

And 2013 will be going away from 2012.
Hey Mother Nature.
Yes, you. Who the fuck else do you think I am talking to? Jesus?
You're fucking with the wrong part of the world. Shake that thing (Juan De Fuca) like there's no tomorrow so we can really see what you got ya slut.
Guys. Earthquakes are connected to volcanoes. If anyone is near Peru and there is a probably not that dormant volcano... You can panic now :v:
