The quake struck Thursday night near the Southeast Asian country's borders with Thailand and Laos, about 110 kilometres from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai. The U.S. Geological Survey says it struck at a depth of 230 kilometres -- exceptionally deep. But it could be felt as far away as Bangkok, where buildings swayed. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says it was located too far inland to generate a destructive wave.

Its normal that everything is shifting, and one shift causes others to do so if its a certain plate. Just now that everything is moving.

Any news on the damage? @faze yer overestimated the exponential scale that the richter scale is. Haiti was magnitude 7.

[QUOTE=conman420;28782237]Not really that strong.[/QUOTE] That's a relative statement.

[QUOTE=faze;28782223]Yep, I read on CNN yesterday that doomsday shelter sales were up 1000%, not sure how they got that percentage, but it's proof enough that people are pulling out the tinfoil hats.[/QUOTE] Ya. The world shifted this much in the past, look at Pangaea and all that. Japan is now a little bit closer to America, while other countries are shifting as well. If there was indeed a major change, we would still be around as we survived the last major change thousands of years ago. And the 2012 people will probably wind up killing themselves...

Apparently it was two magnitude 7... (BBC news)

Didn't the Russians predict this earthquake like a week ago?

Hey, if the world ends, I won't be cowering in my basement I'll be throwing a fuckin party. Why not die drunk am I right?

Just normal, really, ever since the Haiti quake people got all paranoid and started noticing quakes that happen more even though thinking its getting worse, even though its always been the same. The paranoia after Haiti died a little, and since Japans it'll spike again. Nothing to see here. [QUOTE=Robber;28782436]Didn't the Russians predict this earthquake like a week ago?[/QUOTE] No, it was said a single russian predicted an american megaquake. A SINGLE, meaning a fraud.

"A U.S. monitoring agency" it's HAARP I'm telling you

Not to mention they predicted a series of quakes after the one in Japan.

Here's hoping all the 2012 folks kill themselves without bothering anyone else.

End is Nigh Massive orgy party in my basement, details to come. NO fat chicks, NO circlejerking or sausagefest. Only I'm invited with as many of your women as possible.

I'm pretty sure the four horsemen aren't going to be too troubled polishing off an underground bedroom after they've blown up the world.

Wasn't there a massive load of quakes last year?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;28783295]Wasn't there a massive load of quakes last year?[/QUOTE] There are quakes every few minutes...
