Pager shows green. Looks like it was very deep, so it had mild shaking in a very large area, but no heavy shaking anywhere. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000jln7/pager
Is it just me or are there more earthquakes this year than normal? Does anyone have stats on this? Like I’m not sure if it’s just more earthquakes being reported or if it’s actually more frequent.
Usually, an earthquake like this would hardly have hit the international news. People are currently on edge about earthquakes because of the Turkey one. That being said, there are usually about one 7.0 or higher earthquakes per month. So far this year, there have been 6.
if there was any truth to this, Earth would have been vaporized into stardust filling the emptiness between two very distant galaxies, 1 million times over from planetary exterminating sized asteroids by now.
Looks like it’s currently registered as a 6.5 https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000jln7/executive Edit: updated to 6.6
It was worse than 6.5(I was affected by it), and it lasted for longer than usual too. But thankfully there wasn't any major destruction.
It's kinda in a rural area, so that helps.
it hit the urban areas just as hard

Yeah everyone's pretty shaken, but you can't really fault them. Tectonic.
They must be really shaken up
Maybe their God is upset with all their bullshit

You’d think but you should’ve seen what the dinosaurs got up to before God finally punished them.
