Good building codes help.

Yes. And they have found a lot of solutions to, like rubber buffers under buildings etc etc.

There was one in Oklahoma yesterday, too. A 4.something, not devastating to be sure but scary nonetheless. Bible prophecy come to life.

So scarey, too many of these happening all the time, i feel so bad for those poor people, did you know we had Tsunami warnings here in NZ, and some stupid people go down the beach to watch, i mean to say, how dumb is that.

Prayers for those poor people and those who have lost their loved ones.

Yeah, sort of sounds like all those people who head towards a volcano with cameras as soon as they hear it's about to erupt.
They've no idea.

I read about Yellowstone not long ago, they reckon that place is going to be a real whammer if it ever goes up.

they are just too darn complacent here, think it will never happen, silly people.

The Los Angeles County Urban Rescue Team just got back from Haiti.
Yesterday, they packed up and are ready to roll on towards Chile, should they be needed.

There's not enough money to pay those guys what they deserve.

Has anyone noticed the looting that people are doing in Chile?

I was surprised that the "lawlessness" predicted in Haiti never materialized, yet a 'richer' area ends up going to heck iin a handbasket way faster?

I mentioned this very same thing to my DIL last night. A couple of days without food and necessities in Chile, and they loot everything in sight, yet those poor people in Haiti went thru hell to get what little bit they finally got after what? - nearly a week? - and even longer!!?? The looting there was almost non-existent.
