Resister User ID: 625292 United States 02/27/2010 11:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 6.3 in Argentina [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Hillcrest User ID: 392015 United States 02/27/2010 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Believe or not CNN just called this quake an 'after shock' of the one in Chile. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 715509but it happened hundreds of miles away from the 8.8!!!! that's like having a 8.8 in L.A. and calling a 6'er in San Fran an aftershock... can this happen? do we have any geologists reading this that want to comment on this? Water always wins. :sun: |

My thoughts also, but hey, it was said on CNN... How the hell can we really get reliable information about anything any more there is just so much noise a decent informational signal is nearly completely lost in the noise. |
