*** BREAKING: 6.9 Magnitude Quake Rocks India and Nepal

They keep coming these quakes.

Isn´t it time to conclude that something is going on?

Terra is waking up

A report from NewsX - India:

There has been a large rock displacement which could cause another even bigger quake in the near future according to this geophysical report:

Ground beneath Kanchenjunga slips south, alarm bells ring for Bengal

New Delhi, Sept. 18: A behemoth chunk of rock about 20km beneath the mountains around Kanchenjunga lurched southward today in the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that scientists say should stir the Bengal and Sikkim governments into a state of high alert.

The first and preliminary analysis of the mechanisms underlying the earthquake near the Sikkim-Nepal border suggests that the western edge of Sikkim had slipped southward relative to Nepal during the earthquake, geophysicists and seismologists said.

The first earthquake was followed by two smaller 4.8 and 4.6 magnitude earthquakes on the eastern side of the main event in a pattern that points to additional build-up of strain in subterranean rocks across Sikkim, three scientists tracking the events said.

“The movement of rock associated with the 6.9 event on the western side of Sikkim is likely to have caused a pile-up of strain towards its east leading to the two subsequent events," said Supriyo Mitra, a seismologist at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Calcutta. “In a region where strain has accumulated for years, the 6.9 event was a trigger for the next two,” Mitra told The Telegraph.

Geophysicists say the two smaller earthquakes would not have released the enormous strain that has accumulated in the region. “The two (smaller) quakes were like peanuts,” said Vinod Gaur, a geophysicist at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore.

it really has begun

Yes

but please do not be afraid - there is no need

You are awfully late here, we had a pinned thread all day.

Yup... but welcome to the party!

Welllll whooopddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dooooooooooo. Thank you for pointing that out. We all could not have lived without you so graciously point that out. Ditz

wow brother, chill out!

are the changes getting to ya?

If this was pinned all day I apologize, I did not see it.

In fact I still do not see it.

Stange how we get desensitized by all the quakes and not even notice it as news anymore.

I can imagine to people in India it is big news.

There is change all around and in us.

I can feel it.

Just last week had email conversation with my friend in Kathmandu telling her about the 6.4 quake we felt where I am on Vancouver Island.

Now I'm trying to reach her to make sure her and her family are okay in Kathmandu where the 6.8 was felt quite strongly. FAR FAR more strongly than in Canada unfortunately... :(

The point is, it's not 'BREAKING'.. so why put that in your thread title? 'Breaking' means it's happened in the last couple of minutes.

HOW ABOUT YOU USE THE SEARCH FIRST

Nibiru Is Nearing

Where is that thread??!!!??

What happened with the India quake, while I was at work today>?>?!!!!?

Thread: 6.9 mag India

Thread: 6.9 mag India

It came in through nytimes feed.

At the time I posted it, the news was 12 minutes old.

Now I see why I could not find it, thanks.

So, never mind.

Isn't this basically the same area where the Arks were built and loaded from in 2012? Just sayin'...
