Costa Rican Earthquake+No Aftershocks=The BIG ONE cometh

i totally agree with you eat...its time to start praying my friend.btw,i love your threads.

The big one cometh my British friend.

Will it be a global killer?

If not it won't be a big one.

Poor west coast....

i would say repent but nobody will listen

we are all going to die... again !

Change the 'p' to an 's' and they will listen.

Anybody know if there are any reports of fissure eruptions anywhere near the area?
If you live from Costa Rica to El Salvador, this could be a problem. While this quake has not produced wide spread damage it is a thrusting or subduction type quake.
To explain, the Cocos plate is pushing in a North Eastern fashion toward Central America. The rub comes in where the Caribbean Plate is also competing for space in the region, thus the Cocos plate is force down and below the Central American countries and below the Caribbean plate.
While this is the strongest quake to strike the region in the past 40 years, it is interesting for zero aftershocks not to have happened.
The El Salvador and the Costa Rican quakes remind me of the activity that took place prior to the Chile quake in 1960 where a 9.5 struck the region.
We can only hope this doesn't happen.
There should not be any effect on the plate structures North of this region so, Mexico and Western North America will be fine.

This is why I postulated a 9.3 magnitude earthquake in another thread.

yes,thats the wisdom departing...

idiocracy is on the rise

Brief Stain will come in here and point his gun at you.....

an 8.6-9.3 Is very possible.

hurricane for RNC and earthquake for DNC?

Yup.

Green Pinned it for you eat! I feel it coming too.

EAT brings the DOOM!

You could finally be right EAT. No aftershocks...could a 7.9 be a pre-quake? Just how big could "the big one" be?

I pray not! All my dad's family are from Costa Rica.

Classic Eat. One star...

I would say go spend time with your love ones before time runs out.

A 7.9 and not one aftershock in over 3 hours now, that's not good at all !!!

I read somewhere in the last hour that there are aftershocks and the person posting was wondering why USGS was not reporting them.

You can leave a continent within hours?!?!

Who are you kidding EAT?

Thread: Monster Magnitude 9.3 EARTHQUAKE within 772 hours...

idiot....

Here comes that unpin!

Yes you can if you're filthy rich and have a private jet.

Which would be those people on GLP.


No wonder everyone dislikes you.

Get a grip man!

They still have 48 hours to experience an aftershock.

Let us hope this isn't just a foreshock.
