More than 275,950 deaths have been reported from the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26. The total death toll for earthquakes in 2004 was 276,856; less than 1,000 casualties were reported around the world prior to the Indian Ocean event. The magnitude 9.0 that hit Banda Aceh, Indonesia, is not the only great (magnitude 8.0 or higher) earthquake that occurred during 2004; a magnitude 8.1 earthquake hit north of Macquarie Island (about one thousand miles southwest of New Zealand) three days before the Indian Ocean quake and tsunami, but no deaths were reported. Prior to the Macquarie Islands’ earthquake, the last great earthquake was a magnitude 8.3 in Hokkaido, Japan, in September of 2003. The loss of life from earthquakes and related tsunamis in 2004 far exceeded that of recent years. In 2003, 33,819 deaths occurred; about 31,000 of these resulted from the Dec. 26, 2003 magnitude 6.6 earthquake that struck Bam, Iran. In 2002, 1711 people died as a result of earthquakes.

I guess we don´t have to worry about New Madrid coming unglued anyway because we´re all going to be dead from mutated bird dog flu before that happens. Or did we stop the bird dog flu with our insane bomb test to alter the jet stream. We just got done saving the planet by launching tens of thousands of missiles and blowing up an incoming asteroid. Why would we let new Madrid cut loose when our evil dragon masters are just getting ready invade south America and go for all out war in the middle east? We´re havin too much fun. |

If each year got progressively deadlier as a result of earthquakes, *then* you´d have something to be concerned about. |
