Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So cool!!!!!!

They roll off Western Africa like its an assembly line.

G, you are sooooo sweet. Thanks again.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

S, can you think of who I missed. What is our friends name from Poland?

Poland is Pillar...I know we have an AC from Switzerland who is a regular and also an AC from Hong Kong who has been around for a while with us. An AC from Mexico usually posts here when they have a quake long before it shows up on EMSC or USGS. He/she must be one of the ones you mentioned above.

I'm sure I'm missing some too, and apologize if I have!

It definitely is really cool to have people from all over the globe checking in. I love the people who post here. AC's very much included.

Gov't to require earthquake-proof designs for smaller buildings

SEOUL, Sept. 20 (Yonhap) -- All new buildings in South Korea that are higher than one story will be required to be earthquake-resistant from next year, while those with 16 floors or more must have their earthquake-proof designs verified, the government said Tuesday.

The measure was set following a 5.8-magnitude earthquake that hit the nation's southeastern region on Sept. 12, the most powerful tremor to be recorded here, and the nearly 400 aftershocks since. The region was again struck by an aftershock measuring magnitude 4.5 on Monday night.

No apology required as you and your team have more than enough to deal with. I do read this thread daily and I like to pop in infrequently to leave a post of gratitude for you and your core team for the majorly impressive work everyone does in this thread.

Yes, I was Littlepixie but felt the need to counteract the number of posters that had added deplorable to their names, hence AdorableLittlepixie.

May your surgery and recovery be a breeze. Take all the time you need to rest, this thread is the best and will survive better than the rest.

Awe yes! Littlepixie too! Thank you for the kind words my friend. : )

It's good they're being proactive about it. Better safe than sorry with earthquakes.

I'm gonna admit I'm watching the second half of that Jon Benet Ramsey special on cbs right now. First half was last night. I have to say it's fascinating! They have this group of experts (in every possible area-forensics, linguistics, child crimes...) who basically have gone over the entire case with a fine tooth comb. It's so interesting. I gather they don't point the finger at the end-they want to just present the facts snd let them speak for themselves, but the way things are going they might not have to anyway.

:sw_always:

Yeah. But out of tragedy, comes triumph. What is rebuilt will be better.

Don't have tv so can't watch but I always had suspicions her brother did it out of jealousy...idk.

Yep that's pretty much it. And then an elaborate cover up by the parents.What they were able to do in some of their investigating was quite cool. And I saw footage and learned details I never knew of before. Like the extensive cover up on behalf of the D.A. as well. There was so much fuckedupness about it all. I'm glad I watched it. It's nice to have some closure!
