Surf’s Up

If dodging aliens hiding in suspicious Japanese clouds isn’t enough, scientists now believe Australia has a massive super ocean sink hole which could cause catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis. Goddammit does that mean I have to hang my washing up higher? The so called “tear” in the sea bed is 7 km deep and just north of Australia. Scientists are now calling it the biggest fault on the planet. …nice one.

Prays For Nepal

Thoughts and prayers to the people of Nepal and to the 300 or so Australians still unaccounted for following the earthquake on Saturday.

Uber Earthquake Hits Chile

A tsunami warning has been declared along the coast of Chile after a 8.3 earthquake struck  95km west of Iquique, a little while ago.

Oarfish Spell Doom

OK, no need to panic good people of California but you might want to grab some hard hats and stock your pantry. Seems those darn oarfish are beaching themselves in Southern California and you know what that means …..earthquake!!!! Yep, same thing happened in Japan shortly before that big shaker caused the uber tsunami that sent the Fukushima nuclear plant into meltdown … just saying. Sleep with one eye open.

Did North Korea Just Complete a Nuclear Test?

WTF!!!

When South Korea rattles from a 4.9 magnitude quake the world friggin panics . Seems everyone is questioning whether the quake was set off by North Korea messing with nuclear bombs. Damn you Mayans and damn you double, Kim Jong Un!!!!

Jailhouse Rock

It’s a bitch being a scientist in Italy. An Italian court has sentenced 6 of them (plus a government official) to 6 years jail for failing to predict the L’Aquila earthquake of 2009 which killed 300 people. The group were all members of the National Commission for the Forecast and Prevention of Major Risks whose job it was to keep an eye on earthquake dangers and keep the city informed. Sheez, who knew those low level tremors would lead to a  6.3 shaker. Anywho, on the bright side I hear there are 7 new positions vacant.

Want sauce with that?

Tectonic Plate is Breaking Up

No need to panic just quite yet but remember that 8.7 earthquake in Indonesia in April? Hmm, yeah well, evidently it was so friggin enormous it’s  gone and ruptured four faults in the heart of the Indo-Australian plate. Bottom line, there’s probably gonna a be a whole lot more shaking going on down under and I’m not talking in a good way!!!! Damn you Mayans!!!
