I think something underground it's working itself up, and it's pretty scary as we live on an earthqueak fault. I blame it all on global warming. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Nah Sue, its just what the earth does naturally. If we didn't have earthquakes then none of us would be alive, the undersea volcanos are just letting off the pressure on the earth and so causes earthquakes, there's a very interesting programe on BBC here called The Power of the Planet, explains all this and more! I can't understand why Cities and towns are built on earthquake faults, and likewise I cant understand why they are built on flood planes either, take Cambridge here in the UK.for example....if the seas rise it will be flooded, then I would be a lot nearer to the coast! lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Well I wish the earth would do it's bit a little further away, i don't want to be buried underneath the Nevada desert. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
