[Updated at 10:39 a.m. ET] The U.S. Geological Survey has revised downward the magnitude of Thursday morning's earthquake off Cuba to magnitude 5.1 from magnitude 6.0.
[Updated at 5:20 a.m. ET] A magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit off the southeastern coast of Cuba early Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was centered 77 miles north of Montego Bay, Jamaica, and 370 miles southeast of Havana, Cuba. It hit at 4:43 a.m.
Forty-three minutes earlier, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake rumbled off the east coast of Japan, the USGS reported. No tsunami warning was issued.
Both quakes were shallow, striking at a depth of six miles.
And seven minutes before the Japan quake, a magnitude 6.0 quake was recorded off the coast of New Zealand, according to the USGS.
Holy crap! All in a small time frame. This has been just one fun year.
The END is near.
Oh lord, here come the chicken little's out of the woodwork.
Now we're gonna have people claiming this is the beginning of the end ... hah
No its just the end of the beginning
And there is much more to come
You can actually correlate Gamma-ray Burst Real-time Sky Map with dates of earthquakes. I'm actually surprised nobody has considered it before. Who knows..
AHHHHHH!!!!!!
Mother nature woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I wonder if this has ever been recorded before.
Biblical prophecy at its best!
JESUS is soon to return. We need to be ready.
Honestly? Do you really think that, if he exists, that the situation today is worse than it was 65, 200, 500 years ago. Yes, the atrocities committed by humans today are evil/bad, but are they really on a Holocaust, Slave Trade, or a Crusades level? Pull your head out of your @$$ and read a history book.
....Can I hit you?
I LIKE TURTLES!
MY personal opinion... These quakes are happening more and more and in different areas.. I beleive these quakes are just a warning sign of whats to come.. The biggest earth quake man has never felt before.. 🙂
Yeah – the quake in my pants.
Yes, an 8.8 felt world wide
@ Marc... An 8.8! I'm happy if my quake reaches a paultry magnitude of 4.5!
They haven't been happening more and more. Media has just been covering them more and more.
boooooommmmmm!!!!
?
I wonder if there's any relation to other climate change. Used to have how many million tons of ice up at the caps, which has no melted? That has to shift strain on the Earth's crust.
GOD IS COMING SO EVERYONE SHOULD BE READY WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS...........
I thought it was Jesus who was coming – it is unacceptable to change plans like this on such short notice.
@ Breakfast Discloser & melissa...
I'm so confused. So one of you said God is comming and the other said Jesus is comming... Aren't they supposed to be chaste? Are they both comming together? Isn't that a sin too?
And short notice? You would think that since they are all powerful they wouldn't have problems with pre-mature e jack ulation...
Just saying.
GOD IS COMING SO EVERYONE LOOK BUSY!
I am going to have pancakes – maybe with a little maple syrup. Occasionally I like to put huckleberries in the pancakes – if the huckleberries are too tart I add a dusting of powdered sugar.
Thank you!!
You are clearly not ready for the end of the world if you haven't eaten pancakes with NUTELLA.
That sucks! I have a nut allergy! I'll never be ready!!!
i also felt a small one in Orange county it woke up a fue of my friends
Earthquake In southern california about 5 min ago!
I think its just the earth getting older and everything changes with age. And as for your pancakes, you should try Dingleberries! They're much tastier! Lol!
Dingle-berries are for when Uranus is below a harvest moon. Though your cleverness is blinding – does your mom know you are using her computer?
lol... Dingleberries and NUTella. (giggles)
On a much more important matter, Nutella on ANYTHING is awesome!
