Tsunami sirens are one thing I wouldn't want to hear. The whole bay here experienced a big tsunami about 500 years ago, estimated to be between 15-35 metres/45-100 ft high. No place in town is higher than 6 metres - makes me glad I live on a hill.

Nope lol. Still more than any non-Floridian poster on here though luckily Puerto Rico just skirts the hurricane belt, unlike Florida which is the bullseye

Melbourne had 2 tremors in the last week. Both only about 2.5 but interesting nonetheless and this instability could lead to something bigger.

One scenario that could potentially happen is a massive underwater earthquake in/around NZ, as the country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian plates, which could send Tsunamis racing toward Australia.

I feel like drinking beer to forget about the snow...

Classes have been canceled at Rutgers due to heavy snow in our area. Accumulations closing in on half a foot.

No school OR work tomorrow. Going to spend a nice, frigid day snowed in!

[dunno what to put here]

It's snowing.
