There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

About 4 events before the big one hit. Everything after has been mostly in the 5 to 5.5 range.
And now just in. A bigger one off the coast of Japan.

Quite often when you get a big one on the 'Ring of Fire' it will trigger another one somewhere else a few days later as the pressures on the plates try to stabilize. I would expect at least one more in an effort to stabilize this 2nd quake. The 'ripple effect' can go on for years too!
I've had a few of those after eating curries (ring of fire that is)!
