Mexico Earthquake

[Larisa]

@MaryMary
I would also very much like to hear how you sing!
It is so beautiful! I always like to see when someone sings, dances or paints ... It always creates a good mood.

Here in Moscow you can do it even on the street.
Or in the subway.

My youtube singing makes Bev cry

Only that one song and if i cry it doesn't mean i don't like your singing. And come to think of it has been awhile and it would be nice if you did another.one

Now we just have to badger @MaryMary until she does at least one.

An aftershock is usually within a couple days, but can come up to a month after a major quake.

There were 2000 aftershocks the night after the Loma Prieta earthquake in San Francisco gave us a 7.1 in l989, when the marina district burned, the nimitz freeway pancaked, and a portion of the Bay Bridge fell into the water Everyone was on edge for a long time.

I tended bar for 10 years, Beverly.

I'm probably immune to badgering by now!!

Oh yes, it is just one thing after another somewhere in Mexico, but actually during hurricane and tropical storm season this is hardly newsworthy and i was surprised to see it written up. While i have never seen fish falling down with the rain, it is not uncommon for little frogs and tadpoles to do so. Did you hear about the large rafts of red ants floating in the water off the Carolina coast during one of their more recent hurricanes?

 

[zigs]

Just hope my van don't start floating then, the red ants will be in with me

 

[Beverly]

@zigs i think the way it works is that the red ants build a raft (of red ants i think) under your van, carry it to the water and set sail so they will not be in your van but under it. When they reach land they will haul you and your van up and build another nest under the hitch. God knows where you will end up...better secure the van to Boris so it will be more difficult for them to haul away. Maybe you will end up on the Mexico coast and get hit in the head with a fish or 3 or 4

 

[marlingardener]

Gee, we have fire ants--couldn't they do a raft and haul Zigs to central Texas? We'd do everything we could to make Zigs welcome and to eradicate the fire ants.
No fish falling from the sky here--also no rain.

We did have a tsunami here once, i'll get a pic of the debris next time i'm down the coast

 

[Beverly]

A tsunami @zigs ? Was it earthquake generated? and where was the quake? Does any of the debris have hints as to where it might have originated?
