Isn't Earthquake happens just about every minute or so from all over the world? Crazy.

we average 80,000 quakes per month

Never felt earthquake before. Funny, I was living in a small town one time and many of my friends swear they felt a small earthquake in the morning, I think. I must've missed that small earthquake at that time.

We've had a few small quakes here in Ma. over the years. Most of the time there is not much to feel, but there is usually a loud bang.

I think an 8.0 is bad no matter where it is.

I've always wondered if there's a huge badaxx earthquake on other exo-planets? Yeah, I wanna know.
