As you all know (or should know) from reading Friday's breaking news entry in TWIT, we had an earthquake Friday morning here in the 'Ville. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, unfortunatly the weatherazzi can't give out any advance warnings of earthquakes. So I guess we're just on our own when it comes to quakes.
In doing some research on earthquakes tonight, I came across an interesting website that could be helpful. While it can't give warning of any pending earthquakes, it can give us up-to-the-minute info of where and when an earthquake happened. Visit http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php and check it out. I was truly amazed that so many earthquakes happen. After reading it, I'm glad I don't live in the Alleutian Islands in Alaska, where it seems most of the earthquakes occur.
