3.6 is no earthquake

The British has got nothing else to report?

When people are unable to walk much less run and afraid even to remain standing up for fear of losing balance because the ground literally is felt moving to all directions then we're talking earthquake.

Tremor is no earthquake.

Perhaps it was "someone" who lost a few beers, as examples, and it caused the resurrection,

3.6! Jim drops one after a curry and a few pints and it gets reported as an earthquake? Whatever next?

Umm what do you mean I don't think I get you

you mean drank a few beers thought dead but woke up in hungover the next morning and called resurrected from death? but what does it have to do with earthquake?

Earthquake must be in the 5 to 6 order of magnitude at the minimum in order to be worth reporting.

Well for one earthquakes are natural occurrences which people categorized into one of so many natural disasters.

No one in the right mind would claim that earthquake as God's own deed UNLESS that person knows something that the rest don't but the odds would be so small. The way I know it besides a few earthquakes that resulted from the underground Chinese church prayer in times of severe need(even that were local, I mean really local earthquake if I may guess that harmed nobody just scaring away people intending harm), the rest are all natural occurrences. Sure God can make anything happens including earthquake if He wishes so but He just will not.....I know it for sure He will not harm nor excite His followers by killing or harming people especially by way of making earthquake. God is just too strict to do that. I mean if I were God I would rise 3 physical suns of different colors just for the heck of it ...for fun and while doing it making people panic and bewildering the scientists....That would be fun LOL. It's okay to make that to happen 5 days in a year. I mean the excitement! But no God chose to be regular and boring and discreet instead.

Anyway earthquakes are natural occurrences for most part. A reminder that we are very vulnerable and still at the mercy of nature lest we forget.

Of course there are people who suspect it was HAARP which seemed always missed. . .pfft.

Yes we know, this was more meant as a joke that "someone" drop something, of course, earthquakes are much stronger.

Silly Brits. HAARP guns are for Yanks.
