I don't is it? I never really followed earthquakes but it seems to be more in the news lately.
More in the news lately.

In the news.


Just because something's being reported on more often doesn't mean it's happening more often. It just means it's being reported more often.

If a squirrel farts in Malaysia, I could read about it on Twitter within seconds of it occurring. Loads of information is available to us, at a level that is utterly unprecedented for our species. Things we didn't know were common are coming to light.


My own theory: Raptor Jesus is spinning in his grave, located at the center of the planet. It's causing the core to spin wildly, which is generating disruptions in the magneto-spacetime curvature around Earth. This is focusing the radiation in the Van Allen Belts, which is causing movement in the iron in Earth's crust.
It all makes perfect sense.

There have been only two East coast USA quakes this strong in the last 100 years.
I can remember when the Appalachians mountains were just starting up over 480 million ago, and much stronger quakes were a daily event.

Who says things are not getting better?

"it's in the news because the media plays lip service to end of the-worlders these days, because they have somehow made themselves loud enough by hijacking a major political party.

it is all very, very normal. yet idiots would use this to say that god is angry with us b/c of the economy."

Idiots would say it's in the news because the media plays lip service to end-of-days types.

A 5.9 quake on the east coast - felt by millions of people over hundreds of miles - is news, period.

The crap you inserted about the media and political parties - it's all just food for talk show morons.
