more earthquakes!!

To quote Jerry Lee Lewis, "A whole lotta shaking going on!" Mom's flexing Her muscles. Go, MOM, GO!!

Wheee! New Zealand 7.4

Now hopefully the preliminary report is correct in saying there were no injuries. But, with collapsed buildings you pretty much know that's unlikely to be the case.

ETA: The Indonesian volcano blew again earlier today, as well.

650 total in the past week, usually it's between 800-900, if not over 1000.
