Pero 3.8 es tan pequeño

So far, I don't know what, if anything, it means, but twice today, I heard a really disturbing low frequency rumbling sound. It was very pronounced but heard and not felt. I immediately thought earth quake somewhere, but haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, and in fact looks kind of quiet for earthquakes today. antipode for my geo would be southwest of Australia in the ocean. The sound was about like distance rolling thunder, but of lower frequency (20 to 25 hz range) and without the sense of distance.

Are you sure it wasn't an escola de samba ensaiando para o carnaval?
Ou a turma do vizinho dançando forro....hehehe

Anyway, lucky you Steven A., earthquake or not. Over here we are freezing and getting loads of snow. Would trade places with you in a second.

So I heard a rumor that TPTB, might use haarp to increase earthquake activity

to create a false flag doomsday scenario.

Hi Bamboo,

I never thought of that. The carnaval is only a few weeks away.

As you are complaining of the amount of snow, I am of the amount of sun!

I would love to roll around in the snow for a while and throw snowballs!!

I will have to wait untill I renew my passport.

Best regards,

Steve

Haiti just got hit with a 7.3 earthquake. Seems that section of Earth from NE Brazil to the Carribean are seeing some heightened seismic activity.

Steve_A;

I looked it up before I posted, most dictionaries say Terremoto is the word in both Portuguese and Castellano.

I did 4 years in an English private school in Concepción, Chile as a kid.

I guess they figured reading, writing, and grammar in English and Spanish was enough Portuguese wasn't on the menu.

Terremoto en espanol, terramoto em português, tremblement de terre en Haiti, this time quite a big one. I hate it when nature chastises mainly the poorest of the poors...

Steve A. my passport is ready....let's trade places NOW, please. My old bones can't stand this cold, I sprain at least a muscle a day, shoveling snow, Montreal's snow removal is getting worse every year.
I wasn't made for this...I was born in Goa, my genes are mainly tropical.
So Steve, be a dear, renew your passport asap...Mangoes are ripe e estao esperando por mim.
(oh dear, this fantasy is going too far, I'm actually smelling mangoes)

Um abraço

Olá Fredkc,

Pois é, mas o importante é que aconteceu num lugar que não deve acontecer.

Entre nós dois, no Brasil se fala português e não espanhol, mas valeu a intenção de falar uma idioma estrangeira!

Um abraço,

Steve
