Another quake and 2 M class flares went off. So maybe more.

When I said another quake I didn't mean right away. But we got another one in the South Pacific Ridge magnitude 6.0, this one above now listed at 6.8 but they change things. That was really quick. I am surprised and dizzy. Both in the vertical manner and in the manner of how can things be speeding up and slowing down at the same time? How can that be? I am dizzy...
