I heard about it yesterday but thought it was bull shiz, but that was not the case. It really happened. Let us discuss this tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaos Pudding Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Where are you getting your sources for the number of dead? CNN doesn't seem to have anything confirmed as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweller of Parables Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I just didn't think something like that would happen to Haiti though...I mean at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 DoP you never know when its gonna happen, all you need is a fault line (existing or new) or a plate boundary and you've got an earthquake. It just happens. The UK gets 200+ Earthquakes a year, 99% below 1 on the richter scale noticible only by the machine looking for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a perception you made there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 There was once a tornado in North London that broke chimneys off houses briefly. No deaths, though. Britain had a really bad hurricane in 1987 that caused £11 Million of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
