I had not heard that the epicenter was the town. It's such a small island; I would have thought that the Dominican Republic (thanks for the correction) would have had more than a little shaking even though they're on the other side of the mountain. /BAH

Can you give us an example where anything you've ever had to offer had actual value or meaning outside of just parrot talk. Apparently you don't know squat about tectonic plates either, though pretending is so much fun. An earthquake can be a horrific 9 on one side of the line and merely a mild 6 on the other side that's just a few miles away, and by all means it should help that isolation by having a mountain of mass in between. How much did Haiti near ground zero rise or fall? ~ BG |
