Why no one is discussing this is alarming.

    I read that geologists and seismologists said yesterday that the two earthquakes are completely unrelated.... :confused:

    I combined the two, not the seismologists, but the second article will touch on that too.

    Is your concern that donations aren't being gathered up due to lack of attention? I have noticed that TV news coverage on my local channels is really light on it (I don't get any US news networks so can't comment on that), maybe because of the Hurricane Maria. I can't say I know why .... perhaps because the places with all the hurricane damage are way more fucked, despite more deaths in Mexico? I don't know.

    My thoughts too.  Little coverage here also.  Once a tropical storm pops up that's all I hear about.

    I'll be vigilant with this topic and when donations are needed I will share a link.

    Guess we are going to need to build a stronger wall.


    Anyhow - I cannot even imagine how awful it is to be buried under concrete/etc.  It is such an terrible thing to go through.  I wish the best for all and hope those that experience loss find peace.  Sad.

    Same here- minimal coverage and this is California for cryin' out loud.

    I was just watching CNN and it's non stop of 3 topics: Robert Mueller, Hurricanes, and Mexico. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    I have a FB friend who is posting memes about the hurricanes and quakes being caused by HAARP.
