Did the ground move 4 you

A rare, powerful earthquake struck Morocco, sending people racing from their beds into the streets and toppling buildings in mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force.


More than 1,000 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled to reach hard-hit remote areas where the dead were buried even as desperate efforts were underway to save those trapped.


The magnitude-6.8 quake, the biggest to hit the North African country in 120 years, sent people fleeing their homes in terror and disbelief. One man said dishes and wall hangings began raining down, and people were knocked off their feet. The enormity of the destruction came into view in the daylight.


The quake brought down walls made from stone and masonry not constructed to endure quakes, covering whole communities with rubble and leaving residents picking their way precariously through remains.

A tent typically used for celebrations was erected for shelter in the center of the impoverished mountain community of Moulay Brahim, where homes made of clay and brick were largely left uninhabitable. Fathers sobbed into phones telling loved ones about losing their children. Bodies covered with blankets lay in the health centre next to a mosque as doctors pulled shards from people’s feet and treated surface wounds.


“There’s nothing to do but pray,” said Hamza Lamghani, who lost five of his closest friends.

Yes pray to a God that sent the earthquake and killed thousands

I've just checked your profile, you're an atheist confused

Anyhow, watched the quake on the news...
very sad sad flower
Yes I am

So my belief is that praying to an all powerful being would be a total waste of time and effort because this all powerful supposed being will have already decided the fate of everyone
Another man-made disaster. doh

No, I didn't feel anything moving where I live, but southern Spain and Portugal did!
Doesn't matter to me either way, I just never realised you were till now conversing

I grew up hearing the same, so unless our fate means death rather than how we'll reach our final destination ,its not wrong.. otherwise I'd be inclined to think like you, praying to be saved or spared would be a waste of time.

It's a complicating life we're living, with Christians & Atheists complicating all the more ...
or sometimes so it seems wine
Well Dani, I'm impressed roll eyes

Nice seeing you defending God for a change handshake

Now tell me, why haven't you replied to me on Han's blog?
perhaps its a thing, you're out of blueberries & nuts laugh

Not that I'm implying I'm spooky or stressful either for that matter uncertain

Just asking is all wink
Hiya Itchy girl wave

I wasn't defending "god" (as you know, I am a non believer)
But was saying it was "man-made", meaning that "somebody/something" made it happen and it was provoked.

Same as the wild fires!


What Han's blog, Itchy? Should i have commented?
dunno

Note.. I have plenty of blueberries. wink do you think I need them?

Considering moving plates that possibly caused the earthquake are about 125k underground who are you going to blame.dunno
Just watching the news and seeing countries rushing to help Morocco .

Pity we couldn't all pull together in general instead of warmongering.sad flower

All part of the plan.

Did I miss anything?

dunno
Yes, you haven't told me how man was involved in natural disasters such as earthquakes ,floods and volcanic eruptions. Do tell.handshake
I need to hear this one too.

confused
When I said "man", I meant machines controlled by man, or AI.

Oh I see , just like someone pressing a red button and causing a nuclear war.

So far A.I is able to detect these incidents but hopefully not cause them.

I live , but not in fear. Que sera sera as they say as not a lot I can do about the madmen that are taking over the world and destroying my peace.handshake
So incredibly sad..sad flower
Yet another disaster hits the World.

At least 2,000 dead and 10,000 believed missing in Libya as ‘catastrophic’ flooding breaks dams and sweeps away homes.sad flower
I know you don't Dani, I was only jig acting with you hug
room for improvement within us all LOL.

But I'd be more inclined to go with something more so, someone dunno

First no one follow DUTCHSINSE on YOUTUBE?
He fairly accurately predicts Earthquakes using fault lines and pressures from deep within the Earth.
Second in STATE OF FEAR Crichton had Green movement people use CAVITATION to create an earthquake.
Well they were mostly stopped.

Microscale cavitation as a mechanism for nucleating earthquakes at the base of the seismogenic zone

Third the US actually blocked aid to Syria when they had their recent earthquake.
I'm done edumacating.
Read up on this crap.



teddybear
Cavitation not DEW.

Some people were trying to lay a bit of blame at France, NATO and the US doorstep for the flooding part of the disaster, they say the city of Derna's infrastructure was never going to hold up due to damage sustained from the ousting of Gaddafi in 2011.. (delibrate damage caused by the western forces)

The puppet western govt had not rebuild infrastructure to the high standard Gaddafi had it at...
As a matter of fact eYe did feel the earth shimy shake
