Haitians, Hispaniola is on a fault line. It's not Haarp, barric gold, nor the metro. Stop being so superstitious and work on salient plan on how to get your country out of its mess

Thank you, I have just proven Poe's Law which states:

"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing."

"It’s the third moderate tremor in as many days in the country’s south-central region, ......"?

I thought the first one was in the North East near Miches. Seems I've missed a quake. But then again, at my age, I miss a lot of things.

Roy,

So, what you're saying is that I can't swing a cat on the South coast without hitting someone on the North coast? Wow. Esa es una isla delgada.
