Earthquake in Beijing....

It’s on a tectonic boundary,right beside the ring of fire,I have experienced small earthquakes,nothing big,but I have a mate here in Canada who is Filipino,he survived the Baguio quake in 1990? in which 2000-2500 people died.I was in Kathmandu 2018 a few years after the Nepal earthquake that killed 9000,lots of damage still visible in the city,spoke to a few people who were in the city when it happened,UK might have crap weather but it’s lucky it doesn’t have natural disasters.

I do love a natural disaster, makes you realise how insignificant we really are in he overall scheme, thought this avalanche was a bit special so thought I would share   

I was in south east valleys in Wales when Birmingham had a tremor, made my light switch rattle... So I know where you're coming from. ...

From little light switch rattles do giant earthquakes grow,they have to start somewhere.

Historically/ geographically there is evidence I believe of a tsunami  travelling up the river Severn in by gone yeasts so still a possibility, this tit could bore a glass eye to sleep but explains things

The last time I was there I found the old store that used to be Mr Sharma's Hashish Centre on freak street it sells household items nowadays,I wonder what the old hippies would have made of the change.

I’ve visited Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua and the viewing time at the crater is very limited due to fumes and unpredictable nature of the place, apparently a week before I was there a big lump of lava spewed out and landed on top of a tourist bus fortunately empty at the time burnt it to a crisp, while I was there all I wanted to do was sacrifice a goat by lobbing it into the crater my wife told me not to be so silly lol….
