Earthquake watch

Eversince Ondoy, I've been monitoring other natural disasters/calamities for reference and preparation. This will serve as a reminder for me to purchase all emergency items my family needs.

During all this time of gathering info, it just seems peculiar that a lot of seismic activity is being published after the Haiti quake and one thing struck me to start this is on January 12, 2010, I felt a quick seismic jolt at 7 in the evening and then news came out after two days Haiti had a big one. Sure, sure, the earth crust is constantly moving, but it's just surprising to me how frequently it comes out in the news nowadays.

Below are the logs mostly from the PDI website.
