Heard about this one on the radio today. Last yr there was a earthquake on the same hour and day as this one this yr.
Last yr there were 8 earthquakes worldwide that registered over 6.5 between Dec 21 and Dec 28. I dont want to cry wolf but this may not be over with.
Here is the one I found info on from same day and hour as this yr.
