Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Further to my mail of the 19th, a major earthqake has been reported in the U.S. Is the miracle water in Mumbai (is now seen in Gujarat also)and the earthquake a mere coincidence? Quote Magnitude 7.1 quake off Sandwich Islands: USGS (Reuters) 20 August 2006 WASHINGTON - A major magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck early on Sunday in the Atlantic Ocean off South America, but there was no danger of a tsunami in the region, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The 1:41 a.m. (0541 gmt) quake in the Scotia Sea was 300 miles (495 km) from the nearest island, Bristol Island, South Sandwich Islands, the USGS said. No tsunami alert was issued. The earthquake was caused by two plates moving horizontally, said Dale Grant, geophysicist for the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado. "What causes a tsunami is when plates move vertically. This was not the situation," he said by telephone. He said the quake's remote location ensured there would be no damages or loss of life. "It's just out in the middle of nowhere, it's not near anything. A few fish might have gotten woken up but there will be no damage. We are very lucky," he said.
