Nov 8, 2011 Okinawa Earthquake: Cockadoodledo !

The breaking news, breaking headlines, breaking the record for being the first to report it are at it, again !

Just before noon today Nov 8, 2001 in Japan we had an earthquake rattle a few things on Okinawa.

But, all the breaking-wind people come from somewhere else.  So, they'll be calling this the great Okinawa Earthquake of Nov 7, 2011. 

Depending on which experts you listen to, the quake registered 6.8 or 6.9.

People who have their feet on the ground, in Okinawa, Japan aren't all that shook up.  The news agencies just enjoy making the rest of the world run around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Today, I was standing in the isle between the baked beans and the canned tomato sauce when the earthquake hit.  I had a camera hanging off my shoulder.  The quake rattled the cans for a few seconds but, nothing fell.  So, I never tried to catch any photos.

The Earthquake was a couple of hundred kilometers (136 miles) away from Okinawa and a couple of hundred kilometers (130 miles) under the ocean.

So, I'd like to ask CNN, FOX News, US Coast Guard and everybody else running around like chickens yapping cockadoodledo a question.

What would make a bigger ripple (tsunami) in the water, an earthquake over 200 kilometers under the water or someone farting in a waterbed ?

Ya'll should stick to reporting the real news and quit trying to make news up.

EVERYONE IN OKINAWA, JAPAN IS FINE AND UNHARMED BY THE QUAKE !

Doc,
It's true, I experimented once.

Would it be all-right if I get excited about it anyway? It's been a little dull around here lately.

FishHawk,
Well, alright for you. Just this one time, though.

I find earthquakes so scary - I couldn't live in San Fran anymore because of them. Be safe!

Andrea,
The science of quake prediction being what it is, I don't think any one place on earth is safer than another.
So, I just keep my eyes on the wildlife; they know. So, I try to be safe. But, a little wild, too !
