- mrmondo 12y agoThe rating isn't much use without the depth and the location.
- hluska 12y agoA number of people lost their homes and are faced with an incredible tragedy. What do you possibly gain by being pedantic now??
- mrmondo 12y agoI lived through the Christchurch earthquakes, where my whole city was destroyed. The two major quakes were a 6.3 and 7.1 between 4 and 10KM deep. Perspective is everything.
