Wikipedia – LISTS OF EARTHQUAKES – Ireland isn’t in their lists, nice. Well, I just read the 2008 UN nuclear report, the section on soil composition, and I think I’m going to spend more time in the open air. And washing the soil off my vegetables.

Wikipedia – Sol_Ert_T02010 – Haiti Earthquake “Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. The most-watched telethon in history aired on 22 January, called “Hope for Haiti Now,” raising US$58 million by the next day.” Wikipedia – Hope for Haiti Now “In 2012 The New York Times reported that a forensic audit conducted by the New York Attorney General‘s office found that much of the money distributed to the Yéle Haiti organization from the telethon was retained by founder Wyclef Jean and his associates for their own benefit.”

Largest Earthquakes of the 20th Century T01900~01999AD

Wikipedia – Sol_Ert_T01976 – Tangshan earthquake “The aftershock zone remains seismically active in the twenty-first century. Earthquakes measuring 4.5 M_s  to 4.7 M_s  occurred in 2012, 2016 and 2019. On 12 July 2020, a 5.1 M_s  strike-slip earthquake struck the northern part of the Tangshan Fault. It produced its own sequence of aftershocks that ended on 17 July 2020. The earthquake only caused minor damage to buildings in Tangshan.  Its occurrence stirred a debate among scientists into whether the recent earthquakes are aftershocks of the 1976 event or are background seismicity.”

Wikipedia – The Sol_Ert_T01960 Valdivia earthquake and tsunami (Spanish: Terremoto de Valdivia) or the Great Chilean earthquake (Colman’s comment – “the one we remember”) “Two days after the earthquake Cordón Caulle, a volcanic vent close to Puyehue volcano, erupted. Other volcanoes may also have erupted, but none were recorded because of the lack of communication in Chile at the time.” “Earthquake lights were reported in Purén.”
