    Trust everyone affected is safe and any structural damage is minimal.

    Our planet is very volatile. Every day we can point to some natural event to demonstrate that volatility.

    This freak head stuff by white religion jumped up bout repent, since we were colonized and have the white angels and white Jesus inculcated from youth into our head, in other words we are been fed a diet of theology instead of science and technology to keep us in a state of poverty, not wanting any wealth but to go up in the white man cloud on the sky, in a 1974 earth quake on a Caribbean island every one got baptize and self proclaimed saved. But the true God that’s not colonized would want us to acknowledge technology and be wise to realize it’s just rocks movement under heat that cause subduction which shake the soil.
