maybe be prepared for a big earthquake... 40 small ones could increase the pressure

We reckon we had a little bit of slight trembling of ornaments around the house in Layan/Naithon 2 days ago. I could swear I saw ripples in a coffee I was drinking and in the (moments before) still pool water at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday ! I sh.t you not! Hope we don't get some nasty subduction thing again. Tsunami's while nature just doing its thing ... suck!
