This Sunday morning at 9:15, Papua New Guinea was struck by an earthquake. It was of a 6.3 magnitude, according to the US geological survey. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths coming from this earthquake. The earthquake's epicenter was reported to be 20 miles east of Lae, Papua New Guinea and 185 miles north of Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. The quake's depth was reported to be at 66.2 kilometers.
Just when you think all these earthquakes are over, then you hear about another one. After all these recent earthquakes, like the one in Haiti, it's kind of become expected to hear about more and more happening each and every day, somewhere completely different around the world. I'm starting to get a little concerned about all these earthquakes. While some aren't too bad, some are extremely devastating to the people who live there, and it affects everyone around the world, not just them. I'm wondering why all these earthquakes are coming now; did something change? Or is it just a coincidence? And the thing is, nothing can be done to stop these earthquakes. We just have to let them come then deal with what it leaves behind for us to clean up. I hope this chain of earthquakes is just about done.
