  • Liumingke, are you a prophet? A fortune-teller? How do you know a big one is coming?

  • If I were a prophet, I wouldn't confirm it or deny it. :-). We all know how prophets get treated throughout history.

  • Liumingke, it's really not cool to frighten the masses with doom and gloom predictions like that. Not cool. You had us running for the hills there.

  • :-). Seriously. If I had knowledge about something happening like this, I wouldn't post it on a forum. People would call me crazy and ignore me anyway. Maybe a handful would take me seriously and heed the warning.

  • Kunming is not in a particular dangerous situation anyway. The high number of small, barely detectable by humans, and small-to-medium sized quakes like the ones you'll feel in tall buildings and sometimes at ground level, keep the pressure from building up to massive quake dimensions. Sure, it could still happen but there shouldn't be anything suggesting imminent +7 risk. I read somewhere that the number of small to medium sized quakes in Yunnan amount to some 4000 a year. That's a good thing.
