Frequency of earthquakes and typhoons in this area is enough for anyone to leave such a hell hole! Yet millions call this area home? Count your blessings, others have only woes.
Where would they go? The Gulf States virtually enslave them, and Drumpf would just ship ’em right back.
389 miles deep is an extremely deep earthquake, especially one of such magnitude. Interesting, if a little foreboding.
