Andy,

Can you please take a look, this isn't normal.

On LU, in my empire:

Grey: Recovering from large earthquake.
XBus: Recovering from large earthquake.
Kestrel: Recovering from large earthquake.
Kestrel: New Red flag today, Recovering from large earthquake that occurred in XBus yesterday.
XBus: Not showing a red flag that earthquake occurred yesterday.

In the past 10-12 twelve weeks I've had 15-17 earthquakes across the 19 countries in my account. On no world do I have more than eight countries.

In 5 years I've never see anything like this type of frequency.

Now that you mentioned it, the profit on gas has quadrupled.

OK, more quakes. Pretty quick here I can buy a Stealth Bomber.

Personally, whenever I experienced earthquakes in the past, they tended to come closely grouped together. Like I'll go a few months with no earthquakes then BAM! 2-5 earthquakes within a few days. Probably like techtonic plates shifting, since there definitely are times where 8 earthquakes occur around the world in one game month and times where many game months pass with none. At least it seems this way, but earthquakes aren't that big a deal IMO so I didn't pay close attention to them.

Crafty: There was some fracking going on in a couple of my countries, mostly by LLWs, but I put a stop to that and closed down the houses of ill-repute. Of course the birth rate went down, but so did the quakes. **me, guffawing manaically till my sides hurt** :)

Used to be people looked up the most helpful president. The president who offered aid in event of earthquakes.

Another loss to the community I guess.

Why aren't there other natural disasters, like hurricanes or blizzards or tornadoes or Snookies?

If corps would help, just say, I can get some to you.

Thanks Crafty, but I'm ok with replacing the corps.

The biggest pain is that it screws my ASQ, depending on the corps that go down.

Appreciate the offer.

Speaking of which, I can't find them anywhere, even though we can still upload them.
