6.5-magnitude quake rocks Guatemala's coast, second in last four days

Just days after a 7.5 Magnitude Earthquake hit Guatemala, they were again hit by a 6.5 Sunday afternoon. The two combined have misplaced thousands, who are now without a home to return to when the dust settles.

Folks all over the country ran out of their businesses and homes in a frenzy. For the many cities along Guatemala's coast near the border of Mexico on Sunday, the people were in a state of terror. Luckily there weren't any reports of deaths or any major damage. The locals panicked, due to four aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 4.5 to 5.0.

How often does this occur? I am going to head to Denver, Colorado, and watch Los Angeles get wiped of the map like dust being brushed off the shoulder. I think the recent Ecological Disasters are warning signs, of what is about to occur, on or around Dec. 21st 2012. Maybe I am over analyzing the situation. I don't take earthquakes lightly when they are along the Pacific plate.

CA is way overdue for the BIG ONE , and soon enough we will know our fate!

Sandy refugees say life in tent city feels like prison

OCEANPORT, New Jersey (Reuters) - It is hard to sleep at night inside the tent city at Oceanport, New Jersey. A few hundred Superstorm Sandy refugees have been living here since Wednesday - a muddy camp that is a sprawling anomaly amidst Mercedes Benz dealerships and country clubs in this town near the state's devastated coastal region.

Inside the giant billowy white tents, the massive klieg lights glare down from the ceiling all night long. The air is loud with the buzz of generators pumping out power. The post-storm housing — a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack - is in lockdown, with security guards at every door, including the showers.

No one is allowed to go anywhere without showing their I.D. Even to use the bathroom, "you have to show your badge," said Amber Decamp, a 22-year-old whose rental was washed away in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The mini city has no cigarettes, no books, no magazines, no board games, no TVs, and no newspapers or radios. On Friday night, in front of the mess hall, which was serving fried chicken and out-of-the-box, just-add-water potatoes, a child was dancing and dancing — to nothing. "We're starting to lose it," said Decamp. "But we have nowhere else to go."

The tent city is emblematic of the crisis left by Sandy: the tens of thousands of people who have no place to live. Some are without power and heat - even if the utilities have their power back, their electrics and heating systems in their homes may have been destroyed by the floods. They are the short-termers. Others have a longer-term problem - their houses were made completely uninhabitable by flooding, ripped apart, or burned to the ground. And they pose a far more daunting challenge.
