I have it from a reliable source that the first earthquake in almost a century within the Greater BA metropolitan area was Mother Earth's valiant attempt do every living creature on the planet a favor by cracking the ground open and swallow a bunch of foreigners posing for a photo at just around the same time. Her effort to save us all is duly noted.
