The magnitude of the Cuba quake was downgraded significantly later in the day --- it ended up a 5.1 or something which is much different and far less dangerous.

So many Earthquakes nowadays, cause we keep drilling for oil in between the plates and removing the lubrication from between the plates. It is like metal on metal friction that is causing all these quakes. If we stopped drilling for oil from beneath the earths crust we would have less earthquakes around the world and we would be saving our planet from the inside out...

When the F* are the oil companies going to realize this.....
