Earthquake Plot Update/Clarification
So, since we did opt to go with putting EQ magnitues in headers, here is a sample one. You don't have to put the duration if you don't want (they'll go between 2-30 seconds though, if you wanted to).
I do have a few requests:
Nothing over a 6.2 without contacting me about it first, since I don't want the island destroyed, and a bunch of 7.0+s over the course of the week can do that.
No more than one 5.5+ a day, please, so check the headers.
No more than one quake every hour, so please try to be specific with your times in the headers. (I mean "lunchtime" can be anywhere from 10:30 - 3 PM, so ...y'know =P )
We'll use the wiki richter scale page (here) unless someone feels like googling up a better one with more specific examples. 'cause there's a difference between 4.0 and 4.7. this I know. =P
Yes, some of the shacks will fall down in the bigger quakes. The contents of the stores and mall will shift while quaking.
I will be kind and say that the plumbing and electricity will remain intact despite quake magnitudes >:D
If you have questions, ask. I will likely get back to you after sleep 'cause is about that time.
