However, when my mother came and ask whether I felt it I was like: "Wasn't that a thunder?". I'd prefer a 2.2 earthquake over a thunder that feels like a 2.2 earthquake If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I live in a seismic area and at all meetings with civil protection or various experts I have always said that an earthquake feels from the third degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an interest, ever since a child, on natural disaster documentaries and shows from Discovery and others, and i have a feeling that in the future, this particular fire would be making a regular appearance. All the stories around it were horrible..... A work colleague of my parents just runned away from his home, surrounded by fire, on Saturday. On one car he took his parents, on the other his wife took their two daughters, of 12 and 15. The man managed to cross that deadly road, his wife and daughters didn't, and died burned on their cars. So many stories like this one of people running away and getting caught on that road...... Really really sad..... And the worst is that it's not over yet...

kungshamra71 687 Posted June 20, 2017 #1047 Share Posted June 20, 2017 17 horas atrás, heywoodu disse: Sadly, I think you are right. Full with stories about the completely encircled towns. I can't understand why there aren't any firefighting planes from Italy, France, Germany, whatever going down there. It's a couple of hours of flight time (maximum) and those Portuguese heroes who have been fighting their hearts out for more than 48 hours now so desperately need some relief.. (apart from the Spanish help they're getting) They are getting a lot of help, more than 2800 firemen are fighting the fires, our army and navy is helping as well. Anyway, if you can understand portuguese (or use google translate) you can read a bit of this to understand how bad it was for those who got surrounded by the fire:Incendio em Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
