@OTerrifying I’m a meteorologist and can explain what happened here. The tree got struck repeatedly because of karma. It was a bad tree. The tree wore the chain it forged in life making it link by link & yard by yard; the tree girded it of its own free will, & of its own free will it wore it.

@OTerrifying When you sleep, did you know that you inadvertently eat bugs like spiders, mites, centipedes, millipedes, lantern flies, stink bugs, etc? There’s actually no basis in fact to what I just said… just one of those stupid myths that has been around for millennia.

@uncensoredpromo This is a trick question. No one is at fault. It’s just, sometimes, these things happen and we do the best we can to overcome them. It can be hard, I know. But we must challenge ourselves and accept what can’t be undone and not dwell in the past. We must move forward in harmony❤️

Caribbean Plate is bordered by a strike-slip fault which means quakes cause lateral movement as opposed to vertical. You need vertical displacement of water to create disastrous tsunamis. This is why the 2010 Haitian quake didn’t produce a #tsunami . Same applies to today’s quake.
