Myanmar Earthquake 2011: 7.0 Magnitude Temblor Hits Near Thailand
YANGON, Myanmar -- Two strong earthquakes struck northeastern Myanmar less than a minute apart Thursday night. They could be felt as far away as Bangkok, but a tsunami was not generated.
The first 7.0-magnitude quake was just six miles (10 kilometers) deep, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by another of the same strength but far deeper: 140 miles (230 kilometers).
The quakes struck along Myanmar's borders with Thailand and Laos, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai.
Buildings swayed in Bangkok, 500 miles (800 kilometers) south of the epicenter.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says it was located too far inland to create a destructive wave.

I know the earth changes that we are in now, I'm just a bit concerned about this October/November period and what it is going to bring.
Why october/november ?
I read somewhere either on posts here or somewhere else that October/November brings some sort of alignment and major magnetic pull on the earth so that would be a pretty bad time.
My memory is bad at my age maybe some other members can help me out.

hey biggs the one thing you don't want to do is worry or be fearful
sooo..my solution is have a plan to cover it all
have the bug out bag ready.. have a map of your area and be familiar with what road goes where... think of each problem that would cause you to grab the bag and go...
if it was flood..what way would you go..where would you head for if it was earthquake and you couldn't get far down the road..what would you do ..see what i mean..have a plan and then a back up plan
if you get seperated from your family do you have plan as to hold to get in touch.. do you have a place where you could all check in or meet up what if you can't make contact...talk to the family about it
if you decided that the home was the answer..do you have a safer room
after you have thought of every contingency...relax...you've covered the bases and there nothing else you can do
