    So you’re saying it’s not news to you that a rock concert could cause an earthquake? Because it’s sure as hell news to me. Does it matter who was playing at the concert?

      For what it’s worth this is super common at that venue. Not trying to take anything away from the story, it was really surprising to me when I learned it also.

      It didn’t cause an earthquake. Did you not read your own article?

        Did they say it did? They said could.

        And if it registers high enough on the Rochester scale, what else would we call it when it reaches high enough?

          But it can’t. Earthquakes are caused by the earth’s plates shifting. Unless Taylor Swift can move tectonic plates, it’s not an earthquake.

          We would call it what they called it. Seismic activity.

          Taylor Swift isn’t going to shake buildings and crack pavement.

            Words can have more than one definition… you’re looking at what constitutes a Natural Disaster Earthquake, there’s also just the definition, earthquake….

            And yes, seismic activity l absolutely can shake buildings and crack pavement… you’re now contradicting yourself? Do you even know what point you’re arguing anymore?

              She didn’t cause an earthquake. I can’t believe I’m having this discussion. Fucking ridiculous.

                She didn’t, she caused seismic activity, that when high enough on the Richter scale would constitute an earthquake.

                You tried correcting someone and were wrong mate, this is entirely on you lmfao. If you can’t take it, don’t fucking dish it you mook.

                Go back and read the comments again… lmfao. They never said she caused an earthquake, they key word you completely missed was “could”. They also never in fact mentioned her at all in the comment even! As I said you don’t even know what you’re arguing anymore.

                There’s just trolls everywhere isn’t there?

                  This is what I responded to. A rock concert CANNOT cause a fucking earthquake. Which is exactly what I said.

                  Go touch come grass kid.

                    But it can…? Not a natural disaster like you’re claiming, but again, words have more than one definition sometimes…

                    You need to go read a book apparently lmfao.

                    And yes seismic activity can topple buildings and crack pavement, don’t forget you also claimed that…
