I live in Guatemala and we have like 20 little perceptible eathquakes or "temblores", as we call them if they don't destroy anything, every single year. There was a time when i was like 11, when we had like 300 temblores in a 2 week period, man, that was funny and scary at the same time!!! schools were closed down, we all slept in the living rooms of our homes and the earth was rocking hard!!!, right here it is normal as we are over the San Andrés fault line and we have over 32 volcanos (10 of them constantly eruptioning). Five years ago The Pacaya Volcano practically blew away it's crater and it rained like 3 inches of ash all over the city, that's one of the coolest things i've seen in my life, there were huge electrical storms caused by the static in the ash, the day turned into night in minutes and the sunlight was defracted by the crystals in the air giving an impressive show of colors and shadows, not to mention the light emitted by the lava, simply beautifull.
