There are earthquakes every year, as of yet there is nothing out of the ordinary about 2012.

I'm from Indonesia and I'm sad. They also said that, once the actual center of the earth quake rises, it might reach a scale of 10.

Was joking. But seriously, Indonesia has been one of the countries that are continuously struck by disasters.

Did you guys know that some buildings can be "earthquake-proofed"? I'm not sure how, but I read something about it before in a book. Probably useless against an earthquake of that strength though.

Actually most proofed structures can withstand anything up to how much the rebar in the structure can flex, so it varies. The real problem is that most buildings aren't earthquake proof.
