Earthquake, or Israeli nuke attack?

[nuconvert]

very deep

[NorCalRepub]

haha........a nuke attack is baby steps compared to an earthquake......

[blogbat]

All shook up, ya ya ya...

[bd476]

Yes, it sure is - 34.2 miles deep.

[bd476]

Errhh... yes.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

No doubt the DUmmies, and the wacko conspiracy theorist will say that the C.I.A had something to do with it.

[nuconvert]

Hopefully won't cause too much destruction or injuries

[CindyDawg]

Is that good or bad? (depth, not Iran)

[bahblahbah]

HAARP

[Enterprise]

Naw, it's just our allies, the Annanaki who were left behind, and their deep earth earthquake machines. On behalf of the Galactic Federation, they're sending a message to the Iranians to stop with the Nukes while they are ahead. It's all planned. Nothing to worry about.

Perspective on the area's seismic history is shown in this map. Look for the small yellow star representing tonight's quake at the bottom right:

Wonder if it's the same fault as the one outside Kerman last month?

[mcshot]

Fisrt thing I thought of too was shroom clouds.
I think it's something we can expect.

Shallow, strong quakes cause the most damage.
