Spain Shakes With Quick Quakes

"Quakes kill 10 in southern Spain" May 12, 2011|Associated Press

MADRID — Two earthquakes struck southeast Spain in quick succession yesterday, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens, and causing major damage to buildings, officials said. It was the highest quake-related death toll in Spain in more than 50 years....

Meanwhile yesterday, the day a now-dead scientist purportedly predicted a devastating temblor would strike Rome, about 22 earthquakes struck Italy by noon. That was normal for the quake-prone country, and none did any damage to the city.

Despite efforts by seismologists to debunk the myth of a major Roman quake on May 11, 2011, and stress that quakes can never be predicted, some Romans left town.

That's odd because it is the AmeriKan media that puts myths out. It truly is a sad commentary on them that the psychics now carry more credibility.

"DEVASTATION IN SPAIN -- A fireman and a worker in Lorca, Spain, walked yesterday amid the ruin of a collapsed building, after two earthquakes killed at least nine people and caused extensive damage Wednesday. Thirty people remained hospitalized yesterday. After spending the night outside, residents of the town of about 90,000 19 miles inland from the Mediterranean Sea awaited safety assessments of their houses to see whether they could return home (Boston Globe May 13 2011)."  

You would only have known that had you purchased a Boston Globe and seen the photograph.
