Not hot off the press but somewhat recent and curious.

Interesting combustion event towards the end.

Quote:

The Mediterranean region is seismically active due to the northward convergence (4-10 mm/yr) of the African plate with respect to the Eurasian plate along a complex plate boundary.

Organize

bfesser,

Why don't you consolidate your multiple, highly similar posts on this thread? It would be more elegant, less sloppy, more coherent, and less run-on.

I've been posting them as replies, so this shows up when people search for active topics. I suppose I could condense down the old ones, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

We had a 2.6 in Kevil, KY last night around 9pm.

What concerns me are these "swarm" earthquakes. Unprecedented in modern history with both the huge frequency of occurrence, combined with location.

I don't see 2008 as ancient history. For that matter, I really don't see past 2K years or so as "Ancient History" , within the context of our subject.
