I don't think that is entirely true.

Ok, well, I guess it could have been the Rosicrucians instead of the Bilderbergers.

Right now you have this mental fantasy image of some Austrian City laid waste by this earthquake, don't you? I can tell.

"The title of this thread explains why this quake is a major event. Now, as I already mentioned above, the immediate question is, :
- why is this major event assigned a 3.9 mag ?"

Uh...could it be because it WAS a 3.9 magnitude quake? They don't pull magnitudes out of their hats, you know. It's based on instrumentation.

A 3.9 can do local damage.

I doubt you will still say that after reading the comments at the end of the linked page.

Good Gawd! I suppose next you're going to tell me that you can get tornadoes in Oklahoma!

This quake is not showing up on any of the earthquake sites. If someone has a link to a site that lists this in english, I'd be very appreciative.

"tornados in Oklahoma"


No, just in Kansas on alternate Thursdays in the odd number months!:)

Austria? 3.9??? LOLOLOL---The heck w/ earthquakes in Austria, I want to be able to get down and feel the actual shaking here in L.A. again. Don't knock it till you've literally been lying on the ground when one occurs(Example: The early A.M. "Whittier Quake in '88". That scared me to no end.) It is quite different than sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. (And no offense meant to anyone living in Northridge either.)

I am an Austrian citizen myself, and that is EXTREMELY odd. And it happened in Styria, where Schwarzenegger is originally from.

That part of Norther Italy is just next to Austria's province of Styria.
