ATHENS: A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5 struck fire-ravaged southern Greece on Tuesday, the Athens Geodynamic Institute said. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The quake struck at 12:05 p.m. (0905 GMT) and had an epicentre 185 kilometers (115 miles) west of Athens, 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of Pyrgos near Ancient Olympia, the institute said. The quake panicked residents in the region and was felt in areas where fire-fighters were battling blazes.

All they need is a plague of locusts, and the circle will be complete.

That’s not an earthquake. It’s Xerxes’ troop movements.

A 5 will still do damage to the remains of fire damaged masonry buildings.

This just proves that fires cause earthquakes. No wonder California is so often plagued by earthquakes and fires.
According to Al Gore, the fires are heating up the ground and causing the tectonic plates to expand and shift. And it’s Bush’s fault because fires are caused by global warming.

This is all America’s fault and particularly it is the doing of one President George Bush, just like when he caused the tsunami and the New Orleans flood - he’s like the bloody Wizard of Oz you know....

And break water pipes and gas lines or knock down some power lines.

followed by 6.3 in Baja California, 5.4 NE of Australia, 5.4 in Kazakhsan. Looks like they are drawing a ring around a major perhaps in Japan or Seattle.
