The Solomon Islands archipelago in the Pacific was hit by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake today, less than an hour after a 6.5-magnitude temblor triggered a warning of possible local tsunamis.
The quake hit at 9:36 a.m. local time (4:36 CST) about 103 kilometers (64 miles) south-southeast of Gizo, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The earthquake was 30.5 kilometers deep.

Something is happening...Yes, it's called "Orbital Mechanics". Yet another humble Kuiper Belt Object has it's orbital velocity canceled and dies in a blaze glory. :o)

"Something is happening..." 30.5km down... Sounds like subcrustial peaks breaking away. A few more go and the Earth's crust will slip over the mantle creating a pole shift. 2012 arrives early!!! :)

It's interesting that widespread warfare has often accompanied upticks in natural disasters. That was reported (more or less) during the Trojan War (in Homer's Iliad) and by Thucydides in The Peloponnesian War to mention a couple.
