Yes, that was my first thought. I wonder if we ever implemented Rods from God?

It’s happened twice now. And you know what they say:

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. three times is enemy action.

Did just a tad of googling...Pretty earthquake prone...there are like 9 faults going through the country.

And their quakes are usually pretty destructive.

We know God is on our side. A little praying can't hurt.

And God...Please protect President Trump and his family.

Seems rather unlikely that they would be doing this 6-7 miles underground. Apparently the deepest known nuclear test was 9,350 ft - in 1985 by the Soviets.

(Two tactical nukes touched off?)

Though there would be a detectable signature
the B83 has a frangible nose facilitating
perpendicular impact with the ground

Several decades ago someone suggested to me that it could be used as an “earthquake” weapon

I doubt that’s what happened here, though

The B83 is typically used for airburst engagement delivery

Reminds me of a joke I heard
Friend“My wife wants a divorce”
Me “why?”
Friend “she says I am not American enough”
Me “what?”
Friend “ yup, should have seen that coming a kilometer away”😂

Unrelated but still makes me laugh
From libertarian dad jokes
Knock knock
Get a warrant 😂😂
