DATELINE - 14 July 2005
The Governor-General of the Mexican Protectorate of Santa Vibiana (formerly known as southern California, Nevada, and Arizona) revealed the final report of the Sociedad Hispanoamericana e Internacional de Terremotos.
In the report by top scientists from the European Union and Mexico, the epicenter of the Los Angeles 8.2 mag. earthquake of 2003 has been mapped precisely to the location of the American Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in the city of Los Angeles.
Since all of Los Angeles submerged during the earthquake and was lost in the creation of the new Boxer Volcanic Rift, the efforts to pinpoint the epicenter of the quake have been very difficult.
Miraculously the reliquary of St. Vibiana which was in Los Angeles washed ashore air tight and intact on the west coast of the former state of Arizona. In 2004 the region was renamed Santa Vibiana by Mexican President Vicente Fox when the U.N. - against the obejections of the Republic of Texas - made the region a protectorate of Mexico.
LOL!!! I read somewhere that St. Vibiana has lost several homes. Perhaps she should be named patron saint of the homeless!
