Two powerful and shallow earthquakes strikes northwestern Iran, over 250 dead and 2000 injured

Two powerful earthquakes killed over 250 people and injured around 2000 in northwest Iran, where rescue workers frantically combed the rubble of dozens of villages throughout the night and into Sunday as medical staff desperately tried to save lives.

Thousands huddled in makeshift camps or slept in the streets after Saturday's quakes in fear of more aftershocks, 40 of which have already struck.

Casualty figures are expected to rise, Iranian officials said, as some of the injured were in critical condition while others were still trapped under the rubble inaccessible to rescue workers hampered by darkness in the first hours after the quakes.

Six villages were destroyed and about 60 sustained more than 50 percent damage, Iranian media reported. About 110 villages were damaged in the quakes, Deputy Interior Minister Hassan Ghadami was quoted by Fars as saying.

well 153 s a good start

More stronger activity coming in next days ..

Probably we will have M 7.0 + ..

Last Edited by Rain-Man on 08/11/2012 04:33 PM

How so?

Think one more M 6.0 + area from Afghanistan to Greece, West Coast, Japan or M 7.0 + somewhere around Fiji-Tonga-Vanuatu area ..

Should be pinned for those of us who don't watch MSM

I didn't know about this until I saw it here

funny. early this morning I had a feeling about a large one off the coast of OR/WA - the space needle will sway ... next 3-4 days ... course I'm wrong. I often get these 'feelings' and they're never right! lol

HAARP?

180 people dead... [link to rt.com]

also, remember that they have down-graded the richter scale.. so really it was a 7.4...

Iran earthquake kills 183, about 1,400 injured

Almost 16,000 people given emergency shelter, casualty toll may rise as rescuers reach more villages

Also consider HAARP activity at the time of this occurrence...not that HAARP even exists

U.S. should send aid. But you know that won't happen

That is crazy!

Oh no how many people were in that building wish I never clicked on that vid, I feel ill now.
