Here we go again

BBC said:
A magnitude 5.3 earthquake has toppled several buildings in southern Spain, near the town of Lorca, killing at least two people, officials say.

The quake struck at a depth of just 1km (0.6 miles), some 120km south-west of Alicante, at 1850 (1650 BST), the US Geological Survey reported.

TV shots showed rescue workers rushing through debris-littered streets.

Lorca Mayor Francisco Jodar told local radio he feared that four deaths had been caused by falling debris

Is there a metal band called earthquake? If not there should be.

Certainly seems to be a lot of instability under the plates at the moment. Wouldn't like to be near Yellowstone at the moment

(not that being far away would do much good either)

It was HAARP - they let Spain take the hit to try and release some of the pressure from the massive quake that's going to hit Rome this evening
