Strong Quakes Kill at Least 50 in Iran
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran - Three strong earthquakes and their aftershocks reduced entire villages to rubble in western Iran early Friday, killing at least 50 people and injuring hundreds, state media reported.

At least 13 tremors jolted the mountainous region throughout the night, state television reported, saying the first one had a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 and struck around 1 a.m. local time.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 5.7 magnitude quake shortly before 5 a.m. local time., followed by a 4.7 magnitude aftershock about 15 minutes later. The area had been hit by a 4.7-magnitude quake the day before, the USGS said.

The quakes were centered near Boroujerd and Doroud, two industrial cities about 210 miles southwest of Tehran, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

Provincial official Ali Barani said about 200 villages were damaged, some flattened.

State-run television said 50 bodies had been pulled out of destroyed houses in Silakhor, a region north of Doroud. The broadcast said 850 people were injured.

Barani told IRNA rescue teams had been sent to the region. He said survivors were in urgent need of blankets, tents and food.

Television showed survivors standing next to their destroyed houses in villages north of Doroud. The television also showed dozens of sheep and goats killed by the quake.

Barani said hospitals in Doroud and Boroujerd were full to their capacity.

Officials called on doctors and nurses on leave to get back to work. Iranians are celebrating Nowruz, or new year, and most government offices are closed and their staff on holiday.

The quakes damaged buildings and toppled telephone lines in Doroud, IRNA quoted officials there as saying. People ran into the streets in panic, and refused to return to their homes.

"We are afraid to get back home. I spent the night with my family and guests in open space last night," Doroud resident Mahmoud Chaharmiri told The Associated Press by telephone.

But Chaharmiri said there were no scenes of destruction in Doroud such as those after previous quakes.

In February 2005, a 6.4-magnitude quake in southern Iran killed 612 people and injured more than 1,400.

A magnitude 6.6 quake flattened the historic southeastern city of Bam in the same region in December 2003, killing 26,000 people.

Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. On average, it experiences at least one slight earthquake every day.

i was kinda waiting for news of a quake, or quakes...something..

i had read somewhere, just recently, that after an eclipse, there is always a strong quake that follows it, historically, so many are afraid when they see an eclipse...


and so, sure enough...well, there it its.



but on to other things....(i never know where to post my thoughts...sorry about that if it is not logical--my memeroy of where to find topics is very poor)



check this out...you may have already seen it in the news.

The US military plans to detonate a 700 tonne explosive charge in a test called "Divine Strake" that will send a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas, a senior defense official said.

"I don't want to sound glib here but it is the first time in Nevada that you'll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons," said James Tegnelia, head of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

notice. please, what they NAMED This test.

how arrogant can they possibly be?


it made me think of something that is "disgusting" and that "causes desolation" and they link it to the term, "DIVINE" ?????


well, it surely is just plain foolishness in my estimation.


besides....
what kind of effect might that size of a blast, under ground,
DO to the already unstable fault lines in the west?
not to mention the yellowstone area.....


"divine": in the dictionary:
1. of, relating to, or proceeding directly from God or a god.


well. they DO consider themselves to BE gods, now don't they?


"strake"
(more at STRETCH)
2. STREAK, STRIPE.
(also 1. a continuous band of hull planking or plates on a ship.)

looking up "stretch", perhaps one of the more interesting definitions is this:
4. to fell with or as if with a blow.
(more there that is interesting also....)




yes, i would say that it is quite the "stretch" to call this "DIVINE".
as if it is "from God".


10.a."to amplify or enlarge beyond natural or proper limits"



how arrogant men have become.....
how filled with violence and destruction and wickedness this world is.



God does see....and He looks down.



the test is scheduled for some time in June.


-bz

The planet killer asteroid that is supposed to come at us in 2034 (perfect timing for 120 years or a "generation" given from the time of Noah from the first world war) was named "Wormwood" and I asked the same question.

WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE TAUNTING, ANYWAY??????????????????????

leia

yes, leia.

i notice it too.

and we can be sure that if we notice it,
it does not go "un-noticied" by GOD.

(UN means NOT)


also, i am sure you have noticed the names of their "operations"

things like:
operation IRON HAMMER
operation IRON FIST

etc.



Jesus is the one that will rule the nations
with a ROD OF IRON.

he will dash them to pieces
as one dashes a clay pot to smitherines
with an iron rod or hammer.

Psalm 2. Isaiah chapter 40.

all the nations are as an "unreality" before Him that sits upon the Throne of the Heavens.


watching with you,
bz

BZ....yes that is pretty arrogant! Wow!

Rose,
I just saw this thread after I posting the same thing. LOL....we're both watching and on the right track eh! Great minds think alike but I was thinking on the same day they had test missles....an earthquake following.

The same thing crossed my mind...?'s if underground testing might be linked to the earthquake there...if Iran might have done something that set it off? Just a passing thought...

I was thinking more along the lines of God speaking as a warning since they are planning to use these on Israel.
