Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

And this article about a 3,400 year old lost city in Iraq is also mind boggling..

TÜBINGEN, Germany — Archaeologists have rediscovered the ruins of a 3,400-year-old city in the Middle East — thanks to climate change.

A team of German and Kurdish researchers say severe droughts in Iraq led to the drawing down of the Mosul reservoir in order to save local crops. As the reservoir emptied out, the Mittani Empire-era city emerged for the first time in decades.

Archaeologists say a large earthquake destroyed the Mittani city around 1350 BC, causing the upper parts of these walls to come crashing down on the buildings within — burying them. The team also believes this is what helped to keep the structures so well-preserved after all these years under water.

I heard about that! This is a good compilation video I posted here some days ago, which I'm sure you missed since you haven't been here much.

First of all.. Happy 4th of July everyone!



Hope you all have a beautiful day and continue to create fireworks on your own level.Thank you for all the EQ updates, the pictures and other messages and for the well wishes. You are all golden!

Even though I haven't been on the past week, I at least try to keep a bit up to date with what is happening and am relieved to hear about Sim's grandmother and aunt at least being on the mend again. Sending love and healing thoughts to them both. And hope your allergies disappear again as well. I know from experience how annoying that can be. There seems to be so much pollen in the air here as well. I am glad I don't have Michael Jackson's nose, other wise I would have to have a box full of spare ones..

I hope everyone else is feeling well or getting better as well. I know there have been some tense situations, but if we all can keep a positive mind and support each other, we will get through anything.

My arm still bothers me, but it seems that there are days I feel it is improving. I called the doctor today and he says it could take another week. I hope he's right. It gets quite boring, having beautiful weather and not being able to do much. At least we have Wimbledon and the Tour de France and complaining never gets you nowhere, so just taking it as it comes.

Anyway, have a fantastic day and much love to all of you!
