    Strong earthquakes hit southern Iran, felt in Dubai

    Wwo strong earthquakes, the largest a 6.4, have struck near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, destroying a number of homes and killing at least one person, local officials and residents say. Shaking was felt as far away as Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.

    The first earthquake, which struck at 3:37 p.m. local time on Sunday (1207 GMT), was centered about 64 kilometers northwest of Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province, or 278 kilometers north of Dubai. A second earthquake hit the same area about a minute later.

    How can you tell the difference between an explosion and an earthquake on a seismogram?

    Although a 5 megaton test may have an energy release equivalent to a 6.9 magnitude earthquake, much of the effect would be local to the blast, though sensitive seismic detection apparatus may notice the shockwave event for some distance Iran is located in a geo-active area, where earthquakes of Magnitude 5 and over are not unheard of.

    I caught them yesterday from the feed, zoomed in and noticed that's an inhabited zone, not just barren desert.

    Same thing happened to China a few years ago, notice they dropped the uppity for a few years, might be time to remind them again that they ain't, same with Iran!
