Journal of No. 118

"It looks like right after Boston there was a HUGE earthquake that hit the Taliban stronghold on the border of Iran & Pakistan. This may remove any doubt as to who was responsible for the Boston bombing."

I am not even going to touch the logic of this argument.

But I will point out that the earthquake that hit the Taliban stronghold was in January 2011 along the Afghan-Pakistan border. The 7.8 yesterday was indeed the Iran-Pakistan border.

Maybe God was punishing the Taliban in advance.

There was a quick jolt this morning, just as I was heading out the door for work. I went over and refresh-refresh-refreshed the USGS page, but didn't see anything. Checking back now, I see a massive 2.4 magnitude earthquake at 08:13:17 AM.
The epicenter was 34.011N 118.410W, roughly at Culver and the 405, so just a couple miles away.
