Earthquake near Alicante! Maria?

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Maria, are you OK?

Seven people were killed Wednesday when an earthquake struck southeastern Spain, the central government's chief representative in the region told National Spanish Radio.

The 5.3-magnitude quake occurred at 4:47 p.m. (10:47 a.m. ET) and was centered about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of Murcia, near the Mediterranean coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said. That is about 350 kilometers (218 miles) south-southeast of Madrid.

It was preceded at 3:05 p.m. by a 4.5-magnitude temblor centered in the same area, the survey said.

At least one of the deaths occurred in a building collapse in the town of Lorca, state-run EFE said.

(Alicante is 82.3 km from Murcia, according to Google Maps!)

Thank you for the concern Rev.
We are very near Murcia but we felt the 'replicas' here in Alicante a little. I have cousins in Lorca but they are OK. 10 people deads though.

Mr McUinnean is in Murcia near the epicentro but I haven't hear nothing bad of Murcia, only Lorca.

Perhaps my idea of God like Spain was a little fool after all. If so, I'm sorry.

YiC, Mari.

Oh I KNOW that Jesus hates those greasy little garlick-eating dago bastards. Look for them to be wiped out, utterly.

I heard the Spaniards threw off both the Muslims AND the Cathoholics. Wouldn't you think they have potential? Particularly the lovely ladies from certain coastal towns?

Perhaps a Mission to Spain is in order!
