Re: [Geology2] Grief, Anxiety After Twin Quakes in Iran

The quake was already striking but the birds simply perceived it before the people did.

Grief, Anxiety After Twin Quakes in Iran

Notice birds gave warning before quake?

If you are out rock collecting and the birds exit screaming then it might be time to kiss your old goose good bye?

Grief, Anxiety After Twin Quakes in Iran

Sunday August 12, 6am

From: ABC, CBC News, CBS, CTV

Twin earthquakes in Iran have killed at least 250 people and injured over 2,000, Iranian state television said on Sunday, after thousands spent the night outdoors after their villages were leveled and homes damaged in the country's northwest. ¹

Residents of the zone in northwestern Iran hit by powerful twin earthquakes described moments of terror and panic with birds crowing loudly in warning seconds before the ground shook. ²

As the death toll rose Sunday to more than 250 with entire villages leveled, rescuers called off searches for survivors and turned their attention to caring for the 16,000 people left homeless. ²

The U.S. Geological Survey reported that Saturday's first quake at 4:53 p.m. had a magnitude of 6.4 and struck 37 miles northeast of the city of Tabriz at a depth of 9.9 kilometers. ³
