An earthquake struck early Sunday morning about 60 miles south of Simferopol, in Russian-occupied Crimea. The proximity to the crisis in Ukraine sparked internet speculation ranging from a possible nuclear blast, to underwater/ground activity and HAARP interference.
The quake was a minor rumble less than 20 miles off the southern coast, reported between 3.2 and 3.8 magnitude. Reports on the depth varied from 80 kilometers deep, settling between 30 or 40km.
Via Global Incident Map The quake comes at a tense moment for the region as a press conference was held by some local officials who were not very urgent to have the Russians leave the region.
RT.com Ukraine’s autonomous republic of Crimea wants Kiev to stay out of its business, and put its own house in order instead, the Crimean parliament speaker has said, adding that local authorities can take care of local business without the capital. “You in Kiev sort it out between yourselves, and we will deal with the republic’s problems,” Vladimir Konstantinov told a news conference. Most of the Crimean law enforcement and military share this point of view, Konstantinov warned. They also support the local self-defense forces, who are basically people who were scared for their lives and their families in the wake of the violence in Kiev and the anti-Russian gestures of the new authorities. The speaker advised Kiev against using force to attempt to take control of Crimea or any other region resisting it. He said such a move would end with the new authorities having no region to call their own in Ukraine.
Some found it strange that the US Geological Survey did not have any data on the earthquake.

@KevinRothrock I saw there was a 3.8 earthquake in Crimea region just a little while ago. Hear anything about it? Sure it was really an EQ?

Are you sure these are natural earthquakes of HAARP weather weapon anomalies?

Jeez, as if there isn’t enough fear porn about this (and genuine concern), someone has to come up with some nuclear HAAARP bull crap
The super extreme storm in CA, after months of drought, seems more like a HAARP weather manipulation gone bad…can they really target a spot and cause an earthquake, I have my doubts.
It’s interesting, these no sign of it on the USGS monitor, however the European maps show it! 2 in fact.
