75 People now confirmed dead and 459 missing as a result of the big 6.6 Richters Major Earthquake that struck China with the July Full Moon high overhead! Although I do not know why the USGS posting of this Major Earthquake says 5.9 Richters. . . that is quite a ways off from all the news reports that have it listed as a 6.6 and I checked around everywhere and all the news such as L.A. Times @ http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-china-earthquake-20130723,0,1693719.story AND The Mercury News @ http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_23706841/6-6-quake-northwest-china-kills-at-least AND a long list of others all ran banner headlines of 6.6 Striking China. Here is the USGS write up like I always like to post following such an earthquake @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000ije3#summary
So, anyways the search results produced a dozen news sources with basically the same banner headline of 6.6, including Newsday and China Daily with one I see listing the death toll at 94!!! I will update if I come up with any leads as to why there is such a wide discrepancy. I scrolled all down through ALL the latest earthquakes and that 5.9 was the only notable one posted for that region back all through seven days, so that confirms the USGS side of the story and I do not recall having got an original so huge with a correction anywhere along the way either.
Finally while that now supposedly larger than ever expected Major China Earthquake did already happen under the July 2013 Full Moon we will now need to look beyond that for the continued movement of that shaky Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate for that probably still upcoming Major Mega-Thruster around Mandalay and Sumatra. IF that one was it, and there is an update coming on the magnitude, then of course it will reduce the chance of it but until then we will need to keep watching and our West Coast is out there in the distance along the shaky, shaky, shaky Pacific Tectonic Plate!!!!!
