Quakes confuse experts, send kids under their desks

More strangeness in Reno:

Experts are mystified by what they call a “swarm” of earthquakes hitting Reno, Nevada. 

Quakes aren’t uncommon there, but analysts just do not know what has caused 344 of them in the area in the past week, the strongest of which was magnitude 4.7.

The quakes have prompted schools to teach more emergency drills, while seismologists examine the data for clues.

No one fault line has been identified as the culprit and the pattern of the earthquakes also has scientists saying they are confused.

Tag this as “Global Warming”. Its got to be related to global warming, right?
