At least 8 people have been killed by two earthquakes in Lorca, Murcia (southern Spain). The first earthquake (4.5 Mw) happened at 17.05 local time (15.05), and the second, of 5.3 Mw, happened at 18.47 local time (16.47 UTC).The 5.3 Mw quake has been reported by USGS to be quite shallow (1 km deep) and has occurred at some 160 southewest of Murcia. This is the most serious earthaquake in Spain in the last half century.
The nearly pure strike-slip solution for the focal mechanism is rela
ted with the interaction between the Iberian and the African plates.

Hola Jorge! Disculpa que introduzca estos temas aquí pero ya no te veo por Magonia. Me interesaría mucho tu opinión acerca de una magufada geológica: el cráter Patom.
Te dejo un enlace al tema en el blog de Lamentira. A ver si puedes echar algo de luz... si te apetece.
