Looks like a big jump there!
But 2009 looks like it went down drastically, and this year isn’t going to be much higher from last year it seems??
But on the average these past 2 decades, yes it, the earth, has been much more active!
Interesting and thanks!

My husband just called me about this and reminded me that China had an incident like this and shortly thereafter, an earthquake happened. Great, just what the Greeks need.

Hi Virginia
This also occurred in Italy last year
Major Earthquake to hit Greece, if you can believe the frogs.It is a well known fact that when frogs flood an area then there is a major earthquake on the way, at least that is what history shows us. Last year in Italy frogs started to gather days before a major earthquake hit Italy and killed almost 300 people.
