AMATRICE, Italy — A strong earthquake in central Italy reduced three towns to rubble as people slept early Wednesday, killing at least 73 people and injuring hundreds more as rescue crews raced to dig out survivors with bulldozers and their bare hands. • PHOTOS: Devastation after earthquake strikes Italy The toll was likely to rise as crews reached homes in more remote hamlets where the scenes were apocalyptic “like Dante’s Infeo,” according to one witness. Complicating matters was that the area is a popular vacation spot in summer, with populations swelling, making the number of people in the area at the time difficult to estimate. “The town isn’t here anymore,” said Sergio Pirozzi, the ma...

The father of Cal State Long Beach student Nohemi Gonzalez, killed in the Nov. 13 Paris terror attacks, is suing Google, Facebook and Twitter, alleging the social media giants have aided ISIS and other groups by allowing them to use their chaels to recruit members and coordinate attacks. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Northe Califoia, alleges the three companies “use their social networks as a tool for spreading extremist propaganda, raising funds and attracting new recruits.” The lawyer representing Nohemi’s father, Reynaldo Gonzalez, said this case is not about free speech, but about creating communication conduits that allow ISIS and other terror groups to plan, coo...

Friday’s early-moing wake-up call courtesy of a moderate earthquake in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park was triggered by a hitch on a feisty fault that slices through populated areas of Inland Southe Califoia. And the question some are asking in the wake of the 5.2 magnitude shaker centered 15 miles southeast of Anza: Could it unleash a far more damaging quake under Hemet or Moreno Valley or San Beardino? You probably can guess the answer. Scientists don’t know. “We can’t say anything based on this moing’s event, beyond the fact that we are going to have aftershocks,” Jeifer Andrews, a seismologist at the Califoia Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in a phone interview Friday. Andrews ...

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit just after 1 a.m. Friday moing south of Palm Springs according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The agency’s website said the trembler hit at 1:04 a.m. and was centered at 13.7 miles north-northwest of Borrego Springs, 14.9 miles east-southeast of Anza, and 26.7 miles south of Palm Springs. Between 1:06 and 1:33 a.m. four more quakes ranging in size from 3.5 to 2.8 hit in the same general area. “San Jacinto is historically most active fault in SoCal. Today’s EQ near locations of M6 in 1937 and M5.3 in 1980,” tweeted seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, USGS Scientist Emerita. The USGS received reports of people feeling the temblor from as far away as San Diego, Beaumont...

PALM SPRINGS >> A moderate earthquake hit the Palm Springs area early Friday and was felt across parts of Southe Califoia. The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 5.2 temblor struck at 1:04 a.m. PDT and was centered about 20 miles south of Rancho Mirage. USGS geophysicist Amy Vaughan says there have already been a series of aftershocks. She says that it was strong enough to likely have woken people up. Facebook and other social media sites carried reports from people in San Diego and Los Angeles, about 100 miles to the west, reporting that they felt it. Rancho Mirage is in Riverside County about 10 miles south of Palm Springs. Advertisement Let's block ads! بخوانید...
