    That’s a fair amount of activity in the area of Mt. Etna, especially the bigger quake at the fairly shallow depth. If I were a Sicilian I think that I’d get out of Dodge!

    Correct me if I am wrong…but I get a feeling that the rumbles Italy and surrounding regions are experiencing could correlate with deep (and in some places, shallow) volcanic activity (magma movements/pressures). Let’s hope it’s not a prelude to a serious volcanic eruption in this area.
