Sizeable and tragic earthquakes struck a month apart in two different countries halfway around the world. The magnitude of the damage and loss of life has been seen in pictures and the seismic reading registered in Kentucky.
First, it was a portion of Morocco that experienced an earthquake on September 8. It resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths. Not quite a month later, on October seventh some 2,000 deaths were reported following earthquake activity in Afghanistan. Seth Carpenter is a seismologist with the Kentucky Geological Survey. He said earthquakes over the past weekend were detected in equipment inside Mammoth Cave.
