The latitude is very close to the Iranian quakes...
There was a thread quite a while back (sorry not sure how to dig it up now, can't remember the details of it) that mentioned a line around the globe that ran through these areas as well as Japan, the upper-west coast of the US, etc.

That would have been this thread...
What is happening at 37.75N latitude?
But this "theory" only works if you
1. Include anything in the 30something latitude, such as this current 35.681 degree quake as being "significant".
2. Exclude almost every other thing on, such as the multitudes of quakes in the south east asian area of the pacific "ring of fire" and all the ones in the Chile area... and most everything else as well. The 6.7 in Mauritius two weeks ago would certainly have to be ignored completely.

Will we see more today?
We have one like that in the states here in US.... We will see lots a damage and casualties.
Also, really hope these quakes are not blamed on the US! They think we are satan and we have the weaponry to do this kind of stuff.

I'm willing to bet that is one quake listed 4 times. The time is the same, within 1 second. The magnitude is the same and it's 3 very different agencies reporting on each of 3 of the 4. Maybe Australia double posted..
Heck... One that size is still nothing to sneeze at. Especially with all the other activity. I'm not sure if it was the West coast thread a couple days ago or the Iran quake thread where people were talking about stress off one fault line possibly adding to others. Kinda odd... Not enough to prove anything, I know...but lets hope this ends now and isn't just the first runs of an ongoing series. (Nervously looks East to the New Madrid, a couple hundred miles away)
