An earthquake measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale was recorded yesterday by the Geophysical Institute of Israel. The epicenter of the quake was the Dead Sea.

Quakes of this magnitude, defined as `often felt, but rarely causing damage,' occur several times a year in Israel, and the only tangible effects of yesterday's seismic activity was on the sensitive recording equipment at the GII's hundred or so seismic monitoring systems throughout Israel. Nonetheless, all the experts are certain that Israel will, sooner or later, be hit by an earthquake of at least the same magnitude as the one that devastated the Iranian city of Bam last month.

1. To those who honestly don't know,

earthquakes of low magnitudes are NORMAL.

2. Heck the last few weeks

quakes of great magnitude are becoming normal.

The gods must be angry.

3. I believe it states that in the quoted paragraph.
