An earthquake hit the eastcoast yesterday in West Virgina and it was the second biggest earthquake recorded in their history. It's weird because, normally, earthquakes don't hit the eastcoast they hit areas like California and Japan! So, Mr. Brun's has us googeling if there is any possible way there could be an earthquake in Iowa, or Harlan more specifically! I found out that the most recent one in Shenendoah in 2004. And, it is possible for Harlan to have an earthquake, but it isn't as likely has other states or countires that are closer to a plate which mostly cause these because they shift. There is also a predictied hurricane, hurricane Ilene, to an island called Hispanola that contains the dominican republic.How do you think that a news organization can verify conflicting reports received from a war zone?
