An earthquake magnitude 7.8 shook Iran and Pakistan on Tuesday.  The center was located in Khash, Iran, but was felt 1,500 miles away!  There is a state of emergency in Iran as many buildings have collapsed.  The number of fatalities has fluctuated, but the general consensus say over 20 have died, and over 100 have been injured.  This quake comes just days after the April 9th earthquake that also took lives and left many injured.
