That was no quake
The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program detected a quake earlier today in a region around 40 miles north of Kimchaek, North Korea. Thats roughly 670 miles from where I'm sitting right now.
Since then, it has been confirmed that it was no ordinary quake, but in fact the first test of a nuclear weapon by North Korea.
By now it should come as little surprise that the North decided to perform their first-ever nuclear test on the very day that the UN is set to vote on whether South Korea's foreign minister is to become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations.
The North always tries to upstage the South, hoping to prove to the world that their paranoid country remains relevant...
