- ... that the 1966 Toro earthquake could be felt in six countries, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Kenya?
Created/expanded by Qrfqr (talk), Mikenorton (talk). Nominated by Carabinieri (talk) at 23:50, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- I was going to nominate this with the following hook that I now propose as an alt.
- ALT1 ... that following the 1966 Toro earthquake, more people died in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a result of a large aftershock than died in the original earthquake? Mikenorton (talk) 15:54, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
