A powerful earthquake in southwest Pakistan killed at least 160 people early Wednesday, destroying mud homes and sending survivors screaming into the streets in panic.

At least eight villages were badly hit in the 6.4-magnitude quake, police said, warning that the death toll could climb still higher as rescue workers reached villages in the remote region bordering Afghanistan.

It struck just after 5:00 am (2300 GMT Tuesday) and left scores more people injured, local authorities said.

“Around 160 people have died so far,” said Khushal Khan, spokesman for Zamarak Khan, revenue minister of gas-rich Baluchistan province.

“The toll may go up. The dead included 29 members of the same family,” Khushal Khan added.

Famine is next. I am not talking about African countries I am talking about a famine that the entire planet will endure. I will kill people and eat them to feed me and my family. Get ready.

Global Cooling will bring about famine, not corn ethanol!
