It has recently reported that electromagnetic flashes of low-energy <IMG WIDTH="12" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0" src="npg-11-137-img1.gif" ALT="$gamma$">-rays emitted during multi-fracturing on a neutron star, and electromagnetic pulses emitted in the laboratory by a disordered material subjected to an increasing external load, share distinctive statistical properties with earthquakes, such as power-law energy distributions (Cheng et al., 1996; Kossobokov et al., 2000; Rabinovitch et al., 2001; Sornette and Helmstetter, 2002). The neutron starquakes may release strain energies up to <IMG WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" src="npg-11-137-img2.gif" ALT="$10^{46}$">erg, while, the fractures in laboratory samples release strain energies approximately a fraction of an erg. An earthquake fault region can build up strain energy up to approximately <IMG WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" src="npg-11-137-img3.gif" ALT="$10^{26}$">erg for the strongest earthquakes. Clear sequences of kilohertz-megahertz electromagnetic avalanches have been detected from a few days up to a few hours prior to recent destructive earthquakes in Greece. A question that arises effortlessly is if the pre-seismic electromagnetic fluctuations also share the same statistical properties. Our study justifies a positive answer. Our analysis also reveals "symptoms" of a transition to the main rupture common with earthquake sequences and acoustic emission pulses observed during laboratory experiments (Maes et al., 1998).
