Sidestepping the "lynch mob"
That's how many quakes occurred along the Pacific coast in the last WEEK alone (Cali/Nevada) -- according to this map: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm
Recent quakes:
Eureka, Calif - Jan 9, 2010 - 6.5
Haiti - Jan 12, 2010 - 7.0
Chile - Feb 27, 2010 - 8.8
Turkey - March 8, 2010 - 6.0
Maug Islands - March 8, 2010 - 6.0
There is the world-wide activity for this month alone: >> http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html
We know what God's Word says - Matthew 24:7 (ironically it's slang for all day, every day)
Man's opinion on all this:
LONDON – Experts say there is nothing unusual about the latest spate of earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and now Turkey, but their devastating effects illustrate how increased construction up and down the world's fault lines can translate into massive casualties.
And seismologists say that although one powerful quake can conceivably make others slightly more likely elsewhere, the string of quakes is probably just coincidence.
Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics at Durham University, said Monday that "I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end."
