Random Thoughts
Have you noticed the unusual number of earthquakes?I’m a little late with this post but several days ago, I had heard about the recent large earthquakes off Japan and in the Indian Ocean threatening areas around them with tsunami warnings. There was also one off Baja California as well.
So I opened up Google Earth to take a look at what was going on since I have the USGS Real-time Earthquake plug-in installed that gives you a legend off to the side that shows earthquakes that happened in the last hour, day, and week. I noticed that Google Earth was taking a long time to load but I was not prepared for what I was to find. The news media had not even told us the half of it.
I’ve been watching these things for several years now and while there are a lot of historical earthquakes, more often than not, when they occur they happen here and there over a long period of time and will group around major fault lines. I saw a lot more new earthquakes than usual and most of them very recent and many are now scrolling off being that they are over a week old now.
As I was looking around I noticed that Alaska and the Aleutian Islands had a huge cluster of brand new “small earthquakes”(since the beginning of August) and then I noticed down the North American coast that California and thereabouts and clusters more had happened since the beginning of August. Also, earthquakes occurred in many of the western US states in the same time period along with the Missouri Bootheel and eastern Tennessee. Many of these were fairly small so size wasn’t the thing that was standing out here.
I noticed over by Haiti and the Dominican Republic there was a rash of them there as well. Back over by the Philippines, the same thing, not as many but they were stronger. In fact, as I’m writing this several significant quakes have just popped onto the map there that has happened in the last hour. And on down the fault line to Fiji on its way to New Zealand. Also, China and Russia, the Caspian Sea, Iran, Greece, Turkey, and Poland. Central and South American was not excluded. Mexico, off the coast of Guatemala, Colombia, western Argentina, even in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Just about every major fault was active to some degree… in a relatively short period of time … since Aug 1.
This seems quite out of the ordinary. Most of them are in predictable places but not so many spread over a large area in such a short time.
Just thought you’d like to know…

Yes, three in the Kanto Plain area in the past week. Definitely gets your attention.
This is fascinating—disturbing. Important. What’s the activity been like in recent days? Has it continued?

Hi, BooksForMe, After being away from my computer for a week, I just checked on this again. The multitudes of small earthquakes happening in clusters in the US (and elsewhere)is continuing. I’ve never seen it show so many of these things happening in the same day, and continues every day. It has been “hit and miss” and scattered about in previous times. A massive release of that much stress is likely to cause something really big to happen elsewhere since so much of the pressure that’s been contained is now being released. It could set up a very large earthquake elsewhere in the world once enough of these smaller ones has let loose. And curiously enough, a great earthquake is predicted in the “sixth seal” in Revelation but just keep on watching… we’ll see if it comes to something. Blessings, Mr.Vee
