California Fault Lines and the Area
Around Yellowstone Are Shaking Like Crazy
Scientists
tell us that we are actually way overdue for such a quake and accompanying
tsunami. When it comes, large numbers of Americans that are clustered right
along the coastline may die.
Over the past few days the mainstream media has
been fixated on the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, but meanwhile there has been highly unusual
seismic activity along major fault lines in California and near the Yellowstone
supervolcano.
Let's talk about Yellowstone first. In recent
months, the big geysers have been behaving very strangely. And now, just over
the past week there have been three very significant earthquakes in the region.
On June 9, there was a magnitude 3.7 earthquake, on June 13 there was a
magnitude 4.3 earthquake and earlier today there was a magnitude 4.0
earthquake.
Yes, the area around Yellowstone is hit by
earthquakes all the time, but most of them are extremely small. For earthquakes
of this size to be striking right around Yellowstone is highly unusual and more
than just a little bit alarming.
This map comes directly from the USGS, and it shows all of the earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater
that have hit the western portion of the United States over the last week. The
three big earthquakes that struck southwestern Montana are visible on the map,
although they are hard to see because the dots all overlap. But the main reason
why I am showing you this map is because I want you to see all of the
earthquakes that have been happening along the major fault lines in southern
California in recent days.
The biggest was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake that
hit an area northeast of San Diego on Friday. The following comes from NBC Los Angeles:
A magnitude-5.2 earthquake centered in the desert northeast of San
Diego caused shaking early Friday morning across Southern California.
The earthquake occurred at about 1 a.m. northwest of Borrego Springs
in San Diego County, according to the USGS. The earthquake was initially
reported with a magnitude of 5.1 before it was revised to 5.2, according to the
USGS.
But that earthquake was not the end of it by
any means. It is being reported that this large quake was followed by at least 800 aftershocks.
Yes, we normally expect there to be aftershocks
after a large quake, but to have that many is very, very unusual.
The quakes that have been striking farther
north off the coast of northern California and Oregon are also of great concern
as well. Just recently, I wrote about the fact that the federal government has been conducting
drills that
have attempted to simulate the response to a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia Subduction
Zone earthquake. If such an earthquake were to strike at this moment, the
damage caused would be incalculable.
And the USGS has confirmed that such an
earthquake is very possible and that it "would
likely trigger huge tsunami waves" ...
The USGS has worryingly confirmed the same computer models show it
is capable of producing an earthquake with a magnitude up to 9.3, which would
likely trigger huge tsunami waves.
This would be more powerful than the magnitude 9 tsunami-causing
quake that hit Japan in 2011, claiming thousands of lives and taking out
nuclear reactors.
Worse still, many scientists say the US is not yet prepared to deal
with such a natural disaster, and it could strike at an time.
Scientists tell us that we are actually way
overdue for such a quake and accompanying tsunami. When it comes, large numbers
of Americans that are clustered right along the coastline will die.
Why all of this is of greater concern now is
due to the fact that many areas along the "Ring of Fire" that roughly
encircles the Pacific Ocean are roaring to life right now.
For example, just today the biggest volcano in
Eurasia sent hot ash more than 3 miles into the air ...
Eurasia's
largest volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka in Russia's Far East erupted shooting hot
ash miles into the air on Tuesday, the local geophysical service said.
"The eruption was detected [Tuesday] morning...the eruption
column rose 6 kilometers [3.7 miles]. The steam-gas plume stretched for 47
kilometers to the west of the volcano," a representative of the Russian agency told RIA Novosti.
And down in New Zealand, there is evidence that
a brand new major volcano may be in the process of forming under a small town ...
Beneath Matata, a small coastal town 125 miles from Auckland, on New
Zealand's North Island, scientists recently discovered a massive magma
build-up, possibly signaling the beginnings of a new volcano.
But oddly, this magma chamber is nowhere near an active volcano.
According to geophysicist Ian Hamling, since
1950 an incredible influx of magma – enough to fill 80,000 Olympic-sized
swimming pools – has accumulated beneath the small New Zealand town, pushing up
the surface of the ground by 40 cm (16 inches).
In my new book titled The
Rapture Verdict I
talk about how Jesus prophesied that we would see a great increase in seismic
activity in the last days, and that is precisely what is taking place.
The crust of our planet is becoming
increasingly unstable, and we have seen a series of very disturbing earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions so far in 2016.
Here in the United States, in recent weeks we
have seen very large earthquake swarms develop under Mt. Hood, Mt Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens
simultaneously.
Perhaps you don't think that this is significant, but many of the experts sure
do.
At some point there will be major earthquakes
along the west coast.
Scientists tell us that it is just a matter of
time before we see these things.
Unfortunately for all of us, these things may
start happening with a frequency and an intensity that none of us are
expecting.
