Concern Grows That a Megaquake Is Going to Hit the
Middle of the United States
10:00AM EDT 9/9/2016 MICHAEL SNYDER
Did
you know that Oklahoma was just hit by the largest earthquake ever recorded in
the history of the state?
And
did you know that Oklahoma absolutely shattered their yearly record for
earthquakes in 2015 and may break it again this year? According to the USGS,
the number of significant earthquakes in the eastern and central sections of
the nation has more than
quintupled in recent years, and concern
is growing that we could soon see a "megaquake" in the middle part of
the country.
Of
course no discussion of megaquakes in the middle part of the country can leave
out the New Madrid fault zone, which is approximately six times larger than the
San Andreas fault zone in California.
Scientists
assure us that the New Madrid fault is around 30 years overdue for
a major seismic event, and when it does happen, it is going to be the biggest
disaster in modern American history up to this point.
Late
last month, eight states took part in a major drill that simulated what the
damage from a New Madrid earthquake might look like. The following comes from a
news report that was posted on Aug. 24.
Eight
states are taking part in a multi-state disaster drill Wednesday.
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas all took part in the
"Show Me Mass Care Exercise" to practice how they would react during
a major earthquake along the new Madrid Fault Line, which is a major source of
earthquakes in the Midwest and south.
As
I mentioned above, the New Madrid fault zone is about six times bigger than the
San Andreas fault zone, and because of the nature of the earth's crust in the
region, a New Madrid earthquake would be felt in most of the nation.
In
fact, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources says that earthquakes along
the New Madrid fault "shake and
damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in
California."
Due
to the harder, colder, drier and less fractured nature of the rocks in the
earth's crust in the central United States, earthquakes
in this region shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than
earthquakes in California and most other active seismic areas.
Even
though large earthquakes occur much less frequently in the NMSZ than in
California, the long term average quake threat, in terms of square miles
affected per century, is about the same because of the approximately 20 times
larger area affected in the central United States.
Back
in 1811 and 1812, a series of earthquakes along the New Madrid fault were so
powerful that they actually cracked sidewalks in Washington D.C. and rang
church bells in Boston. Testimony from eyewitnesses to those earthquakes sounds like something from a
post-apocalyptic science fiction novel.
The
Midwest was sparsely populated, and deaths were few. But 8-year-old Godfrey
Lesieur saw the ground "rolling in waves." Michael Braunm observed
the river suddenly rise up "like a great loaf of bread to the height of
many feet."
Sections
of riverbed below the Mississippi rose so high that part of the river ran
backward. Thousands of fissures ripped open fields, and geysers burst from the
earth, spewing sand, water, mud and coal high into the air.
In
those days, not many people lived in the middle of the country.
What
in the world would such an earthquake look like today?
I
also want to point out that there are 15 nuclear reactors sitting
inside the New Madrid fault zone, so if a megaquake did hit the region, we
could be looking at Fukushima times 15.
And
the earthquakes in Oklahoma (not a part of the New Madrid fault zone) just
continue to get bigger and bigger. The USGS now says that the earthquake on
Sept. 3 was the largest ever
recorded in the history of the state.
The
earthquake that shook Pawnee, Oklahoma, on Sept. 3 is now the state's largest
temblor on record, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which just upgraded
the magnitude to 5.8.
The earthquake was
previously pegged at magnitude 5.6. But further analysis of the seismic
recordings from the event found the quake size to have a bigger moment
magnitude, according to the USGS.
As
I sit here writing this article, a magnitude 3.0
earthquake struck near Perry, Oklahoma,
just about an hour ago.
In
the old days, you would never think of Oklahoma as a place that was at risk for
major earthquakes.
Unfortunately,
those days are long gone.
In
the title of this article, I suggested that concern is growing that a megaquake
may soon come to the middle of the country. The science definitely seems to
back this up, but in addition there are people all over the nation that are
having very unusual dreams and visions about such an event. One example of this
phenomenon is minister Augusto
Perez.
"The burden of the LORD came
upon me on Sunday night July 3rd, the day after we got back home from a mission
trip. On the next day Fourth of July, I was still under a very heavy burden the
whole day. As I was quietly sitting at my desk trying to do some work, the Holy
Spirit would not leave me alone. It became so intense that I knew that I had to
get up and go to my prayer closet immediately to meet with the LORD. I began to
travail before the LORD with groans and moans while I was praying in my prayer
language. His Presence grew so strong as I have felt at other times when He
really wanted me to go get alone with Him and intercede. I continued to pray
for a while until the burden lifted.
After the burden of the LORD had
lifted, I continued to pray on my face when I
saw a vision of a large angel of the LORD with a large sword and he plunged it
into the heartland of America. As he did, blood started coming out from the
ground where his sword had been plunged into.
After I saw this vision, my travailing prayer grew more intense as I began to
plead with the LORD regarding what He had just shown me. I felt much grief and
sadness in my spirit while this was going on. Even now, I am still grieving and
great sadness fills my spirit. As I continued to pray, then I heard the voice
of the LORD say to me: "THERE IS NO MORE TIME, MY SON".
But
of course Augusto Perez is far from alone. My wife was sent a dream by a woman
named Rebecca Barnes that seems to indicate that the big New Madrid earthquake
will strike after we divide the
land of Israel.
In
the dream I had I was above the USA, I could see all the trees and mountain
ranges. I seen a spear come out of the sky, it pierced southern MO and ripped
it down all the way to the gulf through Louisiana.
Then
I saw it rip up through to the Great Lakes.
I
saw St. Louis MO sink under the ground.
It
opened in width from St. Louis to hwy 127.
I
heard the following exact word's in my spirit "if
they divide my land, I will divide their nation"
Of
course this fits perfectly with what I told an
international television audience last
month.
Over
the past week, a previous article
that I did about the coming New Madrid earthquake has
gone megaviral. The Most Important News has
gotten more traffic than ever before, and I believe that there is a reason why
this old article has suddenly struck such a chord.
There
are lots and lots of people out there that believe that the time for the New
Madrid megaquake is drawing very close. If you are not familiar with these
things, this may sound very strange to you. But the truth is that God has been
showing people what is coming literally for decades, and now there seems to be
a tremendous amount of urgency in the air.
So
let us hope and pray that it does not happen any time soon, but without a doubt
our planet is becoming increasingly unstable and we live in very unusual times.
