Third Major Earthquake Near New Zealand Prompts Tsunami Alerts
Weather Nation ^ | March 4, 2021 | staff

Posted on 03/04/2021 6:22:56 PM PST by Norski

Update: A third large earthquake has struck north of New Zealand. An 8.1 magnitude happened near the Kermadec Islands Region around 11:30 PT. The epicenter is very close to the 7.4 preliminary magnitude earthquake that ruptured along the same fault as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck early Friday local time. The second two, likely larger earthquakes, happened within hours after the first, but ruptured about 500 miles (800 km) farther from New Zealand’s North Island.

The latest, largest quake prompted Tsunami Alerts across the Pacific, including American Samoa and Hawaii. These alerts are in addition to Tsunami Alerts for New Zealand.

Sounds like NZ is about to get a new volcano!

Perhaps it is a warning to all those moneyed persons who are going there to hide from the woes of this earth.

Isaiah 2: 19-21

“19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.. . “ . .

Getting Biblical.

I'm not an expert but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Over the years (about 27 or so) I have noticed that the ring of fire has "4 Corners" of activity.

If a 7.X hits in New Zealand then a quake of approximately the same magnitude hits Japan. After that quake, the next 7.X is in South America then the final "corner is in the North American area typically from the bay area to Alaska in range.

Mechanically it makes sense if the Pacific plate is slowly rotating that stresses would build up where the plate boundaries change direction. Then when one "corner" slips it puts stresses on another "corner".

Would the antipode to these quakes be the Azores? You know, where a big undersea slide would set off huge tsunamis in the Atlantic?

Crust displacement is a hypothesis put forward by Charles Hapgood (1904—1982). In short, it asserts that sometimes the Earth spins really fast and the continents rearrange.

Hapgood came up with this well before Plate Tectonics science was developed in the 60s.

Don’t forget all the plastics. Mountains of plastic on land and large plastic patches in the oceans (big chunks and micro beads). We are doomed. All bow to the environmental warriors. If you don’t mother Gaia will knock you to your knees.

” Yes, the trend seems to be the earthquakes becoming larger and larger over time” .

Well what do you expect, with all the Capitalist White Supremacist Terrrorist Global Warming?

I think a major earthquake has been predicted to hit the West coast by March 6.

In a year or two there is a total eclipse that comes across the United States. If Alaska, Seattle, and California have not had any action before then it might be expected to have a big one then.

Good article here:

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/earthquake-swarm-north-island-tsunami-warning-lifted-after-81-shake-evacuees-return-home/OOON3VQ4G75ENH7VASABKYUTBM/

But I have to admit that the mayor of Whakatane displayed some mind-blowing ignorance about her own town...

My extended family has 8 people in the Whakatane area.

Just got off the phone after being called through normal cell tower service.

The evacuation of the area most of you do not know.

There are only TWO roads (Goat Tracks) leading in and out of Whakatane.

Whenever there is Any warning the first thing that happens is that both roads gridlock and stop all traffic flow, it never fails.

The numbers being tossed about seem to differ from those being stated in the area by NZ on the web, they sort of have a great setup for reporting such thinks, have done for a while.

Zero visible or reported “tsunami” events.

Any thing that would hit them would have to be about 5 meters high, after that gravity likes to drag the wave flat.

Safest place family was in is at the Hospital.

The joke there is maybe they need to feed the Volcano more tourists.

Do not blame me, the kiwis’ laugh at those silly enough to go walk on an active site, and it is well known that if it is active it is going to kill you. The Kiwi mindset is practical, and no hesitation to make fun of the Darwin Award winners.

In closing, if it really does go BOOM there, NZ will either look like the Himalayas, or will become the next Atlantis, there is no in between.

Blessings.

The Cash family/estate said no.
