Are they getting worse than what?
Well they ain’t getting any better.
Didn’t Jesus say there would be earthquakes?
Mark 13:7-8
And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not get alarmed (troubled and frightened); it is necessary [that these things] take place, but the end is not yet.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines and calamities. This is but the beginning of the intolerable anguish and suffering [only the first of the birth pangs]
Good question.
And the answer is yes and no.
The one today was worse then the one in 1985, (8.0) and not as bad as the one in 1960 (9.5).
