this will help out a bit. (folks, there have been worse quakes, worse hurricanes, worse volcanic eruptions - LONG before SUV’s - and the “gas” that we humans breath OUT, trees and plants need to live on - they breath it in and breath OUT the oxygen WE need to live on. This simple process of life USED to be taught in school.)
Anyway, here's an example of series of quakes 0 3 of which were 8’s - all in one winter - in 1811!
” This was the first of three magnitude-8 earthquakes and thousands of aftershocks to rock the region that winter. “
Winter of 1811-12 (still not out of the Little Ice Age which went to 1850) -
The place, Mississippi Valley.
It rang church bells - in BOSTON! - and was felt in Canada.
They say it will happen again. “Some scientists claim that the so-called “Big One” will not happen on the West Coast at all. Rather, a surprising number of them argue that the next sizable shake might occur along the New Madrid Fault, probably by the year 2010”
No, quakes happen, and we perceive it as something else. This planet has been doing this for billions of years, it happens.
Not the end of the world, not Jesus, not anything.
Just the Earth doing what it does.
