Inland, probably no tsunami.

Well, if I followed the arguments from the wizards at the EPA, they must be fracking.

Running through my head: “I fell in to a burning ring of fire...”

The ring has been heating up this past month.

Is the Ring of Fire getting more active? In the last year earthquakes in Japan, Mexico, Chile, and volcanoes in Japan, Russia, Alaska, and Mexico.

Watch out California.

I’ve been reading some chat from other forums that the seismologists are getting concerned about the Cascadia subduction plates.....Pacific northwest. That and the New Madrid fault are the ones that really worry me........and then, there’s the Yellowstone caldera.

There’s been a perfectly normal number of large (M 7.0+) earthquakes so far this year.

Funny how nobody was posting in February when there wasn’t much EQ activity “Hey, there’s no large earthquakes.”

yeah sure, whatever you say. all i know is every day there are usually a number of headlines on my news aggregator about an earthquake somewhere I never heard of.

I don't qualify by magnitude, however.

exactly my thoughts. Living in Los Angeles makes me very aware of the ring of fire.

I agree.

A quake makes the news, and we react as if this doesn’t happen very often.

There are literally hundreds of earthquakes a day, round the world.

EQ activity has not increased, on average, for a very, very long time.

The internet has made it so that we can get news from around the world, and we are more ‘aware’ of Earthquakes that used to be known only locally.

The fact that these earthquakes (and they are increasing) are happening at the same time and in conjunction with every other sign Christ gave for His return gives them extreme importance.

You are correct.

This may be a safe assumption, however it by no means precludes the possibility of increased earthquake activity.

Do you have evidence for that?
