How much shaking is it going to take before most of the population starts paying attention? The ground underneath our feet just keeps shaking. Nobody can deny this. As you will see below, there has been a long list of large earthquakes that have hit our planet over the past week, and this is something that I have been writing about a lot in recent days. What we are experiencing is not normal, and many believe that all of this shaking is just a preview of what is to come.
On Monday morning, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake suddenly struck approximately 140 miles off the coast of Oregon…
The Pacific’s notorious ‘Ring of Fire’ has delivered another jolt amid a recent burst of seismic activity around the globe’s most earthquake-prone region. The US Geological Survey detected a magnitude 5.5 earthquake roughly 140 miles west of the Oregon coast at around 7:35am ET Monday. The earthquake struck deep beneath the Pacific Ocean and there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. No tsunami warning was issued, although residents in Salem and Rockaway Beach reported feeling the shaking.
The reason why this was such a noteworthy quake is because it occurred along the Cascadia Subduction Zone…
The quake occurred along a tectonically active stretch of the Pacific coastline, part of the broader Cascadia Subduction Zone known for producing both frequent moderate events and the potential for far larger ones.
This is one of the most dangerous fault zones in the entire world.
It sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, and it has the potential to cause seismic events of cataclysmic proportions.
Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before a gigantic earthquake occurs along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and I have repeatedly warned about what this will mean for those living near the coasts of Oregon and Washington once this happens…
Someday, an absolutely gigantic earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone will send a colossal wall of water toward the west coast of the United States. We are talking about a disaster that would be greater than anything we have ever experienced in the entire history of our country so far, and scientists are openly warning us that it is just a matter of time before such a disaster happens. It is being projected that the wall of water could be up to 100 feet tall, and it will cause extreme devastation. Tall buildings will be instantly flattened, vehicles will be picked up and tossed around like toys, and countless numbers of people will instantly go to their watery graves. If you are directly in the path of such a tsunami, there will be no escape.
Do you remember the huge tsunami that hit Japan in 2011?
The tsunami that will eventually hit the west coast will absolutely dwarf that.
This latest earthquake off the coast of Oregon comes just days after a magnitude 5.6 earthquake hit Northern California and a pair of very large earthquakes caused catastrophic damage in Venezuela…
This comes after a 5.6 magnitude earthquake rattled Northern California and major back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela last Wednesday.
Days later, heightened seismic activity across the Pacific Ring of Fire brought earthquakes to Japan, the Philippines, and Nicaragua on Friday.
It is almost as if something has just suddenly snapped.
Over the past 7 days, we have witnessed a very long list of large earthquakes all over the world…
That is a stunning list.
And the shaking just won’t stop.
In fact, Venezuela just got hit by some more very big aftershocks…
Strong aftershocks have struck Venezuela’s capital as rescuers continue to search for tens of thousands of civilians who are still missing in the aftermath of two violent earthquakes.
The aftershock was felt shortly after 7.00am (11.00am GMT) in Caracas and La Guaira on Monday, as the search continues for survivors of last Wednesday’s quakes that have already claimed at least 1,450 lives.
It would be difficult to overstate the scale of the tragedy that we are witnessing in Venezuela.
At this stage, nearly 70,000 people have been reported missing…
The death toll from Venezuela’s twin earthquakes has risen to 1,430, with families reporting at least 68,900 people missing. The toll continued to climb even after the 72-hour window for rescuing survivors alive closed Saturday, while anger over the government’s response intensified in some of the hardest-hit areas.
I have a feeling that the vast majority of those that have been reported missing were killed by the earthquakes.
Many of them will never be found.
As our planet continues to become even more unstable, there will be even larger earthquakes.
One of the biggest danger zones is right in the middle of the United States, and very early on Monday a magnitude 3.5 earthquake rattled southern Illinois…
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a magnitude 3.5 earthquake registered at 1:05 a.m. in northwest Edwards County, just south of the Richland County line.
This is close to the Illinois-Indiana border.
USGS reports the epicenter was 3.7 miles northeast of West Salem and measured 11.8 miles deep.
I asked Google if West Salem is close to the New Madrid Fault Zone, and this is what I was told…
Yes, West Salem, Illinois, is in a region considered at risk from the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the nearby Wabash Valley Seismic Zone.
I believe that this was another warning.
This earthquake caused so much shaking that it was actually felt in St. Louis and Louisville…
So far, the USGS says hundreds of people have reported feeling shaking across a wide stretch as far west as St. Louis, Missouri, as north as Effingham, Illinois, as south as Evansville, Indiana and as east as Louisville, Kentucky.
The largest earthquakes in the history of the continental United States occurred along the New Madrid Fault Zone.
Now the New Madrid Fault Zone is waking up again.
One of these days, a colossal earthquake will literally rip the country in half from north to south. The scar that will be created in the middle of the nation will be so deep that the Great Lakes will actually flow into the Gulf of Mexico. Since all of the existing bridges will be destroyed, you will actually need to take a boat ride or a flight if you want to travel from the eastern half of the country to the western half of the country.
But most of the population is not alarmed by the shaking that we are currently witnessing at all.
They have been assured that all of this shaking is just temporary and that things will soon return to normal.
Of course the truth is that there will be no return to normal.
Chaos is erupting all over the planet, and I believe that the second half of this year will be even more chaotic than the first half.
