The Earth Trembles

With all the recent earthquakes, people are increasingly concerned about the coming times. Many believe these are just the start to more earthquakes to come within the next few years or even months.

All these earthquakes may just be part of earth's natural cyclical cycle. 1918 was indeed a noticeable year in terms of devastating earthquakes. Interestingly enough, it was also the year marking the end of World War I. As the 100 year mark approaches, Earth may be entering into another one of its cycles.

Conspiracy theorists may consider other reasons for these quakes. A week before the devastating quake in Haiti, there was a similar quake off the coast of California in a town called Eureka. Eureka also happens to be the title to a SciFi TV show about secret government experiments of extremely high technology and capability.

The focus here is that these large quakes are occurring off the coasts of islands and mainlands. Could there possibly be some submarine equipped with a secret weapon capable of creating such earthquakes? Who knows... But let's look at the various locations.

Eureka, California - Haiti, Chile, Cuba, Turkey, Los Angeles, California, and Illinois. Those most notable on the coasts were in Haiti and Chile. And both aimed at the capital cities of these two countries. Interesting? I think so. The U.S. has had past interests in the political system of Chile. The fact that the new president elect was to enter into office in those very days is an interesting point.

Nonetheless; the question here is, will there be more quakes? Puerto Rico is one island expecting a Tsunami anytime now. They faced a large quake in 1918 causing much destruction. Had they been as advanced as California during their 1918 quake, the devastation would have been similarly worse.

As the Maya and scientists predict the change in Earth's magnetic fields, their explanation of effects such as strong quakes is of no consolation. As we approach the year 2012; and if both the Maya and scientists are correct, the coming quakes will be something to worry about.

While these occurrences may catch us by surprise, they are not to be unexpected. Earthquakes are a natural occurrence on this planet called Earth. While sporadic and rare, I would not call them tragedies. Tragedies only occur when man thinks himself immune to what nature has already depicted as fact. To be unprepared is foolish. To think yourself immune is naivety.
