Earthquakes were a "Coincidence" Says Scientist

Colorado, Virginia, California: three earthquakes across the United States in three days. Aside from the apocalyptic questions some are raising, was this more than an earth-trembling coincidence? Or was there some scientific connection between these three events?

First there was the magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Trinidad, Colo., the largest earthquake in the state since 1973. Then a magnitude 5.8 quake centered in Mineral, Va., jarred a region from Charleston, S.C. to Boston. Finally, there was a relatively mild 3.6 rattler in the San Francisco area Tuesday night.

What’s going on here?

Experts say that while the Colorado and East Coast earthquakes were unusual, the first one did not trigger the second. Nor did the San Francisco quake have anything to do with the two that preceded it.

“They really are unrelated,” says Meredith Nettles, a seismologist at Columbia University. “There really is no causal connection.”

“This is pure coincidence,” concurs San Diego State University seismologist Tom Rockwell.

Whew!!  That's sure a relief!!  Just a coincidence...for a while there I thought maybe something was going on there and God was trying to wake up this nation.  I guess the tornadoes, floods, famine, wars, and Israel in the news every day as war brews with Iran is also just a coincidence.  Thank goodness we can all just go back to sleep and focus on entertaining ourselves again...cuz all these disasters in the news were getting a little distracting.

Also relieved that this "Christian" magazine article has put to rest any apocalyptic concerns that some seem to be raising.

"In the Last days...there will be scoffers," Peter clearly told us.
