Massive Quake Hits Chile
Talk about a whole bunch of quakes hitting planet earth! Now here is another massive one rocking Chile.
A magnitude-8.2 earthquake struck Tuesday evening off northern Chile, triggering a small tsunami for the South American coast and leaving, according to a report, at least five dead.
The dead were four men and one woman who died of either heart attacks or being crushed to death, CNN reported that Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo.
The powerful quake's epicenter was located in the Pacific Ocean about 60 miles northwest of Iquique, Chile, and 12.5 miles deep, the United States Geological Survey reported. The quake occurred at 8:46 p.m. local time (7:46 p.m. ET).
A tsunami warning was issued for the coasts of Chile, Peru and Ecuador, while high-wave watches were posted for residents of coastal Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

There are no more earthquakes than there have ever been. It's just that we are more aware of the ones that are

Hi Gene, whether or not there actually are more quakes now than ever doesn't really matter because now, for the first time in human history, we are able to HEAR about them all. It's just one more sign of the CONVERGENCE of all the signs that Jesus told us to watch for...signs that can tell us that we are approaching the season for The Lords return.
Also not sure how the USGS can possible KNOW the amount of quakes that happened on Oklahoma over past 4000 yrs....since they weren't here to report on them until very recently.
"You will HEAR of wars and rumors of wars....", said Jesus.
