Earthquakes on the rise!

Revelation 6:12

I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

Everyone knows about California's imminent splash into the Pacific ocean (LOL) but even those in the heart of the country aren't safe. Read on about growign recent earthquake activity in the midwest and Reno, Nevada:

"In the 17 years we’ve been monitoring the ocean through hydrophone recordings, we’ve never seen a swarm of earthquakes in an area such as this..."

Researchers have recorded more than 600 earthquakes in the last 10 days off the central Oregon coast in an area not typically known for a high degree of seismic activity.

And the New Madrid seismic zone in the Midwest:

And lest anyone forget, there is also the worrisome Yellowstone (Park) Caldera:

I've been hearing about what could be the "end of the world as we know it" if the Yellowstone caldera erupts full force, and it ain't pretty:

excerpt: Short only of meteorite impacts, a supervolcano explosion has the capability of reducing our grand civilization to a whimpering mass of starving creatures. Lying in the path of a massive eruption is the breadbasket of America, that in a very few years will also be sustaining a large fraction of the expanding world population. Cutting off that food supply will create a famine that the world has never seen, especially since most of the crops around the world would have a hard time surviving due to the extreme global cooling caused by the eruption. Wars would break out, hundreds of millions would likely die (if not more), and the world order will be forever shifted. The United States would be crippled, its vast wealth nothing without the sustenance provided by the land. Its neighbors, Canada and Mexico will be facing a crisis as waves of American emigrants struggle to find a new home. We talk about a post-9/11 world as if we’ve experienced a real catastrophe. Just imagine a post-Yellowstone world.
