There has been two tsunami's. There has been three dust storms in Australia, the first was the biggest in our history and moved billions of tonnes of dirt into the ocean. This has all happened in the asia / south pacific area. Is anyone else unsettled by this? I am not claiming a cluster, nor that the end is coming, but it just makes me feel really... dunno... unsettled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recent.../quakes_big.php The scientist in me wants to know the historical frequency of these events.

More detailed statistics on the size and frequency of earthquakes is available from the USGS.[16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not claiming a cluster, nor that the end is coming, but it just makes me feel really... dunno... unsettled. I feel the same way about the world disasters coming along so quickly one after another. It seems like God may be trying to make a statement here (not that he does not love the people affected by the tragedies) - perhaps fullflling the words of Jesus Christ when he spoke about famine, earthquakes in various places, etc., etc. in the end times. We should all strive to get our loved ones into the ark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
