HELENA, Mont. -- An earthquake measuring a magnitude 5.6 struck southwestern Montana on Monday night, rattling windows, nerves and buildings, but there were no immediate reports of any serious damage or injuries.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was centered about 13 miles northwest of Dillon, but residents across a wide swath of Montana, Idaho and Washington reported feeling the temblor at about 10:10 p.m.

Reports came in from as far away as Great Falls, more than 200 miles to the north, and Billings, 250 miles to the east. Some residents reported two distinct tremors, several seconds apart, lasting about eight to 10 seconds in all.

In Dillon, Beaverhead County Commissioner Mike McGinley said there were scattered reports of broken glass and other minor damage around town, but nothing significant.

That's one way to shake you medicine before taking it.

I know the area. No surprise there's no reports of damage; the population of the region has more badgers than people!

this is uncomfortably close to Yellowstone, though....

and with Mt St Helens starting to make noise, the earthquake ripping open the Pacific Ocean floor (causing the tsunami) and hundreds of smaller earthquakes off the western US shores....

well...something big is brewing.

Absolutely. And when you throw in the article I posted about the sounds coming from the earth that both sound like, and show, that the earth is "ripping" apart... how can anyone deny that something big is about to happen?

I haven't posted even half of the articles I've read on recent earthquakes, droughts, and other natural disasters. I don't want to be thought of as being so focused on "end times" and being "heavenly minded" that I'm no "earthly good", as the saying goes.

All of these are just what they are... signs to be recognized and heeded. They are reminders of what our real work is here on the earth and how little time we have left to complete it. They aren't meant for us to STOP working but to FAN THE FLAME!

Keith, I hate that saying sooooooo much!! I don't think a person could ever be to heavenly minded

I think that phrase was made up by someone who wasn't a christian.

So...bless you and your heavenly mind

Thanks for your posts.

I have to admit that I don't care for the saying either. (Anything that becomes a Christian Cliche or Bumper Sticker actually!) That's why I didn't quote it as its usually said! But I understand where it comes from. Here's my understanding of it kraz...

Some people can get so wrapped-up in the thought of heaven, and waiting to get there, that they can't seem to live the lives they were given here on the earth. I've seen people with extremely dirty houses and their excuse was, "What does it matter? We're going home, soon!" Laundry and dishes piled up, bills unpaid, etc., I even know one woman in my old church who lost her job eventually. The Bible says to be in this world, but not of it. She wasn't even in this world. This saying is usually used for people who are concentrating too much on the end times. "Run up the credit cards, we're out of here, soon!" And others who spend so much time trying to solve "the big end times mysteries."

It's about the people who have already "checked-out" of life here. Their concentration seems to be on heaven and how great it will be and how they wish they were there already.... not on the Father and the Son. It's very selfish really.

I wish I was there already, but I know that we are ambassadors for Christ and until Jesus comes back again, we are to do all to His Glory!

I truly appreciate your articles Keith! My husband loves Prophecy, and when we met that was the 'hot'topic of most of our initial courting ! ! !

(Actually he was simply glad that finally he met someone who liked learning about that part of the bible...Revelation)

Just curious though, how long have you been following these articles in generaL??
