Let me ask you a question, doesn’t it seem like there have been more earthquakes this year than in previous years?

While it seems we’ve had more earthquakes this year than in previous years, we haven’t… Well, so far that is…Knock on wood…

As of this writing, in 2019, worldwide, we had 919 earthquakes scoring 5.0 or higher on the Richter scale as compared to 1808 in 2018 and a high of 2481 in 2011….

I believe the reason it seems more is going on is we live in an era of instantaneous communication. A fart in Timbuktu could go viral in 5 minutes these days.

Combined with the fact that two powerful quakes hit the US in a couple of days, many believe it’s our turn to see and feel what the rest of the world goes through.

I believe the twin quakes in California were a blessing. A blessing called Awareness is designed to shake us(pun intended) from our belief that “it” can’t happen here.

“It” can come in the form of blizzards, fast-moving fires, floods, tornadoes, and of course earthquakes.
