The prophetic word God spoken about a major earthquake before they finished the building came true...notice no word was given as to where the earthquake would be...I thought Ohio...I wonder if the timing of this is significant?

http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=8029

Thank GOD no one was killed...this was a sign from the LORD, a warning, kind of like the movie, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL....where the alien gets the attention of planet earth by nuetralizing all electric power...without hurting anyone...to warn the earth that if the earth people continue in their violent ways, they would be punished....

It must be Divine Intervention that the worst injury is a broken arm! Praise the Lord forever! Thank you Jesus, that there have been no deaths. We know many will suffer and die in the coming days, for your day is soon to come. May the people's eyes be opened while they still breathe. Glory to you.

There has been 25-30 more earthquakes today as of Monday at 9:32 CST. These earthquakes are happening off of the west coast of Hawaii. Seven or eight have happened inland; the largest is 2.8 mag. The lava tubes and caverns are caving in. A 3.7 mag on the island to the west of Mauai, the Lanai island.

Within this hour, Tuesday, 17 Oct. 06, 8:00 AM CST this is the latest:

There has been as at least 300 earthquakes around Hawaii since this began. That is very unusual. There has to be a reason for that.

A cavern or a lava tube will only collapse once.

The islands that make the chain of Hawaiian islands runs 1626 miles along the surface underneath the water. The 5 islands that are above water are about 371 miles long. This is one big lava tube and the islands above water are the volcanoes. The big island of Hawaii is 96 miles long and 83 miles wide and has been formed by 3 or 4 calderas which are the domes where the lava erupted from the earth.

The earthquakes that have been happening are mostly, about 90%, at the northern end of the big island covering a distance of about 44 miles, most of it offshore. The 6.7 quake was 1.28 miles off the northwest coast and it was 18 miles deep. Around this 6.7 quake there have been about 250 quakes from about 1.2 to 38 miles away. The second quake was 6.0 and it was about 23 miles from that and it was 6 miles off the northern coast. There have been about 31 earthquakes on the island of Hawaii so far. The lates was a 2.4 mag 25 miles deep and about 3.2 miles from the first one. I will figure out why they are happening. There has been no volcanic activity.

There is 4,532.29 miles between Hawaii and the first nuclear test of North Korea. Using the tet site as one apex of a triangle and Hawaii as one, the other is the tip of Brazil. Another triangle can be drawn using the first test site as one apex, the mediterranean sea as another, and somewhere around cuba as the other. Around the Virgin Island, Puerto Rico area, which is next to Cuba, it is just like Hawaii with almost as many earthquakes. There there is volcanic activity.... Hmmmmmm . . . this is an excitingly stupid study thats going nowhere.

All of those underground lava tube dwellers are just jumping up and down cursing Kim Jung Il and just waiting for the next round of tests. They're probably running back and forth moving all of their supplies trying to stay ahead of the collapsing roofs . . .

These are in the area of Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands:

EVERYBODY ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII NEED TO RUN TO THE SOUTHERN END AND JUMP UP AND DOWN!

gregg! behave...

I have not read that it has had 300 tremors, but if they have would that really be unusal? That ground was built on volcano's and I am sure there is always something trembling below the ground over there...

It would take a copuple of hours to do it but I could list every one.

This is the latest one in a group of about 25:

89 km (55 miles) WNW (285°) from Hilo, HI
253 km (157 miles) SE (128°) from Honolulu, HI

There all occuring offshore on the North end. Yeah, maybe 300 is too many. It has been about 150 or a little less. And, I believe that is unusual because there has been no volanic activity.

But then, it may be far down underground there is something coming up that is causing the tubes and caves to collapse. The deepest one was about 30 miles deep.

Oh, I was not implying that they didn't...I was saying that it should not be unusal for them to have so many being that they are on a volcano anyway...

What would point to it being so unusual is that they have built so many cities. It has been that long since they had any shaking going on. There has been lava pouring out of the craters, but that has been a spectacle to these people. They have become complacent to the flow. They are being warned now that something is going to happen. It has been a soft warning so far.

You can see the same thing I am seeing by typing in googlearth.com in your browser and downloading the google earth and it shows the earthquakes and it leaves the earthquakes up there a week. It updates every hour.

Current Volcanic-Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Report by Hawaiian Volcano Observatory for October 15, 2006: Mauna Loa is not erupting. There have been no significant changes since the last report on October 9, 2006. The two damaging earthquakes this morning and the continuing aftershocks have not caused any measureable changes in the behavior of Mauna Loa.

GPS data suggest that, starting in early September 2005, inflation of the volcano has slowed. Over the past 6 months, our GPS network has recorded 1 cm of extension across the caldera and 2 cm of extension across the flanks.

Tiltmeters show a large offset due directly to ground vibrations caused by the earthquakes; the instruments are returning to normal levels.

Gas sensors show no unusual changes in carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide on the crater floor. Fumarole temperatures remain at background levels.

Mauna Loa remains seismically quiet with few earthquakes occurring beneath the volcano. Since the beginning of January, 2005, HVO analysts have rarely located more than 10 earthquakes per week beneath Mauna Loa summit.

The next update will be posted on October 23, 2006.

Makes me feel like a scientist.

I am saying that its not a big deal....

Now there speculation that Hawaii actually had 2 seperate quakes...I'm sure there will be more to the story after people do some more research.
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/H/HAW...-10-19-01-06-16

Over 80 aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 1.7 were recorded in the first 24 hours after the quake. The largest was a magnitude 4.2 that occurred at 10:35 AM HST on October 15. Like the second earthquake, preliminary locations for most of the aftershocks placed them at depths less than 20 km.

Yeah, the aftershocks are probably rocks falling down in the caverns. But what caused the first two?

There has been in the last couple of days 11 little eartquakes in the southern US. The biggest one was 3.4 in southeast Missouri. As far south as 2.2 in Georgia.

I'm awake! It's not a big deal! Shake dat booty!

It took awhile but the force of the nuclear blast stopped at Peru, the other side of the continent from Brazil.

That may be a little big deal.

Notice the highlighted text....

Aftershocks, those who live through major earthquakes often say, are worse than the main shock in their own way. At least the main shock took them by surprise and was over fairly soon, in less than a minute usually.
But with aftershocks, people are stressed already, dealing with disrupted lives and cities. They expect aftershocks at any minute, day or night. When a building is damaged by the main shock, aftershocks can take it down—maybe when you're inside cleaning it up. And aftershocks, especially after large earthquakes, come by the dozens and occur for months, even years. No wonder Susan Hough, the government seismologist who gets in the news whenever temblors do, calls aftershocks "ghosts of earthquakes past."
http://geology.about.com/cs/eq_hazards/a/aa011898a.htm


So, yes not a big deal....It happens....

Yeah, you're right, I talked to somebody whose brother has a house that was cut in half by one of those earthquakes and he said that it is not unusual for there to be so many. But, my thinking is that the fist two were caused by the nuclear test done by North Korea which would make the first two unusual and the rest of the of the aftershocks would be also, not that it is an unusual thing for there to be aftershocks. But, 2 + 2 in this case equals 4. And if North Korea does any more testing, I think more will happen. In the case of these earthquakes, it is not that lava is moving the rocks, the rocks are falling in.
