Strong 6.0 quake Rocks San Francisco Bay area, Napa Valley epicenter
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake and at least 25 aftershocks rocked the San Francisco Bay Area early Sunday morning, centered in the Napa County town of American Canyon, causing widespread power outages in Napa, causing minor damage across the region, and forcing the CHP to close down a bridge on a major highway. This was the largest quake to hit the Bay Area since the 6.9 magnitude quake hit Loma Prieta nearly 25 years ago. Initial reports had the quake magnitude at 6.1.Lyall Davenport @Lyalldavenport twitter photo showing a building destroyed in the Napa Quake

Meanwhile, another Iceland Volcano has begun erupting. There was some confusion yesterday as to whether the Bardarbunga volcano had actually begun an eruption, but scientists are unified at this point that indeed it has begun, magma is on the move.
Iceland Raises Aviation Alert As Subglacial Eruption Begins At Bardarbunga Volcano
Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano burst forth with a small eruption Saturday under the ice of Europe's largest glacier, scientists said, prompting the country to close airspace over the area.
Thousands of small earthquakes have rattled the volcano, located deep beneath the Vatnajokull glacier, in the last week. Icelandic Meteorological Office vulcanologist Melissa Pfeffer said Saturday that seismic data indicated that an eruption had begun, with magma from the volcano melting ice within the glacier's Dyngjujokull icecap.

Yet more birthpains as God's Kingdom draws near.
ReplyDeleteJesus said before He returns there will be earthquakes in various places. There has been a 2000% increase in earthquakes since 1950. Two years earlier - in 1948 - Israel became a nation. This is the single, most significant prophecy to be fulfilled pertaining to the return of Christ. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
