LOL!
I was speaking about the Book of Revelations saying something along the lines of all these disasters and murders and wickedness increasing as a woman in labor; a sign of the coming of Christ. (Kind of explaining how some Christians may take the earthquale as a religious sign.)
Yes. Matthew 24:7 Jesus talks of "birth pangs of distress". I believe it is the book of Timothy where Paul talks about the last days men becoming lovers of themselves, puffed up with pride, etc.
The odds of lightning strike the same place twice are exactly the same as it striking any other place the first time. If one searches back through time, you'll find many natural disasters that occurred on the same day but years, decades, or even centuries apart.
