Is the assumption that MAN has any control over nature.
Idiot alert!!! The Religion of Man, demonstrates it’s ignorance.
What a brainless question. Did they think that nature was in control?
Is it supposed to be nswerable to the Environmental Czar, perhaps? Or the National Security Czar?
Full moon and new moon mean greater gravitational tides. And it’s slightly greater when the moon is aligned with or opposite the sun, north to south. Full moon is tomorrow.
Actually I think that was me and my beautiful wife last night. Sorry. ;-)
“Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
I was watching CNN this am and the question was asked to the G.T. Prof. what the deal was with all the earthquakes, his response was it “it’s just a draw on the cards basically”.
The word has been spread to all four corners of the world. Hang on, going to be a fun ride.
More taxes will save us!
Not me. :)~
Was Michelle O in Chile. OOOOH MY BAD!
Richter Scale - Since 1943 Chile has had 5 earthquakes of 8.0 or above. In 1960 the greatest earthquake ever recorded was the Valdivia Earthquake - 9.5.
When was it ever under “control”? These people (MSNBC in this case but they’re part of a larger problem) are frighteningly stupid.
I live in a frontier county with natural forces evident at all times. Trees fall, rivers flood, rivers erode and create new flood plains, snow blocks roads, snow topples trees and power lines, lightining strikes start giant wildfires, heat and disease kills fish, dams and roads get washed out, well levels go down, insects kill crops, calves die of coyote attacks, sheep die of mountain lion attacks. People who live in cities may think that nature is controllable. We know better in the country. Nature is big cyclical processes. We only try and scrape out a temporary stability on the land.
There’s no such thing as nature! But, I have it on unimpeachable authority that Jesus Christ has had it with mankind. Earthquakes are a symptom of our illness.
suv’s of course!

Cicero,
I’ve been quite attentive to the effects of full moons on
a variety of things. The crossing of the celestial equator
added a new dimension.
Full moon and being on the celestial equator will happen at
about the same time in this instance... hmmmm
I guess we will have to fess up again. First it was by big cars and heating the house too warm which caused global warming. Now it is that we are building too many roads and buildings changing the center of gravity of the Earth. Old Mother Earth is just trying to compensate by having the Earth’s crust shift on the mantle. I just hope we do no fracture that hot molten core by drilling the oil wells too deep.
Alignment of the planets, as well. I think I read somewhere that Venus and Jupiter are very close to each other now, and also pretty close to the sun. I haven’t been following this, but again planetary alignment with sun and moon can produce record high tides, and presumably gravitational stresses.
Nature is and always will be out of control.
There was a comedy routine in the ‘60s saying earthquakes were caused by the National Geographic. So many people subscribed and never threw the darned things away. They boxed them up in the attic or the basement, and the earths crust was being cracked by the immense weight.
King Canute, please call the office!
Running to my attic right now......
Those pesky NG magazines....
To the landfill with them!
