There is also a story of the burning down of the National Headquarters for the Klu Klux Klan.
A bolt of lightening struck the building and burned it to the ground.
Just prior to that, the KKK were threatening a group of Saint Katherine Drexel's nuns in Beaumont, Texas. The saint (still alive on earth) prayed for the protection of the nuns.
After the National Headquarters burned down, it was somehow correlated that it was related to the threats on the nuns.
This particular story I have to research more to find more facts and dates to substantiate...
I pray that these aftershocks are not un-nerving for the people of this area -- having lived in California, I experienced some pretty good sized earthquakes (all less than 7).
For some people, tremors between 1 and 3 on the earthquake scale is part of their normal life...
