Quake Hits China. Thousands Feared Dead

Like the tornadoes that have been cutting swaths throughout the lower half of the nation, earthquakes like the one that just hit China are getting some added coverage, of late. Seismic activity is an ever-changing dynamic force occurring all over the planet, at any given time. Like tornadoes, quakes give little warning to those that do not have a seismograph in their office or home.

Whenever the plates of the earth shift in one area, it causes pressure in another area (often on the other side of the plate that experienced the initial activity), and sooner or later the pressure must be relieved. Earlier this year on April 14, an area off of the coast of Oregon experienced a rare series of activity, with four quakes that ranged 3.8 - 4.8 in magnitude. Four days later in Southern Illinois, four quakes occurred. The first was a 5.2, with an later aftershock of 4.6 (and other lesser ones).

After a few recent temblors in Indonesia and Taiwan, it has been reported that the quake today in China has registered 7.8, with early reports of thousands feared dead.

As for the tornadoes, I suppose the "First Mutual International Church Of Global Warming" cult will exploit this event as they are wont to do. But I submit to all of you read this, look at the history of tornadoes and you will see that this is nothing new. The Tri-State Tornado of 1925 was one of the deadliest and most devastating since records have been kept and there were very low amounts of carbon emissions back then. So don't be swayed by catastrophes, as though they were some new things in life. They are not. They cause much grief and destruction, they always have.
