The earth is shaking, the sea is foaming, and the beasts are rising. That's for sure. Look up, folks, our redemption draweth nigh!
Good info.
I'm by Mount Helens and on the fault line...
Why did you have to go and bring that up!
Mount Hood has been shaking this week. Scary.
Yes there was. 200+ killed.
Indeed it does. Spent a third of my life living in Napier, which was destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent fire in 1931. As a kid I remember earthquakes could be felt just about every week it seemed. Grew to actually enjoy them...ooohhhh we'd say, that was a good one. If in school we regularly had exercises to clamber under the desk... And regularly had the real thing. Volcanic activity also. The city of auckland is built on around 20 or more dormant volcanic peaks, and one very large one just a few hundred yards offshore. And experts say that Mt Taranaki on the west coast could erupt in our life time... That's a large mountain with several small towns and a couple of moderate sized cities nearby.
That wouldn't be so bad. Then we won't be be bothered by all the political bs that is spun around the globe.Now here's the fun bit of information...
This is a rough outline picture of the submarine communications cables....its what allows internet and phone calls to happen.
A lot of these cables are unaffected by weather...unless its an earthquake under the ocean. Then it gets difficult. A small rockslide under the ocean and in one of the valleys that they lay these cables in...and that cable gets crushed and no more international communications. Look at that china coastline. There's just one valley under the ocean's surface that they all go through...and one day there was a rock slide that really crippled communications. Hundreds of thousands of terabytes per minute go through that trench.
Its all fun and games until the communications go silent.
