12 Signs That Something Big Is Happening To The Earth’s Crust Under North And South America

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Why are fault lines and volcanoes all over North and South America suddenly waking up?  Are we moving into a time when major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will become much more common?  For the past several decades, we have been extremely fortunate to have experienced a period of extremely low seismic activity along the west coast of the United States.  You see, the west coast lies right along the infamous Ring of Fire.  Approximately 75 percent of all the volcanoes in the world are on the Ring of Fire, and approximately 90 percent of all global earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.  Scientists tell us that it is inevitable that “the Big One” will hit California someday, but people have gotten very apathetic about this because things have been so quiet out there for so many years.  Well, now it appears that things are changing in a big way – and not just along the California coast.  The following are 12 signs that something big is happening to the earth’s crust under North and South America…

#1 The 5.1 earthquake that shook Los Angeles on Friday was the worst earthquake that the city had seen in many years.

#2 Following that earthquake, there were more than 100 aftershocks.

#3 A 4.1 earthquake shook Los Angeles on Saturday.  Scientists are hoping that this earthquake swarm in southern California will end soon.

#4 Earlier this month, a 4.4 earthquake rattled Los Angeles so badly that it caused news anchors to dive under their desks.

#5 A 6.9 earthquake just off the coast of northern California in early March was the largest earthquake to hit the west coast of the United States since 2010.

#6 Up in Oregon, Mt. Hood recently experienced more than 100 earthquakes over the course of just a few days.

#7 During the past month, there have also been some other very unusual geologic events that have been happening up in Oregon

  • Two large landslides – one in the Columbia River Gorge dumped about 2,000 cubic yards of rock and debris on highway I84 just 3 miles west of the Hood River, and another blocked US30 near Portland.
  • Loud booms and ground shaking reported by people from Lincoln to Tillamook Counties; some reported hearing a rumble, as well (No earthquakes recorded by the USGS in the area at the time.)
  • A 20 ft. deep sinkhole swallowed a woman and her dog in her Portland backyard.

#8 A 4.8 earthquake rattled Yellowstone National Park on Sunday, and there have been at least 25 earthquakes at Yellowstone since Thursday.

#9 Scientists recently discovered that the Yellowstone supervolcano is now releasing far more helium gas than they had anticipated.

#10 Over the past month, there have been more than 130 earthquakes in the state of Oklahoma.  This is highly unusual.

#11 There have been several dozen earthquakes in Peru over the past month, including a 6.3 earthquake that made headlines all over the globe.

#12 Earlier this month, the northern coast of Chile was hit by more than 300 earthquakes in a seven day stretch.  41 of those earthquakes were stronger than magnitude 4.5.

Fortunately, the quake that hit Los Angeles on Friday did not cause too much lasting injury.  But it sure did shake people up.  The following is how the Los Angeles Times described the damage…

The quake, centered near La Habra, caused furniture to tumble, pictures to fall off walls and glass to break. Merchandise fell off store shelves, and there were reports of plate glass windows shattered.

In Brea, several people suffered minor injuries during a rock slide that overturned their car. Fullerton reported seven water main breaks. Carbon Canyon Road was closed.

Residents across Orange and Los Angeles counties and the Inland Empire reported swinging chandeliers, fireplaces dislodging from walls and lots of rattled nerves. The shake caused a rock slide in Carbon Canyon, causing a car to overturn, according to the Brea Police Department.

Why this particular earthquake is of such concern is because it occurred along the Puente Hills fault line.  According to one seismologist, this is the fault line that would be most likely to “eat L.A.”

Experts said that the earthquakes occurred on the Puente Hills thrust fault, which stretches from the San Gabriel Valley to downtown Los Angeles.

Last night’s quake was shallow, which ‘means the shaking is very concentrated in a small area,’ said Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson.

Hauksson revealed that the earthquake was unusual because the 5.1 quake was preceded by the weaker foreshock.

Scientists such as Hauksson are very concerned about the Puente Hills fault because it runs directly under downtown Los Angeles.

This is the fault that could eat L.A.,’ seismologist Sue Hough told The LA Times in 2003.

The fact that this fault appears to be waking up is really bad news.

According to seismologists, a major earthquake along this fault line could cause hundreds of billions of dollars of damage

Video simulations of a rupture on the Puente Hills fault system show how energy from a quake could erupt and be funneled toward L.A.’s densest neighborhoods, with the strongest waves rippling to the west and south across the Los Angeles Basin.

According to estimates by the USGS and Southern California Earthquake Center, a massive quake on the Puente Hills fault could kill from 3,000 to 18,000 people and cause up to $250 billion in damage. Under this worst-case scenario, people in as many as three-quarters of a million households would be left homeless.

For years, we have watched as the rest of the Ring of Fire has been absolutely ravaged by major seismic events.

We all remember the earthquakes that caused the Indonesian tsunami of 2004 and the Japanese tsunami of 2011.

And the world mourned when major earthquakes devastated New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Japan and the Philippines.

Scientists assured us that it was only a matter of time before the west coast started to become seismically active again, and now it is happening.

If you live on the west coast, I hope that you will consider these things very carefully.

Just because the earth under your feet has been relatively quiet for a very long time does not mean that it will always be that way.

Something big appears to be happening to the earth’s crust, and you won’t want to be in the “danger zone” when things finally break loose.

      Earthquakes are natural…this is gonna happen. All of these places have/are faultlines. Would you not be concerned if there were no earthquakes? Then it would be “oh god there has not been an earthquake on a major faultline in two weeks!!!” If that happens look me up, ill show some interest.

      • I AINT HAVE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

        Potentially 38,000,000 mil Americans can die! Yahoooiooooooo

        • duncombemu

          And just one of you. Just because you don’t like what America stands for, it certainly doesn’t mean any innocent people should die.

          What is wrong with you? You really come across as a ‘mental case’.

          Have something nice to say, for once.

      “Why are fault lines and volcanoes all over North and South America suddenly waking up?”

      Really, because these fault lines haven’t been producing earthquakes now for thousands of years? Seems like anytime there is a new earthquake, somebody on BIN uses it to predict “the big one.”

      Why didn’t the 1964 Alaskan earthquake set off Yellowstone?
      Why didn’t the 1906 San Francisco earthquake set off Yellowstone?
      In the early 1800′s, multiple large earthquakes hit Missouri, why didn’t these set off “the big one?”

      • Fake-it

        Soon (in less than 5 years), everyone will be asking the same question; even the sheeple will want to know what’s going-on.
        Once they wake-up, you’ll know that the SHTF is imminent.
        In the mean time, have a cool one as often as possible.

        • YellowRoseTx51

          We make the leap. We will not be here ‘In Five Years’.

          The count down for the division of the families has started.

          I’d be surprised if we were still ‘here’ in “May”.

          People are being lied to about how this occurs, where they really are, and the true nature of space the world we live on.

          You should call others ‘sheeple’ when you are so obviously stuck in the same mind trap as they are.

    • MSG Chicken

      Don’t forget the Oar fish that washed ashore. Surely a harbinger for that fish inhabits the deep waters off the coast.

      Did something happen deep down off the Pacific?

    • YellowRoseTx51

      We are about to make the leap forward. At that time, exactly, is when all of the ‘bomb’s’ the elite set up, will go off. Yellowstone and all the rest. Their bunkers wont protect them and they are left behind…lost their seals…because they are evil and enjoyed committing evil against the populations.

    • Patriot Games

      Maybe the 6th seal is about to be opened…
      April 15th begins the Lunar Tetrad that marks Passover and Sukkot 2014 and 2015

    • twohawk

      That sure is one cuuuuute puppy.! A recent report I read mentions Yellowstone’s cycle
      is to blow it’s top about every 600,000 years, or so. Well , well- look at the time! It’s almost
      640,000 years o’clock!

      Seriously, in my humble opinion, the Earth is designed to do what it’s doing. (key word there
      being ‘designed’). Our Earth is designed to care for itself, in that when it gets too dirty, or
      piled on with garbage, radiation, people, it will cover all in burning hot lava and ash.
      Eventually, ending up at the Earth’s core, to be sanitized, then spewed out on top again
      at the right time, all fresh and new. We just happen to be indignant about it. How DARE the
      Earth mess up my spring break, or the subdivision I had planned!? don’t worry- be happy.

      • COCONUT

        Right on! Nature does what it was designed to do and there isn’t anything we can do about it!

    • Gods Child

      Its going to be like the movie 2012 the earthquake and yellowstone volcanoe erupption.

    • StavoV

      Must be trying to get the publics motivation together, for a new movie or book that is about to hit the market. lol :wink:

    • willhart

      In truth, quakes are natural and they do not kill that many people. ditto for other natural cataclysms. The thing to fear is a kill shot by an X-class solar flare that could shut down the electrical grid. That can happen…one with that potential occured in 1859, before the electricity was invented. It zapped the telegraph system in the US. That could destroy civilized life as we know it….yeah, Yellowstone will happen tommorow or in a thousand years, who knows?

      • COCONUT

        The problem is that MAN… (note humankind) thinks that it should never have to live with nature’s whims.
