Earthquake, Earthquake Watch, Earthquake Prophecy, Current Earthquake News, Hurricanes, Weather Phenomenon

Due to the increased number of worldwide earthquakes and strange weather phenomenon,

The Lampholder will be reporting only on major events and those of prophetic significance.

"U.S. researchers said they were able to measure small changes in the density of fractures along the

"A moderate earthquake shook a mountainous area near Bakersfield, Calif., early Thursday,

"The magnitude-5.2 temblor struck at 8:03 p.m., centered about 11 miles southeast of the town of Willow Creek in the

Shasta-Trinity National Forest, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Willow Creek is about 320 miles north of San Francisco."

"The 18 quakes that followed Friday's moderate temblor have predominantly been minor earthquakes -- magnitude 3.9 and below."

"...appeared to rival the strongest recorded in the region...The quake occurred in the Illinois basin-Ozark dome region that

covers parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas and stretches from Indianapolis and St. Louis to Memphis...

earthquakes occur irregularly in the area, and that the largest historical earthquake in the region

April 2008 - Ridgely, Tennessee - In a period of 24 hours, an 28 small earthquake swarms were recorded.

* Several new faults were included or revised as a source of earthquake ground shaking in California, the Pacific Northwest and the Intermountain West.
* The Wasatch fault in Utah was modeled to include the possibility of a magnitude-7.4 earthquake, in addition to smaller earthquakes along the fault.
* The model for earthquakes along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the Central United States includes a wider range of possible magnitudes and return periods between major earthquakes. The model was also adjusted to allow for sequences of earthquakes to occur in groups of three within a few years time, similar to what occurred in 1811 - 1812.
* Offshore faults were added as possible sources of earthquakes near Charleston, S.C.
* For the Cascadia Subduction Zone, more weight was given to a magnitude-9 earthquake that ruptures the length of the subduction zone, versus multiple smaller magnitude-8 earthquakes that fill the zone over the same 500-year time period.

In the Eastern United States, the greatest threat is along the New Madrid Fault which runs along the Mississippi River from northeastern Arkansas through western Tennessee, southeastern Missouri, and western Kentucky into southern Illinois.

For North Florida and South Georgia, the threat remains among the lowest in the country for earthquakes.

"New hazard data suggests a greater chance of one massive Cascadia Subduction Zone shock and a tsunami"

"...could be the result of magma rumbling underneath the Juan de Fuca Plate...There have been more

than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles southwest of Newport."

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Calexico's city, California - "Since Feb. 9, the area has been hit by what seismologists

call a ``swarm'' of them: 18 quakes registering more than a magnitude 3 and as high as 5.1 on the Richter scale.

The jolts are unnerving residents of the Imperial County town of 37,000, raising apprehension that what

"The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of the country.

People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Cumbria, the Midlands, Norfolk and also parts of Wales...."

"Strongest earthquake to rock country in a decade felt from Nahariya in the north down to Beersheba; epicenter

near Tyre, Lebanon. It is impossible to predict when strong earthquake will take place, says expert...."

"At least 21 people have been killed and at least 200 injured in an earthquake in Rwanda, reports say."

(NOTE: This is not a Lampholder prophecy but was predicted by a team of scientists)

"Third prediction is not a charm for seismic research team as temblor forecast window closed"

"A team of scientists credited with getting earlier earthquake predictions right now expects a 6.4 magnitude

or larger temblor in the Southern California desert by Sept. 5, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times...."

On the basis of research conducted since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and other scientists conclude that there is a 62% probability of at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater quake, capable of causing widespread damage, striking the San Francisco Bay region before 2032."

"Probabilities (shown in boxes) of one or more major (M>=6.7) earthquakes on faults in the San Francisco Bay Region during the coming 30 years. The threat of earthquakes extends across the entire San Francisco Bay region, and a major quake is likely before 2032. Knowing this will help people make informed decisions as they continue to prepare for future quakes..." (from Northern California USGS)

"The prediction is for a magnitude 6.4 or greater earthquake to occur between January 5 and September 5, 2004, within a 12,440 sq. miles area of southern California that includes portions of the eastern Mojave Desert, Coachella Valley, Imperial Valley (San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial Counties) and eastern San Diego County"

New Earthquake Warning for Sumatra

Sumatra quake's awesome power 9.3 temblor ripped 800-mile gash in Earth's crust

"I had the strangest dream last night. It was about 1:30 A.M., when suddenly the word

EARTHQUAKE awoke me in the middle of the night.

The word was very large, and very near, as if to describe a very BIG EARTHQUAKE coming!

Perhaps, close to a 9.0 magnitude.. If the word had a voice, it would be screaming out loud.

The exact location was puzzling - the vision revealed only that it was very near which could mean either location or timing.
