Gempa/guncangan bumi yang hebat dan dahsyat merupakan suatu bencana yang menjadi ancaman bagi kelangsungan kehidupan manusia di muka bumi, yang membuat masyarakat ketakutan dan kepanikan, karena selalu diikuti oleh meluapnya air laut/tsunami. Kejadian gempa akhir-akhir ini telah banyak meruntuhkan bangunan dan merugikan harta benda dan menelan korban jiwa. Prihal ancaman bencana gempa ini ada disebutkan dalam Al-Qur'an Surat ke : (7: 78, 91), (22: 1, 2), (29: 37), (9 : 1), (56 : 4), (73 : 14), (77 : 10), (99 : 1, 2), (81: 6), (82: 3).

wait till the big ones start hitting the U.S. pretty soon 2-3 big mags (probably 7-9 mag) on the west coast and east coast will feel them in colorado AND texas/oklahoma. money will fail when major road and rail services are cut to deliver supplies across the

This is the level of damage when there are no earthquake building codes followed. Sad because it's preventable.

τελικά θα πεθάνουμε εδώ στην Κρήτη ή από κορωνοϊό ή από σεισμό ή και... από κανένα τσουνάμι. Ποτέ δεν ξέρεις 😢

I made this following comment at another You Tube Channel, i.e. Kosmo's channel - that covers any new comment I could make here pretty well I think - overall - because it also covers duchsinse' very timely Earthquake watch Channel that I commented at as early as a couple of weeks ago:


Yeah well, unfortunately things are heating up on Earth to the extent that we may still never get to Mars - if landing on Mars is sought as an escape from Earth's troubles - we've sort of left things till too late - to establish any colony - should that be the case.
Apart from what's happening in the Middle East with various threats against the Israeli state - there's also potential earthquake activity around the world that could rain on humanity's parade of its otherwise awesome technology.
I'll just reference a couple of video presentations of this one You Tube channel that I commented at to give you an idea as to what I'm referring to in the earthquake sphere: - starting from the most recent to a few more before that - because something seems to be going on worldwide that could indeed be biblical in proportions but I've only included the introductory blurb in the earliest one I commented at recently - and that's an even earlier one that I commented at when I first saw dutchsinse's video presentations of what seems to be global earthquake activity that could indeed be leading up to some really big ones - that could put a huge dent in any funding for further space exploration of any type - should world economies be hit by this extraordinary earthquake activity:

A spread of seismic activity is taking place. The current unrest is spreading out and away from the multiple deep earthquake impact points (from Fiji to Japan to Indonesia).

The unrest has become quite obvious to even the casual observer with multiple M7.0+ earthquakes occurring in the past 30 days (in comparison to having none for months in 2020). Additionally there has been a spread of M6.0+ earthquake activity reaching from the M7.7 location (at Loyalty Islands) Westward to Sumatra Indonesia, and as far North as the Philippines.

We should expect M5.0 range activity to strike along the West Coast (California bay area most likely) due to the plate slow slipping (ETS) taking place from Vancouver Island to the California border (thousands of tremors in the past 10-12 days as the plate is shifting).

Central and Southern California should expect new swarms going as high as M4.9 near Salton Sea, as well as similar sized movement to strike the California / Nevada border near Mono Lake again.

The Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island) is currently still slipping with thousands of tremors.. which means we must be vigilant about the possibility of M7.0+ activity to develop out in the ocean on perimeter boundary surrounding the JDF (Juan De Fuca). We must watch as long as the ETS is taking place up to a couple weeks AFTER IT STOPS (like 2012 for instance).

Overall, things are picking up internationally with the multiple M7.0+ earthquakes, as well as the West coast USA being overdue for M5.0+ release, the two things together have me on a bit of an edge . A slow slip can lead to a large quake above M6.0... and we are already looking for "regular" M5.0 range to come rolling out of the area moving. If anything more comes in from Alaska (or if the plate shifts more)... we may see something much bigger than normal.

Slow slips are the wild card.. we have to watch EVERY day on the slip to see if its coming to a halt, or if its carrying on moving.

Note: Admittedly 'dutch' does seem to have an odd sense of humour when presenting his videos - but I think the info he covers is relevant to the comment I just made here also - nevertheless.

Cheap, 3rd World construction....

From california, ...home of earthquakes.
