As you may have already heard, only hours ago, another strong 6.9 earthquake
struck southern China and Tibet.

How many 6.0+ earthquakes have occurred during the past six months alone?

For those of you who may possibly think that I am just being an alarmist,
then I urge you to consider the following list which only shows the 7.0 or
greater earthquakes which have occurred since September of last year. If I
were to include the 6.0+ earthquakes from the same time period, there would
be many more on this list. While 6.0+ quakes can be considered strong, if I
recall correctly, 7.0+ earthquakes are ten times stronger, and obviously
considerably more dangerous, and are classified as "major earthquakes":

7.0 - Haiti, Central America - January 12, 2010
7.0 - Java, Indonesia - September 2, 2009
7.0 - Ryukyu Islands, Japan - February 26, 2010
7.2 - Mexico - April 4, 2010
7.2 - Solomon Islands - January 4, 2010
7.6 - Sumatra, Indonesia - September 30, 2009
7.8 - Sumatra, Indonesia - April 7, 2010
7.8 - Vanuatu, South Pacific - October 7, 2009
8.1 - Samoan Islands - September 29, 2009
8.8 - Chile, South America - February 27, 2010

Contrary to what God's Word tells us about the Endtime, seismologists
continue to foolishly insist that strong and major earthquakes are not
increasing in frequency. As I've said before, it is my belief that they are
intentionally being deceitful, probably as part of government efforts to
avoid widespread panic.

I wonder how bad things are going to have to get before they start telling
people the truth. The truth is, seismologists and world governments will
probably never tell their people the truth.


Strong quake in western China's Qinghai kills 67

By GILLIAN WONG - Associated Press

April 13, 2010


BEIJING - A series of strong earthquakes struck China's western Qinghai
province Wednesday, toppling houses, killing at least 67 people and burying
many others in a mountainous rural area, officials and state media said.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported on its Web site that a magnitude 6.9
temblor struck an area in southern Qinghai, near Tibet, on Wednesday morning
and was followed by three quakes in the same area.

The main quake sent residents fleeing as it toppled houses made of mud and
wood, said Karsum Nyima, the Yushu county television station's deputy head
of news, speaking by phone with broadcaster CCTV.

"In a flash, the houses went down. It was a terrible earthquake," he said.
"In a small park, there is a Buddhist tower and the top of the tower fell
off.

"Everybody is out on the streets, standing in front of their houses, trying
to find their family members," he said, adding that school buildings had not
collapsed but that students had been evacuated and were assembled in outdoor
playgrounds.

The quake hit the county of Yushu, a Tibetan area in Qinghai's south, the
official Xinhua News Agency cited the China Earthquake Networks Center as
saying. The Chinese center measured the quake's magnitude at 7.1. A local
government Web site put the county's population in 2005 at 89,300, a
community of mostly herders and farmers.

The China Earthquake Administration announced the initial death toll in a
brief statement on its Web site. Rescue efforts were hindered by
telecommunications problems, with phone lines down, the notice said.

State television showed footage of paramilitary police using shovels to dig
around a house with a collapsed wooden roof. A local military official, Shi
Huajie, told state broadcaster CCTV rescuers were working with limited
equipment.

"The difficulty we face is that we don't have any excavators. Many of the
people have been buried and our soldiers are trying to pull them out with
human labor," Shi said. "It is very difficult to save people with our bare
hands."

Wu Yong, a local military chief, said medical workers were also urgently
needed but that roads leading to the airport had been badly damaged by the
quake, creating difficulties for people and supplies to be flown in.

The epicenter of the first quake was located 235 miles (380 kilometers)
south-southeast of Golmud, a large city in Qinghai, at a depth of six miles
(10 kilometers), the USGS said.

Ten minutes later, the area was hit by a magnitude 5.3 quake, which was
followed after two minutes by a temblor measuring 5.2, according to the U.S.
agency. Both the subsequent earthquakes were measured at a depth of 6 miles
(10 kilometers). Another quake, measuring 5.8, was recorded at 9:25 a.m.

CCTV cited Sun Shihong, an analyst at the China Earthquake Networks Center,
as saying the subsequent temblors were aftershocks and that Yushu county is
located in an earthquake-prone area.

Calls to the local Communist Party office and the government of Yushu county
and the Qinghai provincial seismological bureau rang unanswered.

In 2008, a magnitude-7.9 quake in Sichuan province left almost 90,000 people
dead or missing.
