Earthquake Swarm

 

Earthquake Swarm Hits Off Oregon Coast, Causing Fears Of 'The Next Big One' - Zerohedge    The Blanco Transform Fault Zone (BTFZ) off Oregon's coast, one of North America's most active fault lines, generated 50 earthquakes in the last 24 hours.  The quake swarm hit 200-250 miles west of Newport, Oregon, and ranged between magnitude 3.5 to 5.8. The area's seismic activity has generated a lot of buzz on social media, of worried people believing the next big one could be nearing.  "If you had asked me yesterday where on Earth would be most likely to produce a bunch of magnitude 5.0+ quakes in a single day, this would have been high on my list," Harold Tobin, Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at the University of Washington, told CNN   BTFZ is a strike-slip boundary which means tectonic plates slide along one another. The most dangerous are the subduction zones, where one plate dives underneath another.

- Almighty God, this location on the earth is in great need for the protection of our God.  This is in Your hands, and we ask that there be an assembly of prayer warriors who will call out to God to save them from sudden destruction.  We pray that the hands of the Lord guide these tectonic plates that slide along one another or dive underneath another.  You are God over all and we trust You to save souls and lives.  In the Name of Jesus. - "For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith." (I John 5:4)
