I’ll be watching for the rain of toads and plague of locusts. Check here periodically for updates.

If by toads and locusts you mean Hair Furor somehow making this about him, I’m sure you do not have long to wait!

7.1 in Central Mexico…wow! Peak magnitude is only one factor in the severity of an earthquake, but for comparison the 1994 Northridge earthquake that caused tens of billions of dollars in damage in the Los Angeles area was magnitude 6.7.

I had just read this. God you don’t know which disaster to look at - the earthquake or the hurricane.

Good thing I’m an atheist.

If this involves the Caribbean plate, they could be related (hurricanes causing earthquakes).

I guess they could.

I’ve posted about this before. There’s a lot of evidence for linking the two. Climate change is going to increase earthquakes and volcanic activity. Plus, think about it. Where does the energy in a Cat 5 hurricane go when it drops to a Cat 2, then to a tropical storm? It mostly goes into the land that it slammed into. But the research has mostly focused on water impacts leading to plate motion. The atmosphere and the ground are not really separate things. It’s all interrelated.

Well it sounds completely realistic to me. I haven’t read anything about it but it is all interrelated, yes, so there is no reason to think that they wouldn’t be acting on each other.

Can we get a map of all the world’s natural disasters over the past few years?

I want to know which nations are praising Roy Moore’s god enough. Once we see what they are doing, we can do a cost/benefit analysis on sucking up to the big religious terrorist in the sky.
