Sidewalks outside of Palm Springs, CA are starting to lift up off the ground as the same force which caused the earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan is now hitting California; pressure from the Pacific Tectonic plate has now begun crushing into the US west coast.

These photos, posted by the homeowner who lives about ten minutes outside Palm Springs, CA, show what’s taking place :

Before you say it, NO, there are no tree roots underneath.  

The resident also says that when his son stood on the sidewalk to see if it would move back down, it would not.

See?  Nothing underneath.  This sidewalk is being pushed up from the ends;  the ground at one end is moving toward the other end, buckling the sidewalk.

EARTHQUAKE FEARS GROWING

The same tectonic plate which caused the tremendous earthquakes in Japan and later, in Ecuador last week, is now pushing against the west coast of the US.  It is crushing-into the ground in California.  As this movement continues, something, somewhere, has to “give.”  That generally means an earthquake.

Of course, California has little earthquakes all the time.  It’s quite typical for that area.

What worries many is that of all the regions affected around the world by the Pacific tectonic plate, the west coast of North America is the ONLY region where there has not (yet) been a major earthquake in the last ten days.

 

Worsening those fears is the history of the 1906 great San Francisco earthquake.  What many people do not know is that the San Francisco earthquake was part of a pattern of quakes which took place that year; first in Ecuador, then in Japan, and finally, the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906.

Folks are starting to wonder if history is repeating itself?

US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY INSTRUMENTS LIGHTING UP!

The US Geological Survey has a vast array of monitoring equipment deployed throughout the US west coast, and in California particularly.  One of the devices they utilize is called a “Crustal Deformation Sensor.”  It detects when the earth’s crust is being deformed (crushed/moved).  They are euphemistically referred-to as “creep meters” because they detect if the ground has started to creep in one direction or another.

As of 11:47 AM eastern US time, nineteen out of the twenty-three creep-meters around San Francisco have lit-up as “active” meaning the earth’s crust is — right now — being deformed around San Francisco.  You can see the green icons on the map below.  Green means “active”  Red means “inactive.”

It would seem prudent for persons residing in California to make certain they have emergency food, water, flashlights, batteries, radios and first-aid kits, just in case ” a big one ” strikes.

The tsunami, which could hit populated shores in just 15 minutes from a magnitude nine undersea overdue earthquake, would be caused by seismic activity in the Cascadia Subduction Zone – and should happen on average every 240 years.

But scientists, who warn that more needs to be done to prepare for the impending disaster, say the last one was 315 years ago -so it is 75 years overdue.

Chris Goldfinger, Oregon State earthquake geologist, is warning of the imminent risk.

The problem lies with the subduction zone where it meets the Oceanic Plate and is slowly forced beneath the North American plate

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is seventy miles off America's Pacific Northwest and stretches all the way from Vancouver Island to Northern California.

Mr Goldfinger said: "It buckles upward and it gets pushed backward like a spring until eventually, after a few hundred years, it just has to let go."

This is what triggers a massive tidal surge and the tsunami

The scientist and his team were the first to discover the next |"Big One" is long over due.

His team has collected samples of sediment from the ocean floor to look at movement.

They say that the signs that came before the 2011 Japanese tsunami which claimed 16,000 lives are happening around the subduction zone, but the US was not prepared for its effects.

Fears have heightened after a video emerged of a surge of water submerging Joe Creek near Pacific Beach in Washington state.

The footage, shot by Irene Sumi, shows a "rogue" wave rolling in and reaching inland.

She said the wave brought in logs and debris, while witnesses were left shaken up by the unexpected surge, and fear it could be a warning before the Big One.

He said: "There's nothing that compares to a magnitude 9 earthquake that North America has experienced in human history." 

Although preparations are underway.

Students at Grays Harbor County School in Westport, Washington, have regular drills going to the top floor in the event of a 15-minute warning.

But scents have warned it would not be high enough at its current height.

Paula Akerlund, school superintendent, said: "Scientists tell us it will happen at some point.

"It's very unpredictable as to when. So we, we need to be prepared."

Builders have been hired to put up north America's first ever vertical evacuation structure on top of the school.

The structure will be 44 feet-high with 14 inch walls audits hoped it would provide safety high enough for students and staff.

Kenneth Murphy, Federal Emergency Management Agency's regional administrator, said: "I would never say we are ready.

"At least 10,000 plus would be killed from the tsunami if a magnitude 8.0 quake hit.

"They tremendously go up from a magnitude 9.0 quake.

"We're talking numbers that this nation, I'm not sure, is really prepared to deal with."

Some cities are now requiring new buildings are built to withstand a major earthquake, but it does not apply to existing older ones.

But state and military authorities say adequate emergency plans are in place.

 

This Is What Would Happen If A 9.0 Earthquake Hit The Cascadia Subduction Zone…

 

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you have probably already heard of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.  It is where the Juan de Fuca plate meets the North American plate, and it stretches approximately 700 miles from northern Vancouver Island all the way down to northern California.  This subduction zone is capable of producing far more powerful earthquakes than the much more famous San Andreas fault in southern California, and scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time before another continent-killing earthquake hits this area.  And when it does hit, it will be far worse than any other natural disaster that the United States has ever seen up to this point.

According to CNN, “the largest earthquake in the continental United States” took place along the Cascadia Subduction Zone on January 26th, 1700, and one of the reasons why it is considered to be far more dangerous than other west coast faults is because it is also capable of producing massive tsunamis…

The Cascadia can deliver a quake that’s many times stronger — plus a tsunami.

“Cascadia can make an earthquake almost 30 times more energetic than the San Andreas to start with, and then it generates a tsunami at the same time, which the side-by-side motion of the San Andreas can’t do,” said Chris Goldfinger, a professor of geophysics at Oregon State University.

The Cascadia is capable of delivering a 9.0-magnitude quake — an awesome show of force by Mother Nature.

So what would that look like?

What would a 9.0-magnitude quake that also produced a huge tsunami do to the highly populated northwest coast?

According to an article in the New Yorker, the head of the FEMA division that oversees Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska says that “everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast”…

If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one.

…By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.”

In the Pacific Northwest, everything west of Interstate 5 covers some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people.

Like I said earlier, it would be far worse than any natural disaster that we have ever experienced in the history of the United States up until now.

And it could happen at literally any moment.  In fact, many scientists believe that we are way overdue for a continent-altering earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.  Tension has been building up there for a very long time, and at some point that tension will be released.

A recent piece by Adam Rothstein gives us an idea of what the first few moments of such a quake might look like in the city of Portland, Oregon…

Cacophony swells from the city as if it is howling in response to the earth’s call: car alarms, shattering glass, the thudding of bricks popping out of building facades, humans screaming in fright, and far off, echoes of what sound like dumpsters clattering to the ground from the jaws of garbage trucks. It is the sound of shifting foundations and collapsing masonry, continuously, a roar increasing from every direction. It is the sound of the living surfaces that a city takes for granted becoming undone.

Since we have not experienced such an earthquake in any of our lifetimes, it is easy to assume that one will never happen.

But that is not what the scientists are telling us.

In fact, they insist that the odds of “a continent-rending earthquake” in the near future are actually quite good…

The Pacific Northwest is due for a continent-rending earthquake. Experts believe the odds of a Big One happening in the next half century are about one in three, the odds of a Very Big One roughly one in ten, and that, in either case, we are disastrously unprepared.

And let us not forget that the Cascadia Subduction Zone sits directly along the Ring of Fire, and the Ring of Fire has started to become much more active in recent years.

In addition, if the region starts to become more seismically active there is also a very real possibility that we could see a full-blown eruption of Mt. Rainier, which has been described as “the most dangerous mountain in America“.

Let us hope that we have as much time as possible before our nation has to deal with such calamities, but the cold, hard truth is that we are certainly not helping matters by acting so wickedly.

If we continue to do the same things that we have been doing, it is only a matter of time before the judgment of God comes to our land in a major way.  We are killing millions of babies, harvesting their body parts and auctioning those body parts off to the highest bidder.  To many Americans that may seem like “old news”, but I assure you that this is not “old news” to God.

I don’t think that it was any accident that the series of undercover Planned Parenthood videos that were released last year came out when they did.  We were being shown our guilt and we were being given one last chance to repent.

There was a congressional hearing about this last Wednesday.  The following comes from CNSNews.com…

“Have we reached a point in our society where there effectively is an Amazon.com for human parts, entire babies?” Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) asked the witnesses at a special hearing on bioethics and fetal tissue on Wednesday.

Dr. Gerard Kevin Donovan, a pediatrician and bioethicist at Georgetown University, responded that the practice of using tissue from aborted babies for government-funded research “shocks my conscience and it should shock the conscience of the nation.”

Unfortunately, the buying and selling of harvested baby parts does not shock the conscience of our nation.  In fact, most surveys show that an overwhelming percentage of the American people want to continue giving hundreds of millions of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood each year even though they have been doing this.(source)

Since we have not responded to God’s calls to repent, all that is left is for Him to shake us.

And without a doubt, the shaking is coming soon…

There is still time for you to prepare, but you have to start learning how to make your own survival foods as soon as humanly possible. The best way to do it is to get the inside scoop on how to do it right. Fortunately, there is a way to get twenty years worth of The Lost Ways. This new food storage system is called The Lost Ways.
