In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was an eclipse of the Sun which was greater than any known before and in the sixth hour of the day it became night; so that stars appeared in the heaven; and a great earthquake that broke out in Bithynia destroyed the greatest part of Nicaea. — Phlegon<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n“… there was an eclipse of the Sun at the time of a new Moon, and in the early part of the same month an earthquake.” — Thucydides<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n“earthquakes and eclipses of the Sun which came to pass more frequently than had been remembered in former times.” — Thucydides<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nAnd I behold when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as blood. — Revelation 6:12<\/strong><\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAlso, and this is just a gut feeling, nothing else, but there seems to have been a greater spread of lesser quakes throughout the West Pacific of late. So, rather than one large quake, 5.0+ quakes in 3 or 4 different West Pacific locations. Probably nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This month there have been just two 6.5+ earthquakes worldwide:

\nNormally, on average, there is one every 6.8 days. Statistically this isn’t so strange – next month we might have seven, and it all balances out.
\nHowever, with solar eclipses due on June 1 and July 1, and a lunar eclipse in-between (June 15), there is an eerie feeling of calm before the storm.
\nSpeaking of storm, many scientists have concluded that some earthquakes do arrive in clusters, or earthquake storms. A mega-quake in 2012 could set off a series of storms. I’ve mentioned this in my new article Eclipses and Earthquakes, where I reiterate that during a lunar eclipse strong earthquakes are twice as likely …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[239,298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-earthquakes","category-eclipses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1199"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1202,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1199\/revisions\/1202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/survive2012.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
