Seven quakes have rocked Caribbean islands as of Saturday and another tremor occurred in Haiti this Monday, raising concern among experts about a likely seismic reactivation in the area. “For some days we have observed an unusual activity that seems to be linked to the subduction of the Caribbean tectonic plate,” Saint Lucian seismologist Bruce Kleever told Prensa Latina. Seven tremors were felt in the British overseas territories in East Caribbean over the weekend, according to the Disaster Management Department of the Virgin Islands. “The seismic events were of 3.5-4.6 magnitude and could also be felt in Puerto Rico.
We’re following closely the situation in the area,” said Kleever. A 4.3-magnitude quake rocked southern Haiti early morning today, one year, ten months and two days after the worst seism in the history of this country occurred. No damages or fatalities have been reported so far, but the people panicked as they relived the nightmare. According to the expert, the tremor might indicate an area of seismic activity also in the northern Caribbean plate. For years, the specialists have feared the likelihood of powerful quakes and ensuing tsunamis in the Caribbean because of the existence in the area of important focuses of danger of tectonic movement. One of them is located near Dominica, considered the point with the largest number of potentially active volcanoes in the world. However, Kleever said panic must not be triggered among the population. “Just remain on alert and take steps in case of any tremor,” he said. Steps include going to open, safer spaces, mainly in highlands, far from buildings. The Caribbean currently lacks a tsunami early warning system. Such a device would be likely available by year 2014. Watch over the area is carried out from the Hawaii-based Tsunami Warning Center, in the Pacific. At least 88 tsunamis have occurred in the Caribbean in the past 500 years, the worst of them in 1946, killing some 1,600 people.
Gulf Of Mexico just might be the first blow from these mega quakes-tsunami’s. Caribbean Plate area is very vulnerable and I suspect very dangerous in 2012. The boy who cried wolf eventually got it right but it was too late and he was ignored, I Pray this doesn’t happen. Over 35 million are in jeopardy folks. A Fear and Warning of impending calamity should be taken seriously too many have confirmed an Earth in “STRESS,” mode!
I use to be skeptical with reference to UFO’s, Alien visitors etc. A doubting thomas on whether Jesus actually lived and died. I’m not a fan of religion because of the misuse of caretaker of souls, Wars, and riches. So much has been open to mankind since my childhood that I can’t out rule a “GOD,” of all things good and bad. A pattern seems to have emerged and realities given from none other than the Bible itself! The Shroud of Turin now shown face revealed through computer imaging. Bible-Code embeded in the Tora old testament and confirmed by some of the lost sea scrolls. Many Ancient advanced civilizations being unearthed on land and sea. Super-super computers on the cusps of mans next evolve. 200 years to triple our brain power and on track to do it again in less than 50 years. Artificial intelligence within 15-30 years. Algae to replace oil and all its byproducts soon!
I have learned more in the last 6 years than in all my other 54. So please tell me why soo many believe we are in the last days? A re-birth to tolerance and God fearing with real reform to a better world is what our free will should lead us. A more balanced life, balanced budgets, less government, less welfare, less tax, secure programs that are proven to work all others to be phased out!
