Is there really an increase in seismic activity? From some perspectives it certainly seems that there
is, but scientists remind us that this could also be due to the increased effectiveness in measuring and reporting
events. In any case, there is no doubt that this period of time qualifies as a fulfillment of the prophecy that
"there will be earthquakes!"

April Had a Record Number of Big Earthquakes
May 1, 2014 - Instead of the typical one or two medium-to-large earthquakes per month, April records showed an incredible 13 quakes of magnitudes 6.5 or higher.
Five of them were powerful enough to generate tsunami warnings. See an animation that shows the pattern of earthquakes during the month.

Powerful earthquake strikes off Chile, triggers tsunami
Apr. 1, 2014 - An 8.2-magnitude earthquake has occurred approximately 60 miles northwest of Iquique, Chile. The depth of the quake was 12.5 miles.
Tsunami waves of more than 6 feet generated by the earthquake washed ashore on the coast of Pisagua... Iquique, with a population of more than
200,000, saw waves 7 feet high.
Tsunami watches for the west coasts of North and South America have now been cancelled.

4.4 earthquake hits L.A.; experts were warned ahead of quake
Mar. 17, 2014 - A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck the Los Angeles area this morning about five miles from Westwood. Seismologist Robert Graves
said that it was the most significant shake in this Southern California area since the magnitude 5.5 earthquake in Chino Hills in 2008. He also said that
the affected area has not been seismically active recently.
Nancy King, geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said: "We live in earthquake country and we can expect earthquakes frequently and the big one,
one day. We don’t know when that one’s coming.”
An early earthquake warning system being tested by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey in Pasadena was successful in giving an alert a few seconds before the quake.
