Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Oklahoma is getting a new set of maps.
The U.S. Geological Survey announced they will be releasing new earthquake hazard maps for Oklahoma after collections of data from a swarm of quakes the last few years.
Oklahoma in the last year has received more quakes of 3.0 or greater than California. The number of quakes in the state has been 300 times higher in the last six years compared to previous decades.
The news of the maps comes on the heels of another report from the USGS that Oklahoma is likely to see a major quake from reawakened fault lines.
“By identifying the faults, we are providing some guidance about where major earthquakes can happen,” Dan McNamara, USGS research geophysicist and lead author of the paper, said in a news release.
McNamara says that current maps are underestimating the earthquake hazard for not just Oklahoma but bordering states as well.
Thank you for posting this information. America needs to understand that earthquakes are possible in places other than California and that there has been an exponential increase in magnitude and frequency regarding earthquakes. The key to survival is being prepared to the point of self-reliance because our infrastructure will not support a fleet of National Guard vehicles – our infrastructure has received near failing grades on the condition of our roads and bridges. So, the only ones that may come to the rescue will be your neighbors – take care of each other, and pray every day. Sign up for email alerts from the USGS and stay alert to the news. Make a plan for you and your family right now. Key elements are water, fire, communications (scanners and walkie talkies), and food (dehyrdated). Have a map of your local camp ground and national parks just in case you may need to bug out. If security is an issue for you, other provisions will have to be made including self-defense weapons of some type. Remember there will be no utilities for a number of days and weeks, so you will be “off the grid”. Think about practicing and drilling these skills until they become second nature. Always include your bible as part of your emergency supply kit.
