We have had 3 major earthquakes hit our planet in the last 24 hours, but I don't see the major news networks reporting it. I find this news HUGE! One reason, because it is rare for this many big earthqakes to hit so closely together and in 3 different locations.
I've been watching this site for over 3 years now and I can tell you this is extremely rare for three 7.0 earthquakes to happen in just one day (if it's ever happened since I've been watching, I don't think it has. I certainly don't remember this ever happening.)
Check this site to see a list of the earthquakes that have hit the planet in the last 30 days. There are a lot of 6.0 and aboves in just 30 days! Again...that's very rare.
Earthquakes are a big sign of birth pangs. When they start to happen more frequently and more intensely (like birth pangs), we're getting closer to His return!
Here's an interesting article about one of the most recent big ones. A quake all the way across the Pacific Ocean hit so hard and deep, it caused false earthquake alarms in California! ....
Huge quake beneath Mariana Islands causes false quake reports in Bay Area

MENLO PARK - A major, magnitude 7.4 earthquake that occurred this morning deep below the Marianas Islands in the South Pacific trigged a series of false earthquake reports in the Bay Area minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey says.
Seismologist David Oppenheimer, who heads the San Francisco Bay Area Earthquake Project, said the high frequency vibrations from the giant quake were so strong that the 430 quake automated reporting stations in Northern California interpreted the shock waves as caused by a local earthquake.
Each station transmitted its findings to an automated software system in Menlo Park called an "automator." There were so many reports from so many stations that the software assumed there was more than one quake, Oppenheimer said. By the time the shaking eased, the software had created six false quakes at various locations in the Bay Area from Marin to the Peninsula to the East Bay with magnitudes ranging from magnitude 3.8 to 4.2.
The false reports were posted automatically on the USGS Web site and at least some of the 110,000 people who signed up for earthquake notification by cell phone were called. The quake was also picked up and interpreted as local by the same software in Southern California, which reported a false quake there, Oppenheimer said.
