Yes i am living in croatia, capital city Zagreb and we had 5.3 richter quake in May, but this is new series of quakes in only 50 kms distance, yesterday 5.0 richter and today 6.2 richter. Cities of Sisak and Petrinja are devastated, and every hour aftershocks, 2-4 richter. So far 7 death and 400 injured and increasing. Hospitals are devastated, so injured people are transfered to other cities hospitals which are overloaded because covid 19 pandemy. Few thoursands lost homes, our brothers and sisters to, i dont know yet how many brother lost everything, maybe health or life.

 

City of Sisak is ancient city, known history about 4. century named Segestica. Most buildings were very old, more than 90 years, last quake vas 1909, this 6.2 lasts 10 seconds.

FYI

Wichita, Kansas got a rude early seismic wake-up call this morning just after 5am. With an epicenter in the northeast of the city, the 3.8 was widely felt across all neighborhoods. You can see where and submit your own report here: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

Just thought the headline was kinda funny.

MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE CAN HIT ISRAEL ANY DAY NOW, GEOLOGISTS WARN: “IS GOG-MAGOG WAR UPON US?”

 

A recent study concluded that a massively destructive earthquake is due to hit Israel any day. The same researcher said that such earthquakes served as prophetic mile markers in the Bible and may even have been responsible for the earthshaking victory of the Children of Israel at Jericho.

 

MAJOR EARTHQUAKE ONCE EVERY 130 YEARS

 

Researchers from Tel Aviv University published a report in Science Advances journal in which they warn that a potentially devastating earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter Scale is expected to hit Israel in the near future. The study reviewed about 220,000 years of Dead-Sea geology by drilling and studying the seabed concluded that a major earthquake hits the region once every 130-150 years, though shorter intervals are possible. 

 

Israel is in a geologically active region. Israel is seismically active, located along the Syrian-African fault line, which runs along the Israel-Jordan border, part of the Great Rift Valley that runs from eastern Lebanon to Mozambique. The Jordan Rift Valley is the result of tectonic movements within the Dead Sea Transform (DSF) fault system. The DSF forms the transform boundary between the African Plate to the west and the Arabian Plate to the east. The Golan Heights and all of Transjordan are part of the Arabian Plate, while the Galilee, Judean and Samarian highlands (West Bank), Coastal Plain, and Negev along with the Sinai Peninsula are on the African Plate. This tectonic disposition leads to a relatively high seismic activity in the region.

 

The region has experienced many earthquakes, the most destructive ones being those of 31 BCE, 363 CE, 749 CE, and 1033 CE. The 1759 events, along with the earlier 1202 Syria earthquake and subsequent tsunami with over one million deaths attributed to it, were likely the strongest historical earthquakes in the region. 

The last major earthquake to hit Israel was the 6.5 magnitude Jericho earthquake in 1927. The death toll in Jerusalem included more than 130 people and around 450 were injured. About 300 houses collapsed or were severely damaged to the point of not being usable. The earthquake also caused heavy damage to the domes of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the al-Aqsa Mosque. The death toll in Shechem (Nablus) included more than 150 people and around 250 were injured. The Mosque of Victory and the historic parts of the Great Mosque of Nablus were severely damaged.

Isaiah 33:24  "And no resident will say: “I am sick.”
