October 21, 2011 – KERMADEC – A powerful 7.4 (downgraded from 7.6) magnitude earthquake jolted New Zealand’s Kermadec Islands region early Saturday morning at a depth of 39.8 km (24.7 miles), the US Geological Survey said. The epicenter of the earthquake struck the ocean floor and was 180 km (112 miles) E (79°) from Raoul Island, Kermadec Islands and 870 km (541 miles) from NUKU’ALOFA, Tonga. A tsunami alert was issued and then canceled. –The Extinction Protocol

    Signs of the times –research Bible Prophecy. It is a wonderful time for believers to be alive and witness the signs come to be.

      Currently (if you are interested) you can find books, DVD’s Movies etc all warning about the coming end times….. They are citing the MAYAN Calendar and Nostradamus – even Edgar Cayce gets a mention. Me personally – I would prefer to stick with the Bible – after all it is the Word of God.

      We were warned there will be many false prophets coming to warn us, but how can we recognize a false teacher / false prophet?”

      What does the Bible say about the end of the world?

    The Pacific plate must be under a lot of stress, or getting very buoyant! Almost all earthquakes today were either on, or very near its boundaries. Not sure about the Japan quake but it is still very near the Pacific plate.

    Current volcanic Canary Islands (AVCAN)
    Teleseísmo captured by almost all the stations Canary, interestingly, the station of El Hierro, seems almost immune to the teleseísmos. There are only a reflection of him in the very low frequencies. CHIE in El Hierro, is a “short period” as the NACC in las Cañadas del Teide, that records only “high frequency” signals…. why not so register as soon as it CHIE and does NACC? The powerful tremor Hierro hides almost all of the signal? (JR) http://www.IGN.es/IGN/layoutInvolcaSenalesAyerHoy.do#

    @Armand:
    Look at this, interesting proportionality between the P & S – waves. That slip fault plane was something else in size. If it hadn’t been a slo-mo quake it would have been a competitor to the Japanese quake for this years biggest counted in energy.

    It seems,like these Quakes,are moving around the Pacific Plate,counter clockwise! I Hope! I’m wrong,but in the next couple days,their should be a major Earthquake,somewhare on the eastern side of the Pasific Plate?? Maybe west coast of Mexico,or Calif.,I’m no expert,by far,so I HOPE,I’m WRONG!!!!!

    the Tsunami might not happen but there will be an earthquake wave flowing up and down that fault hitting weak spots which may in the following months cause new earthquakes and the possibility of real tsunami conditions – that hotspsot has been heating up quite a lot recently :/

    It’s difficult to predict what happens next. Only as on onlooker over events during the last year, all activity in magma, and earthquakes, and very oddly the Sun, are all locked into CYCLE. It’s like a brief period of crazy activity, then, a lull.
    Then, Whoof, another period of unexpected activity.
    But the periods between quite, and active, are getting shorter.
    I wish there were more scientists like João Magueijo about. Outside of Alvins work, he gets my attention every time. He questions everything.!!
    A bit like everyone who blogs here.!!

    JustMeinTMusings, The Bible foretold all that’s taking place. Jesus warned these things would take place preceding His return. The Bible also warns of scoffers in the Last Days. We are leaving here soon praise God!
