And in the Last Days, earthquakes and all manner of natural disasters will abound. There will be wars and rumours of war. Then the Heavens will part for the Son of God.

Stop guzzling your lunch and you'd learn something.

Those earthquakes have been predicted. The foreshadowing came from the crop circles.

There! That'a something your peabrain won't get from CNN or Foxy Newsy.

YEA , damn right they were predicted , by the same scientists that you despise .Now I know you have a hell of a hard time grasping anything scientific but earth quakes happen all the time . Even here in wonderful Hamilton Ontario Canada so for all our sakes take a deep breath and go sit down and have a beer , eh .

Dumb Shit Brit!:)))

It's all there, shitforbrains.

The crop circles have been warning the British Isles for years that earquakes were slowly developing. The crop circles indicate strong magnetic shifts brought on by unseen forces deep with the earth. These in turn cause land faults. Hence, the earthquakes.

Have someone read this to you. And learn how to spell.

You're a dope because you take dope.

Hopefully this earthquake has made Britain less appealing to the third world immigrant hordes. One can hope.

No, the crop circles indicate strong cider! Come to jolly old England some day, Somerset, Devon, Dorset, etc, and meet the yokel farmers and they will show you how they create those crop circles, I have watched them do it myself. They use wooden boards and rope, and lots of walking, Googly wookly it.

Agreed. I lived there for years and up until the last year or so, I had no idea an earthquake affected England/Wales. Watch Watchman Watch....

Sorry, but if you didnt know earthquakes affected england, then you are clearly ignorant, every inch of this earth experiences earthquakes. You probably didnt know we have tornados either, hahahaha.

The average eathquake recurrence the UK may expect can be described as follows:

an earthquake of 3.7 or larger every 1 year

an earthquake of 4.7 or larger every 10 years

an earthquake of 5.6 or larger every 100 years

April 2007 - Folkestone, Kent (magnitude 4.3)
December 2006 - Dumfries and Galloway (3.5)
September 2002 - Dudley, West Midlands (5.0)
October 2001 - Melton Mowbray (4.1)
September 2000 - Warwick (4.2)
April 1990 - Bishop's Castle, Shropshire (5.1)
July 1984 - Nefyn, north Wales (5.4)
June 1931 - in North Sea near Great Yarmouth (6.1)

LOL Predicted would be location, date and time....not spurious nonsensical texts. LOL

I love the way the plebes wait for an event THEN claim prediction.

OK, list here the next 50 Earthquakes by Location, Time and Date....let's see how good the predictions are LOL

Interesting one that one: Name as "Broken Linc".

@ my loc: P wave train was similar to a handful of round cornered 1m size yahtsee dice rolling down the tarmac road outside the house, lasted ~4.5 seconds and diminished toward the end.

S wave train similar but scale up handful of Yahtsee dice to 3m. That wavetrain lasted about 18 seconds and again diminished slowly.

This one was extraordinarily noisy, but motion was grumble rather than rock & roll, there was very little in the way of "Lurch" in any direction, but one slight S. directed one in the S train not much bigger than the rumble train. Wave frequency somewhere between 0.1 and 0.5 Hz, & dont forget those big rolling dice thrown in for the "rumble & grind" sound effect.

Was in fact similar to being in the very distant region of a catastrophic explosion (no big wind & clangy bits hitting the ground though).

No damage @ all to the house.

Did the Mohammedeans in the North really crap themselves?

*
By comparison the "Dudley Bug" of Sept 02 was about as noisy in the P wave train, but the S wave train began with a lurch S. then another corner rounding lurch W. before becoming a major rock & roll wave train with lots of general noise & snapping bits in the house. That one put a few hairlines in my plasterwork & tiles & lasted about 40 seconds before becoming undetectable and a further 15 or 20 seconds before becoming inaudible.
*

Missed this one earlier.

oh: almost forgot. How did all those pew 10 year old new build breeze block condos stand up to a bit of vibe?

Have a nice day: Ag
