I'm just joining the discussion today.
The Mardi Gras connection to the quake was on my mind to. News reports were saying that the mayor of Seattle quipped "enought already!" This was after the violence and the quake in such short succession.
Imagine what will be said when the earth groans even more before the Lord's coming.
The media is reporting 2 scenarios that could be nightmarish for those who live in the Pacific Northwest. 1)There's a plate just offshore that could be pressed downward causing a tsunami that will flood Puget Sound--and then 2)there's Mount Rainier...(Lots of snow has been melting since the early '90s)
People say that it's "lucky" that the quake was on a deep plate, but like dominoes, (or pastors shifting districts throughout a conference) that could that could affect the geological integrity of the entire region.
