Volcanic Activity Appears To Be Working It's Way Around The "Ring of Fire"

Based on what we’ve seen so far, with natural disasters rising at an unprecedented rate, and especially in consideration of the “overdue” status of several of our areas that are prone to major disasters, those on the west coast should take heed and prepare themselves as best they can for what by all scientific standards is overdue. That includes the Cascadia Seduction Zone, several faults in addition to the San Andreas Fault, some which have been “locked” for far too long that crisscross several areas of California.

We haven’t had a major quake or volcanic eruption in the United States for several years which has almost been too good to be true, but with events transpiring as they are, I’m making an educated guess that as soon as tomorrow, but more than likely in the next few months, we will experience a catastrophic quake or major volcanic activity in the continental United States, and we can’t write Alaska or Hawaii off either; there have been recent rumblings in the Aleutian Islands and KILAUEA started acting-up on January 2 - 8, 2008.

I just learned there was another quake in the Aleutian Islands at 12:25 this morning, the magnitude which has not yet been stated. This is a visual link to the recent earthquake activity throughout the “Ring of Fire”. Please note the heavy activity in Alaska and the minor activity in California. The West Coast and Alaska are on the “Ring of Fire”, and in consideration of the events that have transpired, it appears to be possible, if not probable that South and North America could soon experience some major volcanic/seismic activity.

As it concerns Yellowstone National Park, I do believe that one third of the budging that has occurred over the past century happened within the last three year to be significant, and in raw scientific terms I’m not sure what it means, however based on the way CNN attempted to downplay the story indicates to me there may be some serious concern in that area; but, worrying about Yellowstone blowing is akin to a huge asteroid strike on the world. If either were ever to happen, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it, so why worry?

NOTE: The most recent information I have suggests the US is only in possession of a fifty-three (53) day food supply. With natural disasters on the rise worldwide, this is not acceptable. New Orleans proved we are not invincible and were grossly under prepared, and some of these events are long overdue; we’ve been lucky, but with a population of 300,000,000+ million people, to fail to prepare as a nation is a crime in of itself - and if it’s not corrected, the potential death toll could stagger the imagination. Think about Avian Flu, which could morph into a dangerous virus that mutates until we have human to human transmission. In those circumstances, how long will a fifty-three day food supply actually last to a nation that is experiencing a pandemic?
