EarthQuake & Volcano Update for April 22nd, And It Isn't Good - Updated
By William Cormier
The continuous activity in the Cascadia Subduction Zone becomes more ominous by the day (IMO), and the people of Mexico are praying the Popocatepetl volcano will not experience a major eruption, as millions of people live within a 60 mile radius of the volcano.

EarthQuake & Volcano Update for April 22nd, And It Isn't Good
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
I believe this could be an extremely important update:
Gheorghe Marmureanu--from Romania's National Institute of Earth Physics--says 39 quakes had hit the globe within two days.The series started with two massive quakes in Indonesia measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale rapidly followed within hours by three more in Mexico only slightly smaller. "There is no doubt that something is seriously wrong. There have been too many strong earthquakes," said Marmureanu.
He added: "The quakes are a surprise that cannot be easily explained by current scientific knowledge. With the Indonesian quake for example, statistically, there should be one big earthquake in this part of Asia every 500 years. However, since 2004, there have already been three quakes with a magnitude of over 8, which is not normal."
A fierce earthquake from the Nicobar Islands[1] could strike over Songkran, sending a tsunami crashing into the Andaman Coast, an expert warned yesterday after finding that the 8.6-magnitude Sumatran tremor three days ago was exceptionally deep. "Whenever there is a quake rooted in the [Earth's] mantle, a following quake will be likely in the next few days," said Professor Thanawat Jaruphongsakul, a senior seismologist at Chulalongkorn University.

This will be Short. First , the Mexican government has issued a Red Alert for the Popocatepetl volcano, where millions of people live with a 60 mile radius of Popocatepetl.

People living on the slopes of the Popocatepetl volcano near Mexico City are watching with concern as the volcano spews ash and burning rocks.
Columns of ash have been shooting from more than 60 openings in the crust of the 5,450m (17,900-foot) volcano.
The authorities have raised the alert level and have planned evacuation routes and shelters in case of a large explosion.

The above volcano has been erupting for days and appears to be building-up for a major eruption. Let's hope not.
In news that could directly affect the United States, there has been another 4.4 magnitude earthquake in the area of the Cascadia Subduction Zone at a depth of 7.2 miles. This new quake is in the northernmost region of the Zone. I would like to see the USGS tell me now that the Cascadia Subduction Zone has not become active again (Sic).
Again, be safe, and above all, be prepared. I believe that this activity reinforces the previous article that I posted titled "The Latest Nuclear Issue In Japan & Article The MSM Is Refusing To Report When Millions Of Lives At Stake," as the Cascadia Subduction Zone, if it does experience a Mega-Quake in the near future, could provide the Tsunami that would devastate the rest of the Daiichi nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan. It also stands as evidence that earthquakes and volcanic activity are moving northward and our belief in Earthquake patterns.
NOTE: The great photo of the Popocatepetl volcano was submitted by Maria De Wind who posts on the Blog 12160, of which I am also a member. If you click her name you can view other photos and videos she has posted from Mexico. Last I heard from her, she was "heading south and would be back in approx. a week. If this volcano does experience a major eruption, it could become one of the global communities greatest tragedies and has the potential of taking more lives than the 2004 Tsunami that struck Indonesia in 2004.
Authors Bio:
My Bio is as varied as my life. In 2012, my twin sons murdered a Journalist in Pensacola, Fl., for 100K worth of "Magic The Gathering" playing cards and buried the body in my backyard. I was once a regular writer here, but PTSD from my son's actions took their toll. First, I lost everything I had. Second, I lost my fiancee. Third, I almost lost my life. Recovery has been a hard and lonesome road, and it isn't quite over yet. I will overcome this disaster as I have others, and return to college to resume my quest to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism.
Admittedly, I have chosen to get back in the mix and do my duty to help destroy any chance that Trump may have of being elected to a second term.
