Now I know that by now, you have probably heard about the terrible earthquake in Haiti and also about the massive earthquake in Chile. These two events, just a couple of weeks apart from each other, have drawn a lot of media coverage (if you haven't heard about them... well I just don't know what to say to you), and I am pretty sure, although we shouldn't feel this way, that by now, you have grown tired of hearing about these natural disasters. Well, as the bearer of bad news, I must inform you that mother nature has, yet again, unleashed a powerful earthquake (6.4 magnitude) upon the world, in Taiwan, today at aproximately 11:30 AM. Although only 96 people were injured (much less than in Chile or Haiti), I find this to be very troubling news.
Now, I don't believe in any 2012 or end-of-the-world theories, but I am concerned with the very numerous, and quite intense (The earthquake in Chile actually shifted Earth's axis and made days shorter), earthquakes ocurring in quick succession recently. The thing about eartquakes is that, although they are terrible disasters on their own, they usually occur prior to another major catastrophe, such as a tsunami or a volcanic eruption. This is exactly why I am bothered so much by these events. Now, you might be thinking that I am crazy, but you must understand that it is very rare to have earthquakes occuring in such quick succession, and although there is a chance that these events are completely unrelated, I think that it is more reasonable, based purely on statistics, that they are tied to each other. Whether or not these earthquakes are merely the result of basic tectonic motion, occuring at random moments, or whether these are tied together remains to be seen. It could easily be that one earthquake just triggered another, and the latter triggered this one... Now this is a wild guess, and I really hope this doesn't occur, but I predict that a volcano, a massive one, somewhere around the world is going to erupt soon. (Just a quick fact: All of Yellowstone National Park, all of it, is a volcano. That makes it the largest in the world, and it was set to explode over 500 years ago. That means its overdue. Just something to think about.) What do you think about all of this? Is it coincidence, or perhaps a foreshadowing, not of some 2012 bullcrap, but of a serious, if not at least real, disaster that is going to occur?

In my opinion all these recent natural disasters could very well be a sign of worse things to come. The two earthquakes that hit Haiti and Chile recently were some of the biggest and more destructive of all time. These recent earthquakes might be just the beginning of the natural disasters, hopefully I'm wrong and this not true, but I think all the hurricanes and earthquakes over the last couples are more than just coincidence.
