A disaster has been declared in Texas from a swarm of 61 unusually strong earthquakes in seven days, with the largest tremor so far being a 5.1 magnitude earthquake, with this event causing widespread structural damage and safety concerns.
The Scurry County Judge officially declared a disaster and urgently requested disaster assistance after damage was found in businesses and residences throughout the county from the massive number of recurring earthquakes.
Dozens of earthquakes have been rumbling out in this area west of Fort Worth, Texas, where the first 4.9 magnitude earthquake occurred that started the swarm of earthquakes.
So far there have been four earthquakes in the swarm that were 4.0 magnitude or larger, with the highest magnitude at the 5.1 level.
Earthquakes like this have not been the norm for Texas in the past.
Texas officials have continued to say that the “suspected” cause of these earthquakes is attributed to human business activities. Where they link human activity as injecting water into the earth to help with oil and gas well extractions as the cause.
But the truth is this is “suspected” and not proven, with much more research that would need to be conducted to pinpoint this as the cause.
And experts from the United States Geological Survey are saying that the depth of these earthquakes in this swarm are more likely linked to natural causes within the earth because of how deep these earthquakes are.
And the magnitude of these earthquakes in such a large swarm are considered unusual and strong for this area of Texas.
Which forced the county administrative judge to declare a disaster due to the increased strong seismic activity causing structural damage, safety concerns, and resource mobilization issues.
And the swarm is not over, as just today the latest report said that the number of earthquakes now is up to 90 tremors shaking the earth there and rising!
Where the emergency management coordinator for the county said that the people there are on edge wondering what is going to come next.
So far the damage is limited to cracks in foundations and in the walls and the ceilings of residences and businesses along with water line breakage.
And the issuance of the declaration of disaster has mobilized resources to take the necessary steps to help ensure the safety and well-being of the communities.
In case the events keep getting worse and like with any natural disaster humanity cannot predict the future.
A little known fact for many is that Texas has now become an earthquake capital in the United States. As Texas, who in the past did not have many earthquakes, now has more earthquakes than California.
As earthquakes have increased by close to 300 percent, with more 2.5 magnitude and upward earthquakes happening in Texas than California.
The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation 6) foretell that there will be diverse earthquakes in various places of the Last Days signaling the world is nearing the end of this age and the coming of Jesus Christ.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3:3-5) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:18-19) described how (Acts 2).
