A huge 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit off Russia’s east coast triggering a tsunami warning in the region. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake hit about five miles deep and struck about 50 miles west of Nikol’skoye.

Following the earthquake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) issued a tsunami warning for the Komandorskiye Ostrova region in Russia.

After the initial quake was reported, USGS reported four smaller earthquakes within about 30 minutes of each other.

The first two earthquakes following the 7.4 quake registered as having a magnitude of 5.6, while the third and fourth had a magnitude of 5.0.

Earthquakes are measured on the Richter magnitude scale, which identifies a magnitude 7.4 quake as a major earthquake. During an earthquake of that magnitude, structures will be seriously damaged, possibly causing a collapse.

But since the earthquake in Russia occurred out at sea, it’s unlikely to have caused much damage.

Eastern Russia lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” which encircles the entire Pacific Ocean basin, and accounts for the vast majority of the world’s earthquakes and active volcanoes.

The Ring of Fire has a string of 452 volcanoes stretching from the southern tip of South America, up along the coast of North America, across the Bering Strait, down through Japan, and into New Zealand. Several active and dormant volcanoes in Antarctica ‘close’ the ring.

The prophecies of the Holy Bible foretell severe earthquakes as a sign of the Last Days which could be also realized around the Ring of Fire.
