Years from now, that is if the Mayan predictions are unauthentic, we would be reminded of 2010 as the year of Earthquake. Why baptize that year with that dishonorable title? Let me count the quakes.
January 12. Five in the afternoon. Haiti experienced a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that killed 222 thousand people.
February 27. Three in the morning. The city of Maule in Chile was struck by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that instantly killed 432 people.
March 8. Four in the morning. It was Turkey’s time. The province of Elazig is trembled by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake and had 57 fatalities.
Aside from these three major quakes, 2010 experienced 11 more deadly earthquakes ranging from 6.2 to 7.9 magnitude in different parts of the world including Argentina, Japan and Indonesia.
Early this week, Baja California experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that killed 2 innocent lives. And just this morning, Sumatra was hit by a 7.8 earthquake.
Some people are asking, is this a sign of a bigger tragedy? A premonition? But of what? My dear fellow human beings, we just entered the second quarter of the year. And no matter what rocks us in the coming months, don’t ever let your faith shake.
