Is the world coming to an end?

My family and friends have been hit hard because of the 2010 baja california earthquake. The magnitude was greater than the Haiti earthquake. Although the death toll doesnt compare at all, the damage done is unbelievable. Most of my family members live in Ejido Oaxaca, Mexico, which was right next to the Epicenter. I want to setup a website so people can donate money which can be helpful for Food and water. We have had a couple of phone calls to them and they said that the gallon of water has sky rocketed in the local markets to 60 pesos which is about 6 dollars. People dont have this kind of money so they need our help…

so far i have created this blog.

http://2010earthquakerelief.blogspot.com/

but now how do i make it so that people can see it and make a donation?..

Are these just chain reactions, or is there a bigger picture?

So this year I have taken an interest in keeping up with earthquakes and where/when they are occurring. I’ve been checking this site http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/ at least every week if not everyday to keep track of recent earthquakes. A few things have caught my attention in the graph:
-Over the past few months I’ve noticed that there are usually an average of 200 earthquakes at one time on the map and last night I checked it and it jumped to 922, then when I checked it this morning it was up to 1000+….my question is why? and what are your opinions.
-Also, I’ve noticed that the graph never shows an earthquake occurring in Africa. Why is this? I imagine that like every other continent it has to have its share of earthquakes.
-I don’t know if its just me or maybe suddenly the news has decided to show more earthquake articles and such or maybe(although doubtful) I am watching more news than before and I was just never aware that earthquakes were so common. Especially with the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Baja California, and etc. Does anybody else find it odd and scary?

Ok…I asked a question on here not to long ago about all the big earthquakes happening in such a short span of time for this year alone.

We have had huge earthquakes in Haiti, Turkey, Japan, Indonesia, Chile, Baja California and now there was another one today in Spain at 6.2 and we are only in our 4th month for 2010.

I got a lot of intelligent answers explaining how the Earth plates shift and so on and so on which brings on an earthquake. But does anyone know WHY the plates beneath the Earth are shifting so frequently so that we are having these earthquakes one right after another all over the world?

I don’t want to be downer, but something huge is going on beneath the Earth and I’m not talking about only in California but the world.

When you step back and look at the big picture, it’s downright scary to me. I know what’s going to happen is going to happen but it’s still scary.

Your thoughts on this?

Major earthquakes have hit Haiti, then Chile, and now on the west coast. Does this mean we are in for a major shift in the tectonic plates that we are sitting on? What will that mean for the rest of the planet? How will the shapes of our continents be affected?

I know we have always had earthquakes in one place or another but now they are happening closer together and the magnitude of them are getting stronger and stronger. We have also had thousands of earthquakes but they were relatively small and not noticeable.

Now, today there was another one in Indonesia at 7.8. So we have had big ones in Haiti, Japan, Turkey and Baja, CA all this year and we are only in the month of April.

Your thoughts please. I would really like to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks.

I’m making a slide show of pictures I took in Haiti last month (earthquake relief) and I need a song (or two…or three) to put to them. I’m looking for something really powerful…nothing cheesy. Doesn’t necessarily need to have vocals. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The latest: telethons for Haiti. They use their celebrity to plea to the financial generosity of Americans, most of whom are suffering financial gridlock or hardships of their own–joblessness, trouble caring for their own children, lack of medical affordability, homelessness.

A thousand or one million dollars to them is like a hundred or one thousand to us. If they *really* cared, wouldn’t they just cough up the cash? A tax deduction being an added benefit?

Yeah, George Clooney is such a hero for taking a few hours of his off time, isn’t he?

In another month or two, the drama will cease and everybody will have forgotten about the earthquake victims of Haiti–just like the forgotten victims in New Orleans.

Cynic or realist–you decide.
…and if they’re such humanists, why don’t they summon help or financially rescue the American people (the fans who made them rich and famous) who are suffering?

I was just wondering because there have been some very large earthquakes within a short period of time, for instance Haiti, Chili, and the recent one in California. Please find out and I would appreciate a scientific answer

First Haiti, then Chile, then Turkey, now Cali. This is getting pretty crazy, and I know quakes are caused by the plates moving, but why are they all happening now?

A friend of mine from the Israeli Defense Forces is working in Haiti (Israel has actually contributed a lot to the disaster relief) and she has voiced concerned about a strong and growing resentment both toward the UN and toward Haitian women over how relief efforts have been managed. She’s actually saying that there could be a serious backlash and growing violence against women as the UN pulls out. She’s predicting a human rights disaster.

Obviously, this is anecdotal and hearsay but I think it’s at least plausible.

Haiti, Chile, Mexico, Sumatra (Indonesia), Japan, Metro Manila (capital of Philippines) and the Andaman Islands, Illinois, Cuba. Earthquakes (big ‘n small) in all these places in 3 months. What’s the reason behind this? Please don’t post replies saying all this is a prelude to some mega disaster in 2012.

I heard he was a kind and generous guy who is always willing to help people when tragedy strikes.
The correct answer is ZERO – Limbaugh despises anyone who was born black and has stated that we shouldn’t be helping Haiti at all.

A fine role model for conservatives.

I work for an orphanage in Haiti, which news stations across the country have been covering since the earthquake. Some of them I am able to get ahold of to get copies of the stories, some I am not.

We had two earthquakes already this year killing more than 220,000 people in Haiti and in hundreds now in Chile. As the result it has been predicted Hawai is going to get severe tsumani.

First Haiti, then Guatemala, then Chile, now California:

An earthquake rumbled early Saturday off the northern California coast and dozens of people in Humboldt County reported feeling it, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The 4.6-magnitude temblor hit at 12:46 a.m. and was centered in the Pacific Ocean about 30 miles west of Ferndale.

USGS geophysicist Randy Baldwin said the temblor was lightly felt in area cities such as Eureka and Ferndale but wasn’t strong enough to cause damage.

"Ferndale felt it the most," he said.http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-mew-earthquake-northern-california6-2010mar06,0,5397081.story?track=rss

First it was the earthquake in Haiti. Then it was the earthquake in Chile. 2 major earthquakes within a month of each other. Now there’s been some tremors in california, one even going as high as 4.3 on the richter scale. And im wondering… Are these earthquakes leading up to something big? Such as The Big One?

U.S. U-17 women beat Haiti 9-0, then offer hugs
By Brooks Peck

Edit:

Haitian goalkeeper Alexandra Coby was so overwhelmed with emotion that she dropped to the pitch, weeping. It was all just too much for her and understandably so — losing by such a harsh margin, even to a much better team, is always difficult to take, but given that Haiti is in the midst of trying to recover from the devastating earthquake that ravaged the Caribbean nation’s capital two months ago and left hundreds of thousands of people dead, there was much more saddling these girls than just a lost game.

And the U.S. team saw that. As Haiti’s coach helped the crying goalkeeper to her feet, U.S. goalie Bryane Heaberlin walked the length of the pitch, gave Coby a hug and didn’t let go. The rest of the U.S. team soon joined her, circling around the two goalkeepers for a long group hug that left the entire squad in tears.

Said Heaberlin to USsoccer.com:

“I saw her crying and that was pretty hard for me to see. She’s a ‘keeper and we have that bond. I knew that she had probably lost people close to her, and when she goes home she might not have anywhere to go. I gave her a big hug and told her she did great. She came to compete in this tournament despite all that she’s been through and I have tremendous respect for her.”

so ive been thinking, and ive had an idea. i just wanted it to get to you guys. i don’t believe the world will end in 2012, but ive been seeing HOW it COULD happen.
i would first like to point this out; an earthquake struck haiti, a place already struggling.
one month later: an even bigger earthquake struck. not only is this earthquake bringing tsunamis to other countries, it also so happens that the earths rotation has been changed and our day has become shorter. i don’t know about you guys, but when i heard that there was an earthquake powerful enough to change the earth’s natural course, i felt that this is a power that only a catastrophic event could exceed. think about it: a 2012 disaster would have that kind of effect, and possibly worse. do you guys understand?
what else could end the world?
oh yeah, almost forgot that some very unfriendly people in North Korea are ignoring pleads from other countries and are deciding to go on with their nuclear bomb programs. yeah, i find it very possible that north korea could start a nuclear war or just bomb its enemies.
oh yeah, iran is gaining radioactive elements, right? or some country in the middle east, i cant remember…
what else could destroy the world/human civilization?
i heard about this thing called global warming. just a little thing, really, unless the ice caps melt. if that happens, guess what? its been calculated that cities like New York with their huge sky scrapers would be thousands of feet under water.
if i can remember correctly, earthquakes starting up, the ice caps melting, and a nuclear war would kill us all. and it would fit the mayan prophecy of the end of the world.
i don’t really believe the world will end, but i think that its possible, and with the latest events, that possibility is getting even bigger.

Well lately there have been a bunch of earthquakes.
The 7.2 or whatever it was in haiti
The 6.7 in taiwan
The ones in california lately 6.5 and a 5.9
The 8.8 in chile
So any ways i have been thinkin about earthquakes a lot lately and i have been dreaming about a super huge one in california (thats where i live) and someone told me that we could have a super huge earthquake in california like one of the biggest ones in history
is this true?
what are your thoughts?

Everyone is saying that since everywhere else in the world prone to earthquakes has been heavily shaken in the last months, (Haiti, Chile, Japan, Taiwan, etc), SoCal is definitely next. Are there any experts here that can comment on this?

As you may or may not have heard, a devastating 8.8 earthquake struck Chile earlier this evening, and our USGS Immediately issued warnings in Chile and the surrounding regions about the likelihood of a tsunami.

Much like Haiti, you can be sure that Chile will require an outpouring of international help to rebuild from this catastrophe. My question is, where should that help come from? Should it continue to come from the United States, given how many other resource draining situations we are already involved in? Should we provide intelligence and effort coordination, helping other aid and what not get where it needs to go, or should we do something like send money and food and stay the Hell out of the way?
