I heard this one has 6.0 + aftershocks. This is insane.

There have been three quakes above 6.0 (6.0 - 6.7 - 6.9) in just under a half hour. So much for the area quieting down.

I will post a full update on the chilean quake thread (http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?128474-8.8-Magnitude-Quake-Hits-Chile-*Merged*/page11) when I have it.

MAP 6.0 2010/03/11 15:06:04 -34.218 -71.889 32.0 LIBERTADOR O'HIGGINS, CHILE
MAP 6.7 2010/03/11 14:55:30 -34.263 -71.782 35.0 LIBERTADOR O'HIGGINS, CHILE
MAP 6.9 2010/03/11 14:39:48 -34.251 -71.889 35.0 LIBERTADOR O'HIGGINS, CHILE

This is from another monitoring site. It looks like the first new quake was actually a 7.2.

wow!!!! :shocked

Magnitude 7.2 an "aftershock"? :twitch I guess there is a timeline from an "earthquake" to another "earthquake" in the same region. Meaning, anything in between is considered an "aftershock" regardless of the magnitude...hmmm.

This is NOT an after-shock.Aftershock's normally DECREASE in intensity,not INCREASE.Remenber our Lords analogy of birth pangs relating to the signs that point toward His return??Look at what's happening to not only Chile but earthquakes around the world.Most have aftershocks EXCEEDING the original magnatude and I believe,IMHO,that this will continue to happen.

We all better get "RAPTURE READY" cause were all soon going to be out of here..:yeah:yeah:yeah

I'm just as excited as anyone that we are able to see the Lords prophetic word coming true, right before our eyes. And I'm also excited that it appears that the rapture should be taking place fairly shortly. At the same time, I am so sorry that people are suffering and the suffering is going to be ramped up.

It also hurtled the entire city of Concepcion 10 feet to the west.


I have seen better articles but I am pinched for time. Other cities were moved by several feet as well.

God speaks clearly and He's awesome! Just look at the extreme amounts of snow in so many places. Even here in Florida we had unusual cold weather that destroyed many crops. Weird weather has been global. I'm sure there is much more to come and at a faster rate. The birth pangs are increasing. We certainly will be going home, soon.

I expect there will be a lot of floods when all the snow melts in the places that had extreme amounts.

I pray for all the people that are suffering from such awful problems. :pray
