As my friend Ray Gano (he lives near SA) said :

Matthew 24:7 (KJV) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Mark 13:8 (KJV) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

Luke 21:11 (KJV) And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

San Antonio Texas, its pretty divers to me when it comes to earthquakes.

Amazing as I had not heard about this on the local news. I know there is a fault line in the area as you can walk under it in Natural Bridge Caverns in San Marcos, which is about 50-60 miles from San Antonio. We toured the Caverns a number of years ago and it was sorta freaky looking up and seeing where one plate was over-riding another one. I have a friend who lives near Abilene and they had a minor earthquake out in that general region in February. Yep, S.A. is about as divers as you can get:lol2
