Aftershocks Shake Northern California

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Northern California has been shaken by a series of aftershocks including a 3.9 magnitude quake that struck early Tuesday.

The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded over 125 aftershocks of various degrees since the main 6.0 earthquake.  In addition to the 3.9 quake, a series of quakes near 3.0 were recorded near American Canyon around 6 a.m. local time.

At least 100 homes or businesses have been declared unsafe for human occupation as a result of the quake.  The latest estimate on damage says it would take over $1 billion to return all property to normal.

Officials throughout the region are warning residents to be careful around damaged buildings that are not condemned because aftershocks could break off debris.

Seismologists say the smaller quakes are a good thing because as time goes on it lessens the possibility of a larger quake.

  1. Did you know that the Napa earthquake hit within a few days after an Israeli ship was not allowed to unload in Oakland. It then came to Seattle and was almost stopped here. The protesters caused problems and some were arrested but Glory to God and many prayers it finally got unloaded.
