\u00a0And Tar Is Literally Bubbling Up Through The Streets Of Los Angeles<\/h2>\n

Scientists are quite \u201cconcerned\u201d about the huge earthquake swarm that has been shaking southern California in recent weeks, and right at this moment bubbling tar is literally coming up through the streets in one section of Los Angeles.\u00a0 None of this means that a major seismic event is imminent, but it is certainly not a good sign either.\u00a0 We have been tracking quite a bit of unusual shaking<\/a><\/strong><\/span> along the Ring of Fire in recent months, and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time<\/strong><\/span><\/a> before \u201cthe Big One\u201d hits southern California.\u00a0 And if you follow my work on a regular basis<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, then you already know that I am extremely concerned about the potential for major seismic activity along the west coast.\u00a0 So when I came across a San Diego Union-Tribune article entitled \u201cSouthern California earthquake swarm takes an unexpected turn, and that\u2019s reason to worry<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a>, it definitely got my attention.\u00a0 According to that article, there have been \u201cmore than 700 earthquakes\u201d in the Fontana seismic zone over the past few weeks\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

There have been more than 700 earthquakes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> recorded in the Fontana area since May 25, ranging from magnitude 0.7 to magnitude 3.2, recorded Wednesday at 5:20 p.m., according to Caltech staff seismologist Jen Andrews.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is certainly a lot of earthquakes, but is this sort of activity unusual?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, according to one scientist, this is the \u201cmost prolific swarm\u201d to hit that area \u201cin the past three decades<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The likelihood of a larger seismic event, given so many quakes over such an extended period, is higher than normal, the scientist said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople ought to be concerned,\u201d said Hauksson. \u201cThis is probably the most prolific swarm in that area of the Fontana seismic zone that we\u2019ve seen in the past three decades.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, I want to stress that all of this activity does not mean that a major earthquake is about to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one day it is coming.\u00a0 In fact, scientists have told us that one day the entire San Andreas fault could \u201ccould unzip all at once<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0 And when that day finally arrives, there might not be any warning at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you live in California, you should be prepared for earthquakes to occur at all times, and that means taking some reasonable precautions<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

In any home in seismically risky areas of California, experts recommend removing heavy objects around beds, strapping bookcases and dressers to walls, anchoring flat-screen televisions to walls, installing toddler safety latches on kitchen cabinets, and ensuring frames are attached to walls with quake-friendly hooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully there will not be a major quake any time soon, but over the past few days another ominous sign has made news.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to one local news report<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, \u201cbubbling tar\u201d is actually coming up through the streets near the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

And on Saturday, more seepage. Enough to draw the interests of tourists and residents alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBS2\u2019s Jake Reiner said tourists and residents alike have been coming to the area marveling at the bubbling tar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, this might be nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one local resident admitted that he had \u201cnever seen this before\u201d, and apparently the smell of methane is very potent<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou see a little bit of tar oozing up between the pavement,\u201d Kogan says, \u201call over the neighborhood. That\u2019s not unusual but this seems to be flow tar. I\u2019ve never seen this before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention the constant hissing sound coming from the ground \u2014 it\u2019s methane.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can smell it. I thought a car broke its oil pan out here,\u201d says Patrick Myer.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but if you can literally hear methane coming out of the ground and bubbling tar is starting to come up through the streets, perhaps that is a sign that it is time to consider moving somewhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n

But of course the truth is that our entire planet is becoming increasingly unstable.\u00a0 On Monday, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck near Cleveland.\u00a0 The following comes from CNN<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A preliminary magnitude-4.0 earthquake was reported Monday about 20 miles northeast of Cleveland, in or around Lake Erie, the US Geological Survey said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The earthquake, measuring 3.1 miles in depth, was reported just before 11 a.m. local time north-northwest of the city of Eastlake.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDid you feel that rumble this morning Cleveland? Well if you missed it, we caught this morning\u2019s earthquake on multiple #OHGO cameras. Check it out! #Clevelandreallyrocks,\u201d the Ohio Department of Transportation tweeted<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, along with a collection of traffic videos showing the moment the quake hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course Cleveland is not very far from the New Madrid fault zone that I have been writing articles about again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side of the world, a huge volcano in Indonesia also erupted on Monday<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A huge column of ash was blasted almost five miles into the sky\u00a0above the Indonesian island of\u00a0Sumatra<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>after an active volcano erupted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mount Sinabung<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0blew\u00a0for nine minutes on Sunday, causing panic among the island\u2019s residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indonesian<\/strong><\/span><\/a> officials warned that\u00a0further volcanic activity was possible,\u00a0although the volanco\u2019s\u00a0alert level remained unchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major seismic events are happening so frequently now that it is really hard to keep up with them all.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it is very important not to become numb to what is happening.\u00a0 Something strange really is happening to our planet, and many believe that it is going to get a lot worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for California, scientists keep telling us that \u201cthe Big One\u201d is way overdue, and when it finally arrives it could be a history altering event.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to one team of scientists, an extremely large earthquake could potentially \u201cplunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0 Such an event would be far worse than anything that any Hollywood earthquake movie ever envisioned, and let us pray that nothing like that happens any time soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
