Why have there been so many large earthquakes in recent weeks? This is something that people on social media are really buzzing about right now. And I am certainly glad that they are buzzing about it, because what we have been witnessing is not even close to normal. We really are in the early chapters of an extremely apocalyptic chapter in human history, and people need to hear the truth.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
It is being claimed that there were 396 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 during a recent 30 day period, and this claim is being heavily circulated on multiple social media platforms…
Twitter is buzzing, Reddit’s rumbling, and TikTok’s tilting — people are freaking out over the reported 396 earthquakes of Magnitude 5.0 or greater (M5+) recorded worldwide in the past 30 days.
The following is an example of the sort of graphic that is getting a ton of attention right now…
I wanted to independently verify that this figure was accurate.
What I discovered was extremely alarming.
- 1 quake above magnitude 8
- 4 quakes between magnitude 7 and 8
- 33 quakes between magnitude 6 and 7
- 456 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
- 1,809 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
- 5,617 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
- 10,512 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
- 33,959 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don’t feel.
If these numbers are accurate, things are even worse than the claims that are being made on social media.
If you add together the top 4 lines, it gives you a grand total of 494 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 within the past 30 days.
Nearly 500 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 in a 30 day period is extremely unusual.
I asked Google AI about what is going on, and this is what I was told…
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Earth experiences an average of 1,300 to 1,500 magnitude 5+ earthquakes annually. This translates to approximately 110-125 earthquakes of that magnitude per month.
Therefore, while the reported 396 magnitude 5+ earthquakes in the last 30 days is significantly higher than the average, it is important to note that global earthquake activity tends to cluster, meaning there can be periods of higher activity followed by calmer periods, still within the realm of normal geophysical variation.
Hopefully things will start to calm down in the days ahead.
But for now, large earthquakes continue to hit diverse locations all over the globe.
For example, the Dominican Republic was just hammered by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake…
