MERIDIAN, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

Meridian emergency responders are on the scene of a large sinkhole that has opened up in the parking lot of the new IHOP restaurant on Frontage Road in Meridian.

Witnesses at the scene reported hearing a series of booms before the power went out and sinkhole opened up.

We're told the hole is roughly 50 feet wide and extends from the front of the restaurant all the way to Sowashee Creek, nearly 600 feet.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Polar Shift already under way per NASA

Climate researchers believe we are heading towards a reversal of the planet’s magnetic field, an event that has happened before and has been attributed to wiping out the Neanderthal species.

Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator at the University of Colorado, Boulder, said when the switch does take place, the Earth’s magnetic field which prevents the Sun’s dangerous radiation getting through, would be neutralised for around 200 years.

See more at the above link. Other sources confirm this.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Interesting how evil is wikipedia to change all that to suit the big agenda.
I certainly hope that this solar minimum does NOT occur this time in the 100 year cycle !!

We have had a couple of frost warnings, which are rare at this time of year in Los Angeles.
Most people have noticed how frightfully cold it has been at night.

Don't worry, things wont get that cold. The global geoengineering programme is already eliminating that problem. Remember the bible tells us that in the end times men will curse God because of the insufferable heat, not the great cold. Most likely the geoengineering will go wrong and they will find that it leads to an unexpected and uncontrollable runaway increase in the conservation of heat that their geoengineering experts who want to play God cannot remedy. Then the prophecy will come true. See this very recent interview to get a compact summary of what is REALLY happening and why to our weather changes:

Phew, what a relief ! I have been quite worried ever since Maria started this thread.

I instinctively have felt that heat will be the real problem ; that does accord with the Biblical words, glad you pointed that out.

Tectonic Summary

The January 30, 2016 M 7.2 earthquake beneath the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia occurred as the result of oblique-normal faulting at a depth of 180 km. At the location of this earthquake, the Pacific plate is moving towards the west-northwest with respect to the North America and Eurasia plates at a rate of approximately 77 mm/yr. Note that some authors divide this region into several microplates that together define the relative motions between the larger Pacific, North America and Eurasia plates; these include the Okhotsk and Amur microplates that are respectively part of North America and Eurasia. The depth and faulting mechanism of the January 30th earthquake indicate that it ruptured a fault within the subducting Pacific lithosphere.

Earthquakes like this event, with focal depths between 70 and 300 km, are commonly termed "intermediate-depth" earthquakes. Intermediate-depth earthquakes represent deformation within subducted slabs rather than at the shallow plate interface between subducting and overriding tectonic plates. They typically cause less damage on the ground surface above their foci than is the case with similar magnitude shallow-focus earthquakes, but large intermediate-depth earthquakes may be felt at great distance from their epicenters. "Deep-focus" earthquakes, those with focal depths greater than 300 km, also occur in the subducted Pacific plate beneath Kamchatka, and this slab hosted the largest ever-recorded deep earthquake, a M 8.3 event in May 2013. The deepest reliably located earthquake in this region occurred at a depth of almost 650 km.

The Kuril-Kamchatka arc has frequent moderate-to-large earthquakes, and has hosted over thirty M 6.5+ events within 250 km of the January 30th earthquake over the past century. Most of these occurred on the shallow megathrust plate boundary; just three were at intermediate depths. The largest of these three was a M 7.3 earthquake in November 1971, 140 km south-southeast of the January 30, 2016 event, at a depth of 125 km. The shallow plate boundary in this region hosted a M 9.0 earthquake in November 1952, resulting in a large tsunami that caused damage and fatalities along the coastlines of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands, and which also caused significant damage in Hawai’i.

Movements of approximately 77 millimeters per year (3 inches per year) are slow increments, but when the plates lock up and are not allowed to move, tremendous pressure can build up, so this can result in major earthquakes.

All this pressure is building up, and will affect the plate movement in Alaska, the Western Coast of Canada, and the USA.

Again, we are reminded of Christ's words that prior to His Second Coming, there were be huge diverse earthquakes that the world has never known.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
