    Magnitude-7.0 quake shakes Vanuatu

    NEW YORK (AP) — A magnitude-7.0 earthquake shook the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on Sunday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

    There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. No tsunami alert was issued.

    The 9:55 a.m. Sunday (2256 GMT Saturday) quake was deep, some 132 kilometers (82 miles) below the surface, the USGS said.

    The USGS said the quake hit some 348 kilometers (216 miles) southeast of Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, and some 1,860 kilometers (1,155 miles) northeast of Brisbane, Australia.

      Pacific Ring-of-Fire, there is volcanic and earthquake activity there all the time, all the time. We have 700 earthquakes, on average, every single day on this planet. But they're getting reported so reporters are looking for more to report and they're making it seems like "news". It isn't "news", it's "olds"....I hope no one is hurt, I hope infrastructure isn't damaged in this economic recession, but that it happens is not out of the ordinary. I really get the feeling they're digging for news stories and with all the things they could report, it's like they look for things that 1) will scare people, hence getting clicks on their articles 2) are things they can try to make look like "events" when they're commonplace, but they don't report *that* fact.

      I'm tired, very tired, of sensationalistic or incomplete reporting (trumping up danger or not fully reporting that yes, there was some event but HEY, it is actually very common, here is the research we did into the event....but they don't go *that* far).

      You are so right Mark....longing to see the face of Jesus and thank him for saving me. Longing for the end of the world trying to destroy and making fun of our faith.
      Jesus is coming back for his followers. I am not perfect...I sin....the difference is I am convicted and reminded to try to do the right thing. Thank God for Jesus Christ.
      I mourn for those of you who do not know HIM.

        But not all is good things,God is allowing these things to happen to wake unbelievers up. To except what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. He bore our sins in himself. He shed His blood for us.Praise God for that life saving blood.Confess that your a sinner, to God and ask him into your heart, and except that Jesus died for your sins.

      Vanuatu is an absolutely beautiful country, with lovely people. They have quite a few social problems, but who the heck doesn't? I enjoyed the cultures, the diversification of the peoples, and the generosity of the inhabitants. Take the log out of your own eye before you condemn others for the splinter in theirs. I've been there. Have you?

      The Pacific has been home to most of the major quakes in our generation and century. This is nothing for them. They don't run around in widespread panic and chaos because they've never experienced ANYTHING in their lives. Which is sad to say in the event of an ACTUAL world wide disaster, i know the U.S. will suffer a major about of catastrophe. Mainly because they wil be too busy of their iCells texting and whatever useless things they do to realzie there is a giant tidal wave about to wipe them all out. "Oh i better get this on my phone and tweet about it". Good one. Some people need to bite it. They are wasting my air.

      Our times are proving the Bible's accuracy.
      Matt. 24- end times marked by earthquakes in diverse places.
      Israel became a nation in 1948 after 2000 or so years of nonexistence, and the Muslims cannot and will not destroy her.
      Last chapter of Daniel, end times marked by knowledge explosion and increased travel.
      Global economy awaits the antichrist.

        Wow.... the Bible speaks of all these things are going to happen in these perilous times that we are living in today. The earthquakes are happening in unfamiliar places and more is happening than ever before. People don't want to believe...... GOD is trying to warn everyone before it's too late................

        Again, these are just the beginnings of sorrows. The end is not yet.

      We are all shook up.
    • forestamante  •  8 mths ago
      Media is reporting every little earthquake simply to keep the fear flowing, as this is their main agenda...Try to remember that earthquakes have been happening continually since the beginnings of this planet. Quakes occur every single day, all over the planet. We live on the cooled surface of a bunch of rocks, spinning through space...nothing too difficult to understand...it's just turbulence. Sometimes this has drastic effects on Humans. That's about it, folks.

      It's a nice place to visit. Is Anderson D**kwad Cooper en route to report on the disaster? Dozens of trees injured, like in NYC.
