A life-threatening outbreak of tornadoes is set to occur, life-threatening may be an understatement according to some experts. The weather patterns seem to be converging in all the wrong ways, and the tornado outbreak that comes today may be immense

All that shaking.. rattling.. and rolling
Ohio saw several mini earthquakes that some have tied to natural gas drilling. Other areas in the United States has also seen shaking where blasting has taken place. Some even attribute last year’s big Mid-Atlantic quake that was felt all the way to Canada on some type of explosives in the ground or drilling.And now this: US government scientists are now stating that “almost certainly” the recent uptick in United States earthquakes can be blamed on one source: Fracking. Just another albatross tied around the neck of the controversial method of extracting natural gas from the ground.USGS researchers report that midsection seismic activity averaged about 20 a year until the year 2000. In 2011, there were 134 instances of shaking..The quakes are “fairly small,” as they report. But they are numerous. And when they strike the area not used to seeing them, they are quite alarming. Last year’s East Coast rattle unnerved millions of people, caused the National Monument to crack, and forced evacuations of almost all government buildings, both state and federal, across the affected region of the United States. It was a big deal–without life or much limb being hurt.. but a big deal nonetheless.And now all of this because of fracking? Does it make you wonder what other dangers lurk in our near future? if fracking can do this.. what are we doing to the actual inside of the earth..?Could this be why Kiev has groaned? Why Clintonville WI moaned? Why the earth’s trumpets are blazing with hornlike sounds all over the planet? I don’t know. No one does. But the USGS experts are at least a little closer to telling us why so many earthquakes seem to be taking place all over the world.. -
Another image of the mighty hail storm in Texas
Earth informer and various other sources reported about this weird weather event yesterday and .. This event will not be forgotten any time soon.. Four feet of hail fell in parts of Texas

It seems amazing to think this happened. Weird weather is becoming all too normal. -
Russia’s asteroid problem
Ever notice how concerned Russia has been about finding asteroids and tracking them? This interesting article hints at why: The near misses that Russia has seen.
But WorldCrunch’s story also points out it won’t get better unless Russia is able to build better telescopes.

This could be a very big deal for the Midwest
Today and this weekend, the potential exists for violent thunderstorms and equally violent tornadoes.. Mike Smith’s weather blog *which you should follow* has more on the potential for storms in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas.. Oklahoma City, Topeka, and Wichita seem to be in the focal point of the real bad stuff..Frighteningly this appears to be primarily a night time event–more concerning being that people could be sleeping when tornado sirens start to ring…Texas just saw waist deep hail. And after this year’s tornado activity that already swept away towns across the nation this year, this situation tonight and tomorrow should be taken very seriously. Prepare now and don’t be caught off guard.When a tornado is near: Don’t be near windows, try getting to the lowest portion of your home that is protected by concrete walls, a basement is potentially the safest place during a big storm.Let’s hope this passes without much fanfare. But the elements sadly look positive to create a ripe environment for deadly weather.. -
Is this the quickening?
This Earth seems to be going through an incredible planetary belch over the past several hours..We have 8+ earthquakes hitting in Indonesia.We saw a tremendous amount of movement after this earthshaking took place.. a quake in Oregon, Mexico, California.. even in the East about 200 miles or so off the coast of Maryland. Skeptics who argue that quakes are not connected may have even been shocked by just how many earthquakes took place after the big rumble seemed to begin the tidal wave of shaking…Coming later this week: Tornadoes may yet hit parts of the Midwest.Mainstream media didn’t pay much attention to really of of this, too. Did you notice that?All the while it appears that we are seeing an uptick in earth changes, disasters.. and a quickening. A true quickening. Everything seemingly is out of whack. The earth is moving … plates are shifting.. The crust is unstable.Not trying to cause fear.. not trying to cause anxiety. Though after the day we have seen with so many rumbles and severe weather in just one day across the planet, how can one not have some type of anxiety. Be ready.. have a plan. Pray for the best. Hope for the worst. And take a St. John’s Wort. Things may get bumpier as we go forward. I just hope there is a God who truly does have this planet in his protective net…. -
