With the many recent earthquakes in Southeast Asia and a few minor ones in Central California (see story below), what is happening in the world. Are the predictions of Nostradamus and the Mayans coming true? Will the world end December 21, 2012?

LONE PINE, Calif. – A series of earthquakes — the largest a magnitude-5.1 — have rattled the Lone Pine area of the eastern Sierra in Central California.

The largest struck about 18 miles southeast of the town of Lone Pine along the east shore of the Owens River at 3:01 a.m.

It was followed within three hours by about a half-dozen smaller quakes between magnitude-3.0 and magnitude-3.5 in the same rural area near Sequoia National Park, about 180 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

Inyo County sheriff's dispatcher Faith Felton says she felt a slight tremor during the strongest quake. No damages or injuries have been reported.

U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Randy Baldwin says a couple of quakes with magnitudes of about 5.4 have occurred in the area in recent years.

in the USA, after California, Missouri is at most risk for a quake.

Missouri? That is surprising.

They had a big one there back in 1812. There was not much loss of life because it was mostly wilderness but it made the Mississippi river run backwards. More information at http://earthquake.us...uri/history.php
