Neither here nor there.
There is an extinct volcano, I just love it when they declare volcanoes extinct, in eastern New Mexico, just east of where this massive quake swarm is happening. Now, the twenty billion dollar question is, has there been an increase, or decrease, in land mass in that area, and an increase in gas emissions from the ground, hot springs, etc.

My point was more: 5 years ago, Texas had 11 M1.5 or bigger events in the first two months of that year. Now, they have had 1,050 and we have a week to go before we finish out that second month.
It is a significant uptick in the frequency of events.
I'm checking other states now.

Obviously I have never nor anyone else seen anything like this. You must remember that time was put in place for man not GOD. An eternal being has no need for time. That said the Bible is a timed event. It has a beginning and an end. We are told to watch the heavens for events and associated earthquakes. The best I can come up with is the mass in kilograms of the planets in line with us multiplied by the travel in meters per second squared will give you an idea of the forces we will be dealing with. That is a physical law not a Biblical prophesy. For prophesy you need to go read for yourself.

I have visited the volcano and the surrounding volcano fields. Yes there are many in that area but it is West of Texas. Just across the line. Very close to Clayton NM.
Just to make things interesting we had a 1.5M last week about 25 miles from me in an area I have never heard of having any shaking. We are North of the Volcano fields.

Divided by the square of the distance, if I recall. Big objects waaaaaaaaaaaay far apart. There's probably more gravitation effect from a supertanker full of oil than from a planet at the extreme end of your chain on the far side of the sun.

Like I said haven't done this in a long time but it is speed in meters squared. Newtons first law from what I remember. Don't know what that means since we have a large area in our solar system but it is all held together by a balance of gravity. We also have an asteroid belt that is far more susceptible to gravitational changes. Even the giant Jupiter is held in orbit around the sun by perfect balance of gravity.

Watch the night time sky's for a dot of red way off in the distance. Like a red winged disk. That's what's coming, imo.

Loup if I was looking for some kind of first signs of a pressure point, I would take a look at WWN of Albuquerque NM with a terrain map. I've wondered if what looks like a slab of Granet shoving out of the ground is a base plate that is broken.

How long have TPTB known about this alignment? This is the first I have heard of it but those in the space business must have known for several years. Which brings up the point of why keep it quite while Billionaires dig holes to hide in? Will rocks fall and the oceans roar? The moon coming closer to earth is enough to make the oceans roar in certain places.

Is that the comet? They are saying it will be easily visible during the eclipse.

Several hundred years, if they wanted to run the numbers. Nobody cares that much. Rocks won't fall, oceans won't roar. I'm hoping your post was humor.

Since most Americans don't read Greek or Hebrew, I am hard-pressed to think God would send them a message in those languages. I am quite a bit more concerned by the giant X (we all know what that means, right?) created by 2017 and 2024, crossing the country from West to East. From South to North. Not that I think anything noticeable will necessarily occur on they day in April. It's just that we've been put on "notice." Warnings always come BEFORE big happenings.

Any number of other Xs have been painted by other eclipses, and we're still here. Every pair of eclipses draws an X. The shadow goes up in one, and in the next the shadow goes down. The moon's orbit moves above the sun for half of the year and then moves below it for half of the year, because the moon's orbit lines up with the earth's equator. It's not magic.

Regarding astronomy and physics, planetary alignment will have only a very, very small tidal effect upon all the bodies in our solar plane. The distances are so vast (between the planets and sun) that the tidal effect upon the Earth due to planetary alignment is only a tiny fraction of the Moon's tidal effect upon Earth. And the only reason the Moon has such an effect is because it's so very, very close to the Earth. Compared to the Moon's effect upon Earth, planetary alignments in our solar system have no appreciable gravitational effect upon our planet - even with their combined gravitational pull.
As gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between two objects, that force will reduce to one fourth the initial force when distance between them is doubled.
If something extraordinary happens during the planetary alignment, the primary cause will not be due to planetary alignment.
...although I know it's cool to speculate on such things, and gives us all fresh doom to look forward to...

We have eclipses mapped out for a long time.
Eclipses also follow a pattern called a Saros Cycle. One Saros is 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours. The 8 hours is important as one Saros hits one-third of the earth, the next hits the next one-third, and then the last the final one-third.
After three Saros, we end up at 54 years and 34 days. On that day the cycle starts again. It will be the same ecliptic visible in nearly the same location.

I'm confused which is about normal for me these days. Where will the eclipse make the cross? Somewhere in Texas or New Madrid? I've heard both mentioned.
The map above shows that it's in Texas. I've seen other maps where the cross will be New Madrid.

Then there was the x over the New Madrid Fault zone resulting from the total solar eclipse in 1806 and the annular eclipse on Constitution Day 1811...90 days later the first of a series of HUGE earthquakes hit the New Madrid. Now we've got two eclipses again making an x over that area....
I see these two Great American total solar eclipse as warnings, harbingers of doom for America.
...and the odds of two solar eclipse over the same continent in this short of a time period, I've heard, are very very high.
Added to the planet alignment during this time period...how can these not be "signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars"? We've been warned.....like Nineveh.

Couldn’t help but notice on that eclipse map that Dystonic posted above that there is also a definitive eclipse X over the Red Sea in the Middle East. That one will also be 7 years apart, 2027 and 2034. Interesting…

On April 8th, The Great American Eclipse Of 2024 Will Cross Over 7 U.S. Locations Named “Ninevah”
I am going to share something truly amazing with you in this article, and once again a lot of naysayers out there will dismiss it as a “coincidence” that really doesn’t mean anything. But how is it possible that such a vast number of “coincidences” just happen to take place in April 2024? Last Friday, I told my core supporters about an amazing discovery regarding how the sun, the moon, and the seven other planets in our solar system will be aligned during the Great American Eclipse on April 8th. In this article, I am going to focus on seven specific locations that are named “Ninevah” which just happen to fall within the path of the Great American Eclipse on April 8th.
Let me start by going back almost 7 years.
On August 21st, 2017 the first Great American Eclipse made headlines all over the nation.
It was also known as “the Seven Salem Eclipse” because the path of that eclipse crossed over seven U.S. locations named “Salem”…
-Salem, Oregon
-Salem, Idaho
-Salem, Wyoming
-Salem, Nebraska
-Salem, Missouri
-Salem, Kentucky
-Salem, South Carolina
Salem is short for “Jerusalem”, and that is why so many early Americans chose that name for their communities.
Now the second Great American Eclipse is almost here, and the path of that eclipse will cross over seven U.S. locations named “Ninevah”…
-Nineveh, Texas
-Nineveh, Missouri
-Nineveh, Indiana
-Nineveh, Ohio
-Nineveh, Pennsylvania
-Nineveh, Virginia
-Nineveh, New York
The eclipse will also cross over a location named “Ninevah” in the province of Nova Scotia in Canada.
So that is why you sometimes see lists of “8 Ninevahs” on social media.
In some of these locations residents will be able to view a total solar eclipse, and in others only a partial solar eclipse will be able to be viewed.
So what do we know about Ninevah?
Well, Genesis chapter 10 tells us that Ninevah was built by Nimrod, and I think that is very noteworthy.
In addition, Wikipedia tells us that the path of the Bur-Sagale eclipse crossed over Ninevah on June 15th, 763 BC…
Some believe that the Bur-Sagale eclipse happened at the same time that Jonah was in Ninevah warning the population that the city would be destroyed…
I can understand how the appearance of such an eclipse could have been seen as strong confirmation of Jonah’s message to the people of Ninevah.
Now a historic solar eclipse of our own is here.
But instead of crossing over just one “Ninevah”, our solar eclipse will be crossing over seven “Ninevahs”.
It is being reported that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will be the most viewed astronomical event in all of U.S. history.
Interestingly, out of more than 19,000 cities, towns and villages in the United States, the very first community in the U.S. that the path of the eclipse will touch will be Eagle Pass, Texas.
Of course Eagle Pass, Texas has become “ground zero” of the national immigration crisis…
Just another “coincidence”, eh?
There is one more thing about the month of April that I wanted to mention.
In late April, billions of 13-year cicadas and billions of 17-year cicadas will start emerging from the ground simultaneously for the first time since Thomas Jefferson was president…
A narrow overlap in central Illinois?
That is odd, because the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 just happen to intersect in Illinois.
A giant “X” over America is being formed by the paths of those two eclipses, and that giant “X” will finally be completed on April 8th.
There is so much more about these two eclipses in my most recent book entitled “Chaos”. But as I stated there, I am not anticipating that any particular event will happen on April 8th.
Rather, I believe that what we will witness on April 8th is a sign and a warning for the entire nation.
Just like the city of Ninevah in the ancient world, we are being given an opportunity to change direction.
Will we take advantage of that opportunity, or will we ignore it?

I just saw this, to add to all the coincidences the 'Devils Comet' may be visible to the naked eye when the moon fully covers the sun during the eclipse....

The explosive "devil comet" could rear its green-tinged, hornless head during the total solar eclipse on April 8. The city-size comet, which is currently racing toward Earth, may show up in photos of the rare astronomical event. And if it erupts before totality — the phase of the eclipse when the sun is completely blocked — the comet could also be visible to the naked eye, one expert claims.
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P), also known as the devil comet, is a 10.5-mile-wide (17 kilometers) comet that circles the sun on a highly elliptical orbit once roughly every 71 years. 12P is a cryovolcanic, or ice volcano, comet. That means it occasionally erupts when radiation from the sun cracks open its icy shell, or nucleus, allowing it to shoot a combination of ice and gas, known as cryomagma, from its frosty innards into space. When this happens, the cryomagma expands the comet's coma — the cloud of gas and dust around a comet's nucleus — making it appear much brighter for the next few days.
Last July, astronomers watched 12P blow its top for the first time in 69 years, and ever since, it has erupted reasonably frequently. During 12P's early eruptions, the comet's expanded coma grew lopsided. That made it look like it had horns, leading to its demonic nickname. However, during more-recent eruptions, these horns have been absent. Recent photos of the comet also show that it gives off green light, which is caused by high levels of dicarbon in its coma and tail.
12P is expected to make its closest approach to the sun on April 24 before slingshotting around our home star and making its closest approach to Earth on June 2. This means that during the upcoming eclipse, which will be visible across large parts of North America, 12P will be a lot brighter than it is now and will be positioned very close to the sun. As a result, the comet could be visible to photographers with powerful lenses when the moon temporarily blocks out the sun's light, according to Spaceweather.com.
For astrophotographers, capturing such a rare image would be a "dream come true," Petr Horálek, an astrophotographer based in the Czech Republic, told Live Science in an email. "Such an opportunity is truly very rare!"
Arizona-based astrophotographer Eliot Herman, who has been regularly photographing 12P over the past year, is also confident that the comet will be visible via camera and is planning to stack multiple images of the event together to enhance the comet's light.
12P will be positioned near Jupiter, which should be visible to the naked eye and will be located slightly above and to the left of the sun as viewed from the ground, Herman told Live Science. This will provide a great "spatial marker" for photographers to locate the green comet, he added.
If the comet explodes in the days leading up to the eclipse, there is a good chance that it, too, will be visible to the naked eye, Herman said. However, these outbursts are "notoriously difficult to predict," he added.
Horálek, who has been tracking the comet for a while as well, also believes 12P could be visible with the naked eye — but only if a large eruption occurs shortly before.
(Reminder: You should always use protective eyewear, such as official eclipse glasses, when viewing the partial phase of an eclipse. Only during totality, when the sun is completely blocked by the moon, is it safe to look at the sun with the naked eye. Failure to do so could result in permanent eye damage.)
Other astrophotographers are less certain about the comet's visibility during the eclipse. Michael Jäger, an Austria-based photographer who has also been keeping an eye on 12P, told Live Science that he is "very skeptical that the comet will be visible to the naked eye," even with a large outburst.
Past solar eclipses have allowed photographers to take equally rare and unique photos. Last year, during the hybrid solar eclipse visible above Australia on April 20, Horálek and others captured a stunning image of a large solar storm exploding from the sun during totality.
During the April 8 eclipse, the sun will also be at solar maximum, the most active phase of the sun's 11-year solar cycle. As a result, its corona — the outer atmosphere, which looks like a sea of ghostly white tendrils during an eclipse — will be especially visible, making this year's eclipse a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Exploding, green 'devil comet' could photobomb April 8 total solar eclipse — and it might be visible with the naked eye
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the "devil comet," will be positioned close to the sun during the April 8 total solar eclipse. Some photographers also predict that the volcanic comet may be visible to the naked eye, especially if it blows its top before the big event.

Today I would like to remind everyone that Jesus was born under signs in the heavens. It was the conjunction of planets and a star that brought the light and fulfilled the prophecy. On the day of his crucifixion when he breathed his last the sun had been darkened by a solar eclipse. Who could bring all the planets and our moon in line? I am excited to see what this sign in the heavens will bring. We have prepared spiritually as well as physically. GOD BLESS to all this Resurrection day of celebration for he has great plans for those who believe in him.
Cicadas do NOT eat crops, or your roses, or any other kind of vegetation for that matter. They come out, molt(?) out of their shell in to a form with wings, breed, lay eggs, etc. and the little nymph things go back under ground and suck on the sap of trees. I know in parts of the midwest, some people call these "locusts", but they are not the same locusts that are more like grasshoppers here in the U.S. These locusts can devastate crops.

They do drill holes in tree limbs and as the eggs mature they cause the limb to die. Usually a portion of the limb smaller than your index finger. It can damage fruit trees since most of the fruit are created on the young portions of the limbs. It’s kind of a pruning function. In heavy cicada years you will drive along and see thousands of dead limbs and leaves hanging in the trees

Neither here nor there.
That has already happened back when, IIRC Sitting Bull, was born or maybe it was Geronimo. We're waiting for the blue/green one to happen which is predicted to occur sometime before 2030.
