Have you seen the cataclysmic images that are coming out of Iceland? I wrote about the tremendous shaking that is taking place in Iceland a few days ago, but things have gotten so much worse since then. At this point, a giant “chasm” is literally running through the center of the town of Grindavik. And in Italy, Mount Etna is putting on a spectacular fireworks show for us right now.
Of course most Americans don’t care about any of this because these disasters are happening on the other side of the world. But they should care about these disasters, because the same geophysical forces that are causing them will inevitably cause major seismic events in our nation too.
