Earth Changes Media
This is one of the events Mayan elders had predicted as related to the Mayan Sacred Book of Chilam Balam. Unfortunately it is not the end. Mayan elders still tell us more is to come unless we can change our ways. The area of the Puerto Rico Subduction Zone and the Cascadia Subduction Zone remain at great risk.

SUMATRA - A powerful underwater 7.8 earthquake has struck off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday damaged hundreds of houses, destroyed bridges and started fires in the costal city of Padang, witnesses told local television. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties.
A tsunami warning was put in to effect, then later cancelled. It is not known that a tsunami was generated. This warning is based only on the earthquake evaluation. An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours.
Authorities should take appropriate action in the response to this possibility. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center will monitor sea level data from gauges near the earthquake to determine if a tsunami was generated and estimate the severity of the threat. "Hundreds of houses have been damaged along the road," in Padang have been reported.
"There are some fires, bridges are cut, and there is extreme panic here maybe because water pipes are broken and there is flooding in the streets."
The Indonesian earthquake comes just hours after a series of tsunamis caused death and devastation on the Pacific island nations of American and Western Samoa.
Padang, the capital of Indonesia's West Sumatra province, sits on one of the world's most active fault lines along the "Ring of Fire", where the Indo-Australia plate grinds against the Eurasia plate, creating regular tremors and sometimes earthquakes.
Second 6.9 Earthquake Hits Stricken Sumatra
A second powerful earthquake has hit the Indonesian island of Sumatra, a day after the first devastating quake which has left hundreds and possibly thousands of people buried in rubble and a major city cut off from the outside world.
In 2004, a 9.15 magnitude earthquake, with its epicenter roughly 600km northwest of Padang, caused a tsunami that killed 232,000 people in Indonesia's Aceh province, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, and other countries across the Indian Ocean.
8.3 Earthquake Hits Samoan Islands
It is now reported that both Samoa Islands have been hit by dangerous tsunamis. American Samoa was hit by a 2.5 foot wave, and Western Samoa was hit by a 5.1 foot wave. Remember; it does not take a large wave to create damage and fatalities. It is the "surge" which is most deadly.
