Shaky Ground: Will the 'Big One' Hit the Heartland?

A pair of interesting videos, (short in length), that ask the question; are we seeing more earthquakes as Jesus warned we would?  And a secondary question; is the American hearland due for the big one?

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.  Mark 13:8 NIV

From the article:

In the Bible, Jesus talks about "earthquakes in various places" as signs of the end times.

As several powerful quakes rocked various places around the world last year and so far this year, many are finding those words even more compelling. Even the heartland of America has seen an increase in the number of quakes. The year 2010 began with a deadly earthquake in Haiti. But before the year ended, more than 20 earthquakes struck worldwide, reaching a magnitude of 7.0 or higher -- the largest number of major earthquakes in 40 years. That trend is continuing, most recently in New Zealand.
