When -- not if -- a Japan-scale quake hits Oregon

Prophecy Sign:  Earthquakes in diverse places as we approach the time of the end.

If you have read the book of Revelation, you will have come across a very scary prophecy that would seem to indicate a great cataclysmic event that would devastate much of the earth.  This event would seem to indicate a major volcanic explosion,  (along with earthquakes), causing much of the skies to go dark.  With a major fault line off the coast of North America, (Cascadia), and a major Super Volcano in the Pacific North West of the America's, (Yellowstone), the threat of such an event described in Revelation is certainly not out of the realm of possibilities in our neck of the woods.

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.  Revelation 6:12-14 NIV

From the article:

Oregon experts studying Japan's recent earthquake damage expect that when -- not if -- a similar quake hits the Northwest, civilization as we know it will pretty much end for weeks or months.

The experts predict lengthy blackouts, food shortages and fuel outages. They expect tanks and pipes to rupture, leaking petroleum into the Columbia and Willamette rivers. They expect firefighters battling numerous blazes to be slowed by collapsed fire stations, broken water pipes and severed communications.
