Strong Earthquakes Hit San Francisco and Mount St. Helens – Experts Think They Are Foreshocks for ‘Something Larger’

San Francisco Earthquake

No matter where a person lives in the United States there's a risk of catastrophes taking place. In the midwest it's tornadoes, near the Atlantic ocean its hurricanes, and lately, in the state California, it's fires and mudslides.

Even though it's true that disasters can happen anytime or anywhere, it's still important to be aware of what could happen in your state. As preppers, that's why we carefully plan for survival scenarios — because we never know when one could hit. Sure, there are precursors for potential events to come, but we never know the exact time or place something could go down. Minus the wildfire that you can see in the distance that is coming toward your home — better get out fast!

Lately, earthquakes have been hitting San Francisco and Mount St. Helens. Yes, earthquakes near Mount St. Helens are fairly common as are quakes hitting California, but it's the frequency and other factors that are causing experts to be concerned that something stronger may be coming.

To learn what signs experts are seeing that a catastrophic earthquake may be taking place in the not so distance future, check out the next page.

    Did your mom feel them in Oakland? I’m really glad you and Curly didn’t drive there.

    Nothing we can do if it happens. Have to ride it out and hope for the best. Hopefully we’ll be outta here by then!

    2018 marks the every 35 years event of the Earths rotation slowing a bit, which causes the equatorial bulge to diminish. The result is always higher multitudes and great magnitude earthquakes as our crust shifts. Don’t be scared, be prepared.

    If the first 4 posters above are the kind that will be survivors, I would rather croak.

    US Geological Service is shutdown due to govt shutdown. Don’t expect any forewarning.

    I live along the Cascade Mountain Range. We also have the Cascadia fault line. This is one of the reasons why I prep.

    Ignorant post. Southern California experiences multiple less than 4.0 magnitude earthquakes daily due to the strike slip of the Pacific Plate in reference to the North American Plate. Mt. Saint Helens is affected by a separate tectonic plate which is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. Your post just seem intent on scaring people.

    Agreed, it failed to even report what day this post was talking about.

    I believe California is ready for the wrath of God. Interesting how epicenters of sin and depravity are subjected to natural destruction.

    Good! Hope CA breaks off and drifts across the ocean. They can go be a part of Russia who they seem to admire so much.

    Been a rocking on the plates lately worldwide…
    Pushing up?
    Or sliding?
    How you like me now, Earth!
