A 7.0 earthquake struck northern Luzon Island in the Philippines just a few hours ago and initial reports of damage and injuries are just coming in. There are some in the scientific community who felt we were long overdue as there has been a lull in larger earthquakes across the earth. The latest science is detecting correlations between electromagnetic events in the earth's atmosphere with earthquakes and understanding this may one day help predict earthquakes. The Philippines sits on the "ring of fire" where many fault lines and volcanoes exist with many presently active. Earthquakes are much more common around the world than most people are aware of. QuakeWatch.net, SuspiciousObervers.org, Lastquake, and Volcanoes and Earthquakes are resources. Philvolcs and the USGS site also offer information as will as tsunami information.
