The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently released data showing that nearly 75% of America is vulnerable to potentially damaging earthquakes, MSN reports.

USGS’ analysis is based on historical records and as well seismic reports.

Not surprisingly, California, with its San Andreas Fault system, is included in the list of the most vulnerable states.

However, there were some new additions to the report that was last released in 2018.

This included its focus on the eastern side of America which cited New York, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Boston as being vulnerable to earthquakes.

In addition, the report also suggested that Hawaii and Alaska are susceptible.

Over the last 200 years, 37 states have reported several 5-magnitude or greater earthquakes.

The USGS study concluded that predicting earthquake events is extremely difficult, and its analysis should be looked upon as more of a forecast of potential earthquake activity.

However, the Bible’s prophets were not so reluctant when it came to predicting earthquakes.

Numerous Biblical prophecies reveal that earthquakes will play a major role in the Apocalyptic events associated with the second coming of Christ (Luke 21:11, Rev 6:12, Rev 11:19, Rev 16:18).

It appears that America may be part of this.
