This could be inspiration for a short story or poem. Or maybe just time to have a cup of herbal tea and take some deep breaths.
Today's news for January 22, 2018:
1) A 7.9 earthquake happened in the Gulf of Alaska, triggering a tsunami warning that thankfully was later withdrawn.
2) A volcanic eruption at Mount Kusatsu-Shirane in Japan was subsequently followed by an avalanche that trapped 78 skiers, injured many and killed one.
3) A volcanic eruption occurred in Mount Mayon in the Phillippines, forcing 50,000 villagers to evacuate.
Just a few days before, on January 18, 2018:
4) A long-dormant volcano on Kadovar Island erupted, and about 1,500 people were evacuated in islands of Papua, New Guinea.
If you look at a map, you can see that all of these events happened in the so-called "Ring of Fire" which is where volcanic activity is most often recorded. Technically, the earthquake in the Gulf of Alaska could be slightly north of the edge, but I'm not sure.
The simultaneity of these events suggests to me that something larger is going on deeper underground. I'm no scientist, so I'm not sure how this works, but it looks like Gaia is restless. Is anybody else connecting these events? Or am I crazy?
