This region of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and their tectonic plates are going through some serious changes, as per nature, or is it?
The atmosphere in the region is also experiencing, intermittent heat waves.
Very interesting; but, when I read about these #earthquakes, their frequency and intensity, I imagine what the People of Jamaica/Port Royal must have experienced, in 1672 on 7th June, when 2/3 of Port Royal ended up under the Sea.
History, have a way of repeating itself even if, it’s repeated in a different geographical area.
…now, if I was a [bible] toting preacher!
…who’d be preaching, #brimstone & fire!
…tell you, of doom and gloom;
…according, to your Jesus the Messiah!
…because, of the Sins Of St. John’s City
…it would be such a pity!
…if we had, a Port Royal calamity!
…where, 2/3 of St. John’s City
…end up! #Under_The_Sea!
…caused, by an EARTHQUAKE!
…so, people take heed!
…get rid of, the pomp & greed!
…for, soon and very soon!
…at #high_noon! During a #full_moon!
…we all, will end up in need!
…so, are these rumblings and shaking
…which are happening, every morning
…is a #SIGN of, #IMPENDING_DOOM!
…I’m not Luciano De Rasta Messenger!
…but, I have a flavor!
…seasoned, by the Essence of Nature’s Ether!
