What is going on, if anything?
Are they signs of the times—or more concerning, forerunners?
We speak in this case of what is beneath our feet as well as in the skies above.
In recent weeks, there has been rattling: tremors in diverse parts of North America and the world.
Seismic activity over the last two months (late February through late April 2026) has been notably high, characterized by several major events exceeding magnitude 7.0 and a series of smaller but felt tremors in the United States.
On April 24, multiple communities in southern Missouri were shaken by a4.0 magnitude earthquake happened around seven miles underground beneath the community of Cooter. This is smack in the middle of a region 150 miles long, spanning five states, that in 1811-1812 caused the most powerful quakes ever record in the continguous forty-eight states (yes, greater than any in California).
Is this massive fault coming alive? (Prayer need.)
Tremors have also been felt in New Jersey, North Carolina, and the state of Washington—where an offshore fault line in the Pacific has the potential to create a great tsunami threat for the Northwest and Canada.
Overseas, Japan recorded a strong (magnitude-seven) offshore quake in the same seismic zone that, if you recall, caused a tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima nuclear reactor in 2011. As for Indonesia, which suffered the historic 2004 “Great Asian tsunami,” a magnitude-7.4 occurred on April 1.
These rattlings and others have taken place as unusual meteorite activity also has been reported.
As The New York Times said, “It seems as though stars have been shooting across the heavens far more than usual lately. In March, fireball after fireball coursed through the skies of North America and Europe. Some of the dazzling apparitions dropped meteorites in their wake. In Ohio, space shards set down in fields and forests. Other rocky visitors smashed through the roofs of people’s homes and ricocheted around their bedrooms.
“It’s a shooting gallery,” said Mike Hankey, an amateur astronomer at the American Meteor Society. “There’s stuff flying all over the place.”
The number of fireballs over the first three months of 2026 was double what is usually reported to the society in the first quarter of other years.
How’s this for a “coincidence”?
“A dramatic photo shows the extremely unlikely moment when a blazing fireball meteor photobombed a contender for the ‘Great Comet of 2026’ as it shone in the night sky over a 500-year-old European castle,” reports LiveScience.
“Photographers Petr Horálek and Josef Kujal snapped the cosmic coincidence on April 18 in the skies over the ruins of the 15th-century Kunětická Hora Castle, in the central Czech Republic, at around 4:15 a.m. local time. They were initially attempting to capture the lengthy tail of Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) when a bright streak of light flew across the sky in front of their target.”
We all know the fire and fury presently occurring on earth itself, as if chaos has been unleashed from nether regions.
More to come? Or simple blips?
