Earthquake in Honduras

Today is the first day after most of the Honduran population was woken up by an unexpected tremor that rocked almost all the country for about 15 seconds - give or take a few. The epicenter happened on the Caribbean Sea, 125 km. NE from the coast of the city of La Ceiba, very close Roatan, an island that serves as a very popular touristic destination. The earthquake occurred at around 2:45 a.m. on Thursday morning and it generated mass panic on most of the fellow residents of this beautiful country, Honduras.

Now, let’s analyze this event:

Honduras has not been known as a country with a high level of earthquake occurrence. This is probably because the whole country is located on top of just one plate and not on top a fault, where two tectonic plates would be in contact. Honduras is located on top of the Caribbean plate, a relatively small and almost stable tectonic plate until lately. See, the important thing about this is that if no fault crosses beneath the Honduran territory, there is a big probability that earthquakes' epicenters will never happen directly below the country. So why did we feel this tremor? Well, because it was a 7.3 magnitude quake in the Richter Scale, and that means that this was a very powerful one. This has been the fifth strongest earthquake in this year (2009), out of the 25 that have been significantly strong. Now here are more important facts:
Since 2007, the amount of significant earthquakes around the world, happening in the first five months of the year (up to May), has increased approximately 60 to 80 percent, starting during the late year 2008, and repeating already during the year 2009. These changes have been very noticeable through this decade, when we started having only 10 quakes on the year 2002 during the first 5 months. There’s an exception though; there were 27 significant earthquakes on the first five months of the year 2003. Another important fact is that the Caribbean Plate started to cause earthquakes in the year 2007, which means it started to move in that year in a more significant way; not that it had never moved before.
Is all this telling us that "SOMETHING" is changing? Is it a warning? This seems to be a gradual phenomenon, and might be a "wake up call" to US; not just us Hondurans but all of us human beigns.
I'am not trying to relate this to the year 2012; it might not have anything to do with the predictions, but at least I think that this should get everyone thinking. Be aware of the signs people. We may be approaching something really "important".
Do your own investigations and figure out your truth. When you start doing this you will understand many things on your own; no one will force knowledge into your mind.
