London shaken by earthquake...
Britain was hit by its biggest earthquake in more than a decade early today.

Just after 1am a powerful tremor, measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale, woke tens of thousands of people as buildings shook, windows rattled and alarms went off.

The quake was centred on the West Midlands but was felt as far afield as Wales, Yorkshire and London. The Met received more than 50 calls, mostly from the north-west of the capital.

Two sudden shockwaves were felt hundreds of miles apart, knocking out electricity and phone lines, but there were no reports of serious injury or damage to property. The tremor caused widespread alarm, with emergency services across the country reporting a deluge of calls. West Midlands police alone received more than 5,000 calls within an hour of it.

The earthquake would have lasted between 10 and 15 seconds, said the British Geological Survey.

There was a second moment of panic later when an aftershock occurred in the same region at 4.42am, nearly four hours after the original tremor. Seismologists said the earthquake was equivalent to 1,000 tonnes of TNT being set off, or the power of a small nuclear weapon.

Although significant by British standards, it was small by world standards, with tremors in areas such as California and India reaching seven on the Richter scale - equivalent to 32 million tonnes of TNT.

Scientists at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh were immediately alerted and spent the night studying reports as they came in from around the country.

"Although earthquakes are relatively common in the West Midlands, this was fairly big for Britain," Alice Walker, the BGS's head of seismology, told the Standard.

"We would expect something of this size every eight to 10 years in the UK but because this occurred in such a heavily populated area, we were inundated with calls."

Professor Peter Styles, who runs the Earth Monitoring Centre at the University of Keele, said the earthquake was probably caused by an ancient fault line which runs along either side of the enormous block of rock on which Birmingham sits.

He said: "Either side of it there are quite active faults. They run down the edge of Wales. It's almost certainly one of those faults that's moving a bit this morning."

Police in Dudley and Wolverhampton - the epicentre of the tremor - were deluged with calls from terrified householders woken when their houses began to shake. Dudley police said 12 people in their nightclothes walked into their local police station.

Alex Potter from south Birmingham said his first thought was that the city had been hit by a bomb. He said he felt two tremors, both of which began with a "boom" sound. "My immediate thought was, 'Oh God. They've bombed Birmingham'. My windows shook, my chair shook, the whole thing shook. It was really quite frightening."

The second tremor caused "really violent shaking", waking up his neighbours.

Colin Smith, 45, of Erdington, Birmingham, added: "I was sound asleep when I was thrown on the floor, banging my head. The house shook - it was terrifying."

Duty Officer Bill Rice of West Midlands Ambulance service said he also felt the tremor from the control room in Dudley. He said: "The building shook for about 30 seconds and all the alarms sounded. We've had a couple of calls to people who are rather upset and frightened but we have dealt with those."

Richard Flynn, from Oldbury in the West Midlands, said: "The house started shaking quite violently at about 1am. All the power was cut off and seemed to be so for about a five-mile radius. The shaking and trembling was really quite severe. Quite a few people came out of their houses wondering what was going on. The streets were in darkness."

Is the United States next?

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

Earthquake in New York and California...
Our Lady - "My child, the earthquakes will increase now. There will be one in New York. Now, My child, I tell you this to prepare. You are allowed, My child, to experience all that mankind can suffer. How well you listened to Us when We told you to place on your shelves cans of food, jars of water, blankets. You found it very cold, My child, without heat and without light, and without any form of recreation other then to pray. And that was God's way of letting the world know that they will be on their knees; and one of these days they will be prayer, for many the first time in many years. But why, My children, must We allow all these disasters to happen to you, and have to bring you to your knees in prayer? Can you not listen, and can you not seek for the truth, all who call themselves atheists, and those who have half - hearted interest in religion at all? They call it a thing of the past. It is not a thing of the past, but it is a means for your salvation: accept it and you will be saved; reject it and you will be lost.
"I repeat again, the earthquakes will increase in volume. California shall be struck. New York shall be struck. As I told you once before, there will be earthquakes in places that have never known a quake. It will startle them and frighten them, but will they come to their knees? Few will, My child, because I can tell you this: they will not have the time to make amends; that is the sad part, My child and My children." (10-5-85)

Great Earthquake in Los Angles and New York...
Jesus - "There will be pestilence anew. There will be earthquakes in many places. The present ones have been nothing compared to what will happen next. There will be a great earthquake in the Los Angeles area, and also New York. I told you this before, My children and My child, but I must repeat to you: Many prayers are needed now, for the balance is most uneasy." (6-17-89)

Tragedies and disasters shall increase . . .
Jesus - "Great elemental tragedies, disasters, manmade and God - sent upon mankind, shall increase in volume, shall increase in intensity and numbers. Remember, My children, you do not understand that supernatural, for there will be accidents that are not accidents." (5-26-79)

The world shall be seized by tremors . . .
Michael - "Listen well, all mankind of earth. You have received fair warning from the Queen of Heaven. You will listen, or you will receive a just punishment.
"The world shall be seized by tremors, the firmament shall be aflame in explosion, and all that is rotten shall fall!" (5-14-77)

Work to accelerate when tremors come . . .
Jesus - "I assure you, My children, the work for Heaven will accelerate when the tremors come to the earth. Be ye warned that houses will blow in the wind. And if this does not bring man back to his senses, then skin shall dry up on the bones and blow away as if it had never been! Many will see this, My children, and still not believe that it is the hand of God upon man, because the hearts of man have been hardened by sin; because sin has become a way of life among you.” (6-18-77)

Hunger in America . . .
Our Lady - "My children in the United States of America, must you go hungry? Many parts of your country shall suffer from want of food, for the winter will be cold. Many shall die in the coming year, My children. There will be accidents that are not accidents. Hunger shall be in the homes of many." 12-7-78)

Store canned goods, water and blankets . . .
Our Lady - "My children, I caution you now, and I wish that you remember these instructions from several years ago in earth's time that I gave to you, to keep in your homes a good supply of canned good. They have shelf value, My children, they will not spoil. But better that you keep them and they spoil than to have come upon you the great Chastisement. It will be a ball of fire which will ignite many of the chemicals that are being stored up for the destruction of the nations.
"My children, not only with the canned foods will you store just food, but you must also make known to your families and your friends that they had best keep blankets and water in tight containers; for there will be on the onset of the Chastisement, there will be nothing that you can buy due to contamination." (7-1-85)

Earthquakes, famine, starvation. . .
Our Lady - "Earthquakes in your country, the United States, extending up through Canada, earthquakes in placed never before known to exist, or the possibility of. And they will know it comes but from the hand of God. Famine, starvation, your crops will rot. The heat will burn, the cattle will starve. And why? Because you refuse to turn back, complacent in your arrogance." (5-30-81)

US - another tremendous earthquake...
Our Lady - "You cannot count your earth - years as being long any longer. If only I could show you, the prideful and boastful United States and Canada - if I could show you what the enemy has in store for you now, you would grovel on your knees to make restitution to the Eternal Father. But now this must be taught to you in a most sorrowful way.
"Your country, My child, the United States, shall know of another tremendous earthquake. I know this grips your heart with fear, My child, but you will see and understand." (3-18-89)

The earthquake in Guatemala . . .
     Our Lady - "You must not, My child, concern yourself with questioning the ways of the Eternal Father. I assure you, the majority of the dead, My child, were prepared. In their poorness of material in this world, they nourished their souls with grace in faith.
     "The huge earth tremors and the destruction thereof was given for reason. Accept and learn by these warnings from Heaven. Your country, the United States of America, and other countries of your earth have been consecrated to My Heart, My children. It is for this reason that many have been spared in those areas the grievous trials that are now starting for mankind.
     "There will be accidents that are not accidents, tremors in areas never before experiencing these terrors!
     "As in the past, My child, I made it known through you and others that many shall be removed from your world.
     "We in Heaven, My children, are not concerned of your body. It is the destruction of your eternal souls, or its salvation, that is of major importance.” (2-10-76)

Eruptions and manifestations shall bring terror to the hearts of many . . .
     Veronica - The sky is taking on a very strange glow. The usual blue lights are replaced now by a deep green. Now coming out of the center of the sky, the shadowy green coloring is separating, and Michael is coming forward. Oh! Michael has the balance in his right hand, the golden balance, and in his left hand is a very long sword, pointed, sharply pointed on the end. Michael is pointing the sword downwards.
     Michael - "Hasten, harken, and listen to the words of warning to a generation that has become perverse, degraded - and abominations committed to offend your God. In justice and for penance, there will be visited upon your earth great trials - droughts, famine, rotting crops, hurricanes, floods, all manner of earth tremors and disturbances of nature, increasing in volume, spreading throughout your world. There will be eruptions and manifestations that shall bring terror to the hearts of many, in places that have never seen nor heard of such volume of sound and fierce eruptions of the earth.
     "Be ye warned that houses will blow in the wind, and skin will dry up and blow off the bones as if it had never been. Eyes will see and still not believe, so hardened are the hearts of mankind.
     "The warnings, the numerous warnings that have been given to mankind have gone by unnoticed, and man continues upon his road to his own destruction. Sins of the flesh have multiplied, and many souls are falling fast into the abyss, their eternal reward being damnation in hell." (8-21-76)

How can we protect our homes, families and loved ones from an earthquake?
We will be spared of earthquakes if we keep crucifixes on all our outside doors.
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84)

Heaven’s Home Protection Packet...
Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the "Heaven’s Home Protection Packet" there are instructions, four crucifixes, and a tube of special cement for wooden or metal crucifixes. Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling.

Crucifix to guard entrances to home…
Jesus - "I must reveal, My children, to the world again, that you are to keep a crucifix on your front door and your back door. All entrances to your home must be guarded by the crucifix. There has not been one home on Long Island that had a crucifix on its door that did fall to any evil. I do not speak of the trees, My child; I speak of mankind. You did not know a major disaster as has happened, My children, in Mexico. You see, My child, I set you down in that area to bring the word to mankind, and it was through these words that many listened and the passed through the horrible experience of a hurricane." (10-5-85)

Keep the sacramentals that have been given to you through the ages of your world's time...
Jesus - "I bless you, My children, and I diffuse among you the graces for conversion and cure. Keep the sacramentals that have been given to you through the ages of your world's time. They have been given for reason. Do not cast them aside, for when you do thus you will cast aside your protection against satan and his agents who are loose now in full battle upon earth." (2-10-73)

Keep your sacramentals about your necks...
Our Lady - "Keep your sacramentals about your necks. I say about your necks, not for decoration, but because many shall flee with only what they have on their bodies! It is now a supernatural protection, My children, that you have: your medals, your scapulars, and even your Rosary, your beads of prayer about your neck, your children's necks and all those who wish to be saved.
"The monuments, the statues, must be kept in your homes. As it was in the days of old, the angel of death shall pass by those who retain the monuments in their homes." (5-18-77)

Heaven’s Personal Protection Packet . . .
Our Lady tells us to be protected from all evil, we must wear the following sacramentals around our necks: a rosary, a crucifix, the St. Benedict medal, the Miraculous Medal, and the scapular.
