The WARNING: ALL on GOOD FRIDAY (April 22nd) OR between NOW and the end of April 22nd 2011, there will be NINE more earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or greater but only one of those would be of magnitude 7.0 or greater. The final earthquake would be the 77th. THE FINAL EARTHQUAKE WOULD OCCUR ON APRIL 22nd 2011(Good Friday/Earth Day). And the Final 77th Earthquake WOULD BE MORE TERRIFYING than the 9.0 that occurred on March 11th. The final EQ would also be the 7th earthquake since March 9th(the first day of Lent) to be of magnitude 7.0 or higher.

Ross Stein of the USGS is focusing his research on the fragment of the Pacific tectonic plate lodged beneath Tokyo – movement of which is believed to have caused a 7.3-magnitude quake in 1855 that killed an estimated 7,000 people. 'We believe the faults which bound the fragment were brought closer to failure by the magnitude 9 earthquake,' Mr Stein said.
