This is like saying I will die sometime  so I should start to panic now. If you look in history they have occurred in the earliest written time. Part of nature the same way it rains/snows or is a sunny day. True with internet and better ways of getting world news to everyone you can be in the zone at the time it occurred. 50 years ago you would read a blurb in your local newspaper about someones death or some catastrophic event. Now we can text, photo and relay it to all as it happens. What you are saying is a normal occurance and no more or less than 50 years ago. Even equipment for measuring has improved that is why you get readings of higher numbers. We just hear about it and get to see the graphic details. Sort of like now on utube you can watch footage of actual wars occurring right now.    pffffft lets get on with life

seems like you need more education to understand this is not some perceived punishment from a religous text

There´s a 100 percent chance of an earthquake today.

Earthquakes are very common occurrences on this planet. So today -- somewhere -- an earthquake will occur.

It may be so light that only sensitive instruments will perceive its motion; it may shake houses, rattle windows, and displace small objects; or it may be sufficiently strong to cause property damage, injury, and death.

It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage.

end or beginning the change has been ongoing it is just with internet and immediate news we hear about more of them .........

Earthquakes happen all the time. There are probably several happening right now at different places around the world. But they´re all small ones, and are mostly not noticed. We only know about most of them because we have electronic instruments that can detect them. Some slightly larger ones happen less often, and are noticed, though they don´t do any damage. Even less often is a large one that does some noticible shaking and some minor damage. The really big ones are least frequent. Fortunately.

The crust of the earth is made up of gigantic tectonic plates, and they are always in motion against, along or away from each other. The gradual movement of these plates releases energy, and we see these releases of energy as earthquakes. Along the plate boundaries we see what are called fault lines, and the quakes usually center on or around them.

As regards when the next "big" quake will come, we don´t know. But it is coming. Big quakes have punctuated all of recorded history, and will continue to do so. We live on a living planet. Even the earth itself is alive. It can move - and it does.
