Thats interesting about the earthquakes thanks for posting. Am just going to ignore all the tit for tat as haven no idea what thats on about, nothing to do with the topic...I just dont have time for that nonsense.
In nz we do have earthquakes from time to time, there have been recent ones in Kaikoura and the last big one in Christchurch which my brother was there that day but thankfully he could escape...but even now they are still trying to rebuild the city..their famous cathedral completely collapsed.
You will never know what complete devatsation an earthquake can cause unless you been in one. Only a minute or so and everything manmade is shaken, what you could have built for many years could come crumbling down just like that, if you dont have the right foundation. And they cannot be predicted when they will come. Who could cause an earthquake but God almighty? Insurance people say they are 'an act of God'
Nobody wants to be judged and found wanting.,.but after an earthquake...everyone realises there is a God. As people went about rescuing one another miracle after miracle can happen..those that survive are absolutely thankful.
In revelation it does mention about earthquakes in chapter 11
Jesus mentioned earthquakes as well as pestilence and famine, warning Jerusalem that it would come. How does anyone think the temple that Herod had built, which was abosolutely ginormous, got destroyed. Why did Jesus tell people living in Judea to flee. Sure there were armies encompassing Jerusalem. But even a full man made assualt on a city isnt quite the same as an earthquake. In 9/11 twin towers got destroyed by a high jacked plane by terrorists, and thats a tragedy, but NYC is still there, it wasnt shaken to its knees. It didnt cause such severe damage that an earthquake can of such magnitude.
Note in revelation the angels pour out their vials and they are all full of woes. Plagues and hail and earthquakes and such. Its one thing for humans to fight and argue with each other, givng each other a hard time its another thing when one encounters the wrath of God. You cannot fight an earthquake, flood, tsunami, hail, tornado. If you think you can stop those things well good luck.

OP started the tit for tat and ruined their own thread. Could have been an interesting topic,I agree.
