Devil's Advocate: In common parlance, a devil's advocate is someone who, given a certain argument, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with, for the sake of debate.

I hate to play devil's advocate, with all the end of the world hysteria that I read and hear about lately, yet someone should.
PLEASE stop showing ignorance and do more research. Your negativity could be subjective fear mongering and creating more harm then good ... including to yourself.
Earth has had catastrophic events throughout history. Today's time period is no different. Being aware and prepared helps ... along with newer technology ... to prevent us from being in the dark about them ... but they still happen.
The thing about earthquakes are that they happen around the world everyday. We generally only hear about the big ones, or more destructive ones, because there are too many to report them all. Seriously!
This would be a good website to start educating oneself.

Earthquakes are not the only area of destruction we have felt over eons. We have had major or minor flooding due to many reasons. Ice and snow storms have been a part of history as well as volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and mudslides from as far back as mankind has recorded them.
All pretty disastrous, to those of that time period, when they occurred. I'm sure they too felt it was the end of the world experiencing such events.
We are media savy today and the media loves to keep us entertained with world wide destruction and catastrophic events. However, they don't always enlighten us on the complete truth.
That's for us to do ... wisely ... and by using all available expert data like the website above or other websites that have reported historical events.
Please keep in mind ... like the weather ... we have learned that forecasting isn't always accurate either.
Using our instinct/intuition is important ... unless it's mired in fear mongering emotions.
