I hope they are right. If they are wrong, the karmic effect of preventing someone from preparing for an impending catastrophe might be severe.

Yes it's common to have earthquake swarms...BUT...over the last couple of years I've been watching this stuff everyday for a couple years with a USGS gadget on igoogle. The earthquakes have definitely increased in intensity and frequency....especially quakes is odd places like a 4.0 this week Oklahoma and the ring of fire is really getting active.
Today was very active all over the world and there were 8 5.0 on the southern half of the ring and one 5.0 in China, mostly in the ocean, the 6.0 in Guatemala, 3.8 Hawaii and about 4-5 2.0,3.0 and 4.0 quakes scattered around the ring. Then a huge swarm around the Mediterranean, Greece, Iraq, Yemen area...one int he Atlantic.
Last year we had numerous quakes in southern Calif. that broke water mains, when the normal is only 3-4 breaks a year. In the last week there have been several fairly significant quakes in the state, but nothing in comparison to Haiti.
I sense a build up of some sort and can't imagine that this activity is normal compared to 50 years ago and beyond for a few thousand years.
