I was too busy writing an earthquake explanation/prediction at the time to notice the breaking news that the Caribbean was shaken by a magnitude 7.6 at 9:51 p.m. EST, following is the title and body of my post. I was engaged in a lengthy phone call from 10:55 p.m. EST and heard news of the quake on a TV while I was in that phone call.

The prophecy says "This is the day" divinely-permitted troubles would begin, and the prophecy is dated Wednesday January 8, 1936 A.D.
