Yes. Several Scriptures in the Old Testament of the 66 books we call The Bible, it clearly speaks of the earth shaking and trembling before Jesus' birth. [Christ means, the anointed] Here are a few from Samuel and King David. 2 Samuel 22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry. Psalms 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

∙ 12y agoThere were no earthquakes "in" Christchurch before the one on September 4, 2010. However Christchurch was often shaken by tremors from distant ones with epicentres in the Southern Alps, West Coast or elsewhere in New Zealand.
During the 1980's the old buildings in the city's Arts Centre were "earthquake strengthened" with steel cables and other reinforcing, but this was only to resist the level of shaking that was expected from distant quakes.
