Dear Ones: We have experienced an earthquake and may or may not experience more in the form of 'after-shocks' which can be every bit as bad-or even worse-than the original.
Even as we speak, seismologists at the USGS and elsewhere are still 'fine-tuning' the exact data for the original quake. In fact, it has been downgraded by the USGS to a 5.8 mag, and at a depth greater than the original one km (0.62 mi).

I urge one and all to not panic. Use common sense and listen to public officials for safety information.

Most of all, take comfort in these words of Scripture. I quote here the NIV for Protestants and the KJV for Catholic and Orthodox readers, as representative 'versions'.
Of course, the Word of God is Universal...and so the message is the same in all versions of Holy Scripture.
Earthquakes in The New Testament figure prominently in Matthew 24 (meaning 'verse' 24), Luke 21 and Mark 13. I urge you to read them in their totality yourselves.
We will start with Matthew 24:6-8. Jesus is speaking:
"6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains."
Interestingly, in the King James Version of the Bible, we read:"and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places" Mt 24:7 (KJV)
Back to the NIV translation, Luke 21 reads: "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Luke 21:10-11 (NIV)
Back to the NIV translation, Mark 13 reads: "8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." Mark 13:8 (NIV)
Back to the NIV translation, Luke 21 reads: "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Luke 21:10-11 (NIV)
Back to the NIV translation, Mark 13 reads: "8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." Mark 13:8 (NIV)
The corresponding verse in the KJV reads: "...and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." Mark 13:8
