When is the Big One? Earthquakes, calamities and other portents

THE Philippines sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a belt of countries around the Pacific Ocean that is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Underground, it is lined with many fault lines, fissures and cracks. Its tectonic plates jostle against each other a few times each year. And there is always talk of the Big One, like a dark cloud in the air.
