7.7 Quake in Indonesia Synchronicity

posting this story because I received this interpretation of Parashat Vaera on email.
The time coinciding is because it was a leap year. 5766 is not leap year.

The extended narrative of the ten plagues that God visits upon the Egyptians now begins. The first plague turns the Nile to blood. (Last year, we read about water turning to blood the week after the devastating tsunami in Asia.) The theme of the plagues is "that Egypt will know that I am God" a phrase that recurs ten times for each of the plagues. It is the answer to Pharaoh's retort: "Who is the Lord that I should heed God and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord nor will I let Israel go." (Ex. 5:2). Indeed, this phrase is also repeated four times in our prophetic passage (Ez. 28:26b; 29:9; 29:16; 29:21).

I'm posting it because of the synchronicity. I believe Torah is alive.
just a little too coincidental. Water turns to Blood. hmmmmmmmmm
when the sun sets red, the water turns to blood, dun't't?

Huge quake off Indonesian coast
A massive underwater earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 has struck off the eastern coast of Indonesia, according to the US Geological Survey.

The quake reportedly took place at 0158 local time on Saturday morning (1658 GMT on Friday) in the Banda Sea.

There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

In December 2004, a huge earthquake off Indonesia's coast killed hundreds of thousands of people by triggering a tsunami across the Indian Ocean.

There is no immediate risk of a tsunami from the latest quake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre reports.

According to the US Geological Survey, the epicentre of the quake was at a point some 195km (120 miles) south of the city of Ambon at a depth some 342km (212 miles) below sea level.

People in Ambon fled their homes in panic when the two-minute long quake struck, the Associated Press news agency quotes internet news site, Detik.com, as saying.

Indonesia's location along a boundary between continental plates makes it prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The 2004 tsunami had a magnitude of 9 and killed more than 130,000 people in Indonesia's western province of Banda Aceh.

Tens of thousands more died when giant sea waves triggered by the quake lashed the shores of Thailand, Sri Lanka and southern India.

Another strong earthquake in early 2005 killed almost 1,000 people on the Indonesian island of Nias.
