The Solar Eclipse, and Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria... What Does It Mean?!

David Meade, a Christian conspiracy theorist believes the apocalypse is coming, TOMORROW, on Saturday September 23rd.
Meade's book, Planet X, explains that the a planet called Nibiru (aka Planet X) would crash into Earth. The theory expects Planet X to first pass the Earth, then bring a string of natural disasters with it before the end.
A total Solar Eclipse occurred on August 21, 2017, the sun being completely covered by a ~strange~ shadow, darkening the Earth.
From August 25 - September 3, 2017, Category 4 Hurricane Harvey struck the Southern United States, mainly Texas, along with Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, and and other areas in the South.
From August 30 - September 15, 2017, Category 5 Hurricane Irma hit Florida, the Caribbean, Cuba, and even MORE of the South.
Hurricane Maria, which has just started and should continue hitting soon, devastated Puerto Rico with winds of 150 mph recently.
A 7.1 magnitude earthquake has also recently hit Mexico, many more quakes like it hitting around the world.
Looking at this, perhaps Meade was right. Could the eclipse have been caused by Planet X? Has Nibiru crossing our world caused this line-up of disasters for our Earth?
Nah, probably not. A solar eclipse happens when the Sun and Earth align, with the Moon perfectly lined up in the middle. So it was the moon, not Planet X, that crossed the Earth. Sorry, Meade.
Though the "end" can seem like a funny thing to talk about, all the victims of these hurricanes have, and continue to suffer. Our love and support continue to go out to those who've lost loved ones, and those who have been lost.
Shout out to Silver Oak's Leadership Class for their support through the first Quad Party! Thank you to everyone who's helped to support hurricane victims in these hard times.
UPDATE!
Today, on September 22, 2017, two major earthquakes hit. One, 5.7 magnitude, hit close to home off the coast of North California, under the Pacific Ocean. (Yes, earthquakes can happen under water, tectonic plates people! @ Environmental Science students...) Another was a 6.1 magnitude quake which hit in Japan.
Of course, this still doesn't mean Planet X will be crashing into the Earth, bringing the world to an end, but it doesn't hurt to say a little prayer. Our support goes out to the victims of these quakes as well.
