Hopeless.
Blue glow means a huge disaster coming, usually something explosive.
An
earthquake light is a
luminous aerial
phenomenon that reportedly appears in the sky at or near areas of
tectonic stress,
seismic activity, or
volcanic eruptions.
[1] There is no consensus of opinion as to the causes of the phenomenon (or phenomena) involved.
One of the first records of earthquake lights is during
869 Sanriku earthquake, described as "strange lights in the sky" in
Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku.[

Kalapana earthquake.
[2] They are reported to have shapes similar to those of the
auroras, with a white to bluish hue, but occasionally they have been reported having a wider color spectrum. The luminosity is reported to be visible for several seconds, but has also been reported to last for tens of minutes. Accounts of viewable distance from the epicenter varies: in the 1930 Idu earthquake, lights were reported up to 70 miles (110 km) from the epicenter.
[3] Earthquake lights were reportedly spotted in
Tianshui, Gansu, approximately 400 kilometres (250 mi) north-northeast of the
2008 Sichuan earthquake's epicenter.
[4]
During the
2003 Colima earthquake in Mexico, colorful lights were seen in the skies for the duration of the earthquake.[

2007 Peru earthquake lights were seen in the skies above the sea and filmed by many people.
[5] The phenomenon was also observed and caught on film during the
2009 L'Aquila[6][7] and the
2010 Chile earthquakes.
[8] Video footage has also recorded this happening during the 9 April 2011 eruption of
Sakurajima Volcano, Japan[

North Canterbury earthquake in New Zealand, that occurred 1 September 1888. The lights were visible in the morning of 1 September in Reefton, and again on 8 September.

More recent appearances of the phenomenon, along with video footage of the incidents, happened in
Sonoma County, California
on August 24, 2014,
[10] and in
Wellington, New Zealand
on November 14, 2016, where blue flashes like lightning were seen in the night sky, and recorded on several videos.
[11] On September 8, 2017, many people reported such sightings in Mexico City after a
8.2 magnitude earthquake with epicenter 460 miles (740 km) away, near Pijijiapan in the state of Chiapas.
[12]
Appearances of the earthquake light seem to occur when the quakes have a high magnitude, generally 5 or higher on the
Richter scale.
[10] There have also been incidents of yellow, ball-shaped lights appearing before earthquakes.
[13]
There are evidences of this phenomenon that can be seen through videos
[14] taken seconds after
a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in the city of
Acapulco,
Mexico around 20:47 on 7 September 2021. The New York Times reported that "Videos from both Acapulco and Mexico City also showed the night sky lit up with electrical flashes as power lines swayed and buckled."
[15]
A recent one was seen in Qinghai Province, China at 01:45 on 8 January 2022. Surveillance video of a local resident caputured the moment. During the
2022 Fukushima earthquake the phenomena was captured on video from multiple angles.
