Rev 18:8 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.
Rev 11:13 And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of people [fig., individuals] were killed in the earthquake; and the rest became terrified, and they gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev 11:14 The second horror is past. Listen! The third horror is coming quickly!
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet, and [there] occurred great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world became [the kingdom] of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign into the ages of the ages [fig., forever and ever]!"
Rev 11:16 And the twenty-four elders, the ones sitting on their thrones before {the throne of} God, fell on their faces and prostrated themselves in worship before God,
Rev 11:17 saying, "We give thanks to You, O Lord God, the Almighty, the One being and the One [who] was, because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
Rev 11:18 "And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged [came], and [the time] to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and the ones fearing Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy the ones utterly destroying the earth."
Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in His temple, and [there] occurred lightning flashes and voices and peals of thunder and an earthquake and great hail.
The first verse adds some credence to these possibilities. Next, earthquakes usually denote political upheaval and hail as in the first trumpet was symbolic of invading armies or in the modern age, attacks from armies-be they long range, ground, terrorristic or bio-weaponed or even nuclear as things really start to get out of control.
Still, all speculation of course.
