Besides a cold and extended winter, I’ve thought about Maine.

No tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes there.

And I would imagine most of the population is rural.

I’ve never been to the NE USA though.

Many years ago David Wilkerson foresaw a national geological catastrophe hitting the middle part of the USA. He said it would garner around the clock news coverage for many months. The only problem with his prophetic vision was that he set a time frame for it. Bad mistake but I don't think that makes the vision any less true.

I honestly believe the next big quake will be on the New Madrid fault line, and when it goes many, many millions of people will be affected by it. It will indeed become a national calamity, and one that the nation asked for when it, once again, tries to divide Jerusalem.

See my tagline.

No, the big one in 1936, which affected a much larger area.

So, we’re twenty years away from the next big one, give or take 15 years.

Johnstown was a poorly maintained dam that failed. No earthquake there.

...8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755...


Actually, the 1960 earthquake in Chile and the 1964 Alaska earthquake were both significantly stronger than the Lisbon earthquake.

“All my Tennessee kin will be moving in with me in Pennsylvania.”

I was the only person in White Bluff, Tn. to have earthquake insurance. It was cheap.

I just read a book about this made from various diaries one man Said he was about a quarter mile from the bank of the Mississippi River and looked out and couldn’t see the water he normally saw. Cracks and crevices opened all around him people fell on and we’re crushed to death. Then he looked out an saw the water was rushing but back in the wrong direction.

To get back to safe ground they had to throw a rope to tie around him in case he fell in too. A lot of fur trapper’s around then.
I’ll try to find the book it was off a free site and supposedly true accounts of people who lived near the river...

We lived in Cape Girardeau MO area on the north end of the N.M fault for about 10 years.
While we lived there Iben Browning predicted a greatly increased chance of the fault rupturing in early December 1990.
We had noticed occasional tremors before, but there were two only three weeks apart in September 1990.
They seemed to lend credence to the prediction, so a lot of preparation took place.
Nothing happened. Many people scorned Browning, but the false alarm helped put earthquake awareness in the news.
Many buildings were retrofitted and other measures taken.

Now, only our river cabin is in the moderate damage area of the fault. It is all steel construction and we carry earthquake insurance on it.

She does have the child out in front of her to test the ground first. Then he’s behind her-he wants to be really sure that it is safe.

If Jonesboro then hopefully not in the liquifying Delta soil, but on some hills with a rock foundation!
