I do not know about Long Valley, but I DO keep a close watch for any info on Yellowstone activity.
An eruption of that caldera could pretty much end America as we know it, but Obambie is just as bad.
With the Marxist in charge, America may be gone by 2012.
My other area of interest is the New Madrid fault, as it runs through former home location (Memphis).
One thing that really troubles me is that the more recent tall buildings (1960+)are all concrete, with no structural steel.
Remember, the last big earthquake (1812) caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards.
Here is an interesting site, http://newmadridearthquake.com/
They have posted info on the Japan quake.
Its been speculated that an increase of drilling around Arkansas has increased earthquake activity, kinda makes me wonder if Obamabie is pushing for an excessive amount of drilling there around the New Madrid Fault so as to make it happen.
I have absolutely no doubts he wants panic, ruin, desperation, hopelessness just so he can strut in and become the Messiah.
In a worst case scenario the entire fault structure from New Orleans to Detroit could move.
Rebar is highly structural when encapsulated in concrete.
“One thing that really troubles me is that the more recent tall buildings (1960+)are all concrete, with no structural steel.”
You may be looking at buildings appearing to be cement or masonry. But I think there is a steel framework, onto which the outer surface is attached.
In California, where we have history with quakes, a big effort went into reinforcing old masonry buildings.
(I am talking about 100+ year old red brick buildings, which in fact were originally not reinforced.)
