There are too many wierdos out there for me to be willing to share more info. than I need/want to on the internet. (In my best John McCain voice - “Everyone thinks I'm paranoid! Don't they?”)
Some times I do put too much info. out there in spite of myself. oops.
Santana the Weather Dragon has been scowling in his burrow all afternoon, and the catz are huddling and looking offended.
How far are you from the New Madrid Fault?
Are you close to any fault line?
The dog has been unsettled, barking at trees, generally nervous. We live in an earthquake zone.
Everyone....are you in or near an earthquake zone?
Who would have thought we would have had 5.0 here last June?
I’ve lived in earthquake zones all my life, and even been in many quakes. My son lives close to the New Madrid fault, and while he was here, there was a small quake in AR.
Pets are often more aware of shifts than we are, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can tell you an earthquake is imminent. Still, don’t ignore them completely.
Oh, yes! The last "big" one here (rocked the region) was the Ash Wednesday earthquake in 2001.
We're overdue for a 9+ here. But "overdue" can mean it might not happen for a few centuries yet.
I did not grow up in earthquake country and found them unsettling, but then I've sat through more than a few tornado watches/alerts.
I’m far away from any earthquake areas ... about 150 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. We don’t get much of any disasters here ... too far from the coast for most (although not all) hurricane problems, too far south for the worst winter storms, in the wrong place for tornado-type activity.
There is a buried supposedly inactive fault a little over three fourths of a mile to my west.
Before I moved, it was four hundred foot from my front porch.
In 2002 there was an earthquake in Plattesburg NY.
We felt it here in Orange County due to the supposedly inactive fault.
