CA could drop off any day now.

I read a great book many years ago named “8.0.” It was about an 9.0 earthquake that hit the Memphis area and, for all intents and purposes, cut the country in half as it traveled up the Tennessee Valley all the way to Canada.

Based on this map that is not too far-fetched.

the researchers were surprised to see changes in stress types and orientations over short distances, with major rotations occurring over only tens of miles

We see that all the time in the earl business.

I’m not buying the big red blob that runs down the entire East Coast to Florida. It is a passive margin and one would expect tension instead of compression (i.e. normal faults instead of reverse faults.) Glacial rebound all the way down to Florida? Ha.

Bump...

We have felt a few in Wisconsin, but I had to move to San Diego to REALLY feel one - moved the furniture away from the walls, things fell and crashed; no one hurt, no building damage though, thank goodness.

The native Californians called those, ‘Baby Quakes’ and just take them in stride. ;)

The red area must mean none or near none. In my 76 years mostly spent in the red zone I have felt exactly one, a little tremor just a few years ago.

Nothing on Cascadia???

Little concerned about the corner between PA, Ohio and the WV panhandle. Not too far from me here in Pittsburgh.

Tremors can be dangerous....
