My guess would be oil/gas exploration.
Independence Valley was the one I was thinking about. Somehow I thought it was closer to Wells. I tried to remember what side of the Pequops (sp) it was on.
Looks like on this map . . .
And another 'route' from Oakland CA through this quake's location.
I realize you are quite disinclined to construe things this way . . . however . . .
IF
overall global quake phenomena DID increase 20-30% in intensity, frequency and raw numbers of quakes . . . THEN what potential would you see for dramatic action along one or both of those routes?
I guess the Independence Valley Prison would only be about 20 miles from the epicenter, right?
Strategerist will fiercely disagree. LOL.
Nevertheless, things ARE racheting up regardless of what evidence has convincingly surfaced yet, or not.
If I was still in radio, that woulda been the FIRST thing I did. I'm just a traditionalist! :-)
I heard that. One time I thought maybe there was a crash at Sky Harbor because it went on so long. It was impressive.
I’m with you. But then I’m probably one of Strategerist’s
most . . . derided . . . FREEPERS.
LOL.
I think the Four Corners area might be wiser than many parts of Nevada. But wherever God says is the safest place! Especially in His arms!
Blessings,
Give or take — yea, about that.
There’s not much out there at this time of year. That prison is used as a base for prisoners who, by good behavior or their non-violent offense nature, are allowed out of prison to fight fires on prison crews. It is a fire-fighting base, really.
So there might have been some guys out there at this time of year, but not many. And the buildings are all single-story, government construction. Not shoddy stuff.
I worked the Saval Ranch North of Elko in 1979. I still go to the Rubies often......
.....But there’s nothin to see folks. Just stay on I-80. ,-)
I think I have yet to attend any kind of party here where somebody hasn't played "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band. ;-)
there’s been no increase in the rate of that, either.

Wrong.
It was predicted before we went into Iraq—especially the 2nd time—that lawlessness would greatly increast afterwards.
It has.
I suppose it depends on the measure involved whether it shows up or not . . .
However, the ‘crazier’ stuff has certainly increased. I think I’ll ask the detective in my class his perspective on it.
Crime rates tend to reflect the demographics of the numbers of higher crime tending age group individuals in the population—typically youth/young adults.
However, violence will be increasing more and more and impact all age groups and demographic groups—except probably, those walking closest to God.
The increase in Jihadi type violence would trash the above assertion wholesale—alone.
If you look at the google earth shot of this location it looks like someone has been setting charges in a matrix formation. Wonder what it is? Maybe prospecting?
My friends just phoned their son in Wells.
Chimney falling down, all tv’s tipped over, all walls cracked in their house.
....Bob
I’d love to see such trend charts, too.
I have a bunch of posta asking just that.
I certainly wholesale agree.
However, citing me to Strategerist for agreement is an exercise in . . . utter futility! LOL.
I think the mere mention of my screen name sets his teeth on edge. Just a conjecture, of course.
LOL.
Prayers for your friends and relatives.
An interesting graph.
However, what a tiny slice of the realities concerned!!!
Uhhhhh a question or 2 . . .
1. WHO is in charge of the forces resulting in that graph?
2. WHO will be in charge of that dramatically changing WHEN the switch is flipped toward reducing the world population toward 200 million via WW III?
3. WHO is in charge of fracturing our culture by setting various interest groups at each other’s throats the last 40+ years as planned decades ago. . . . again . . . toward creating sufficient chaos that citizens will clammor for a global government to make them “SAFE” and enslaved?
And if you are still in wholesale denial about those isues, I don’t think any amount of graphs showing the opposite of your assumptions and convictions would phase you in the least.
