Does this have anything to do with the hypthesis that the East Coast may become a subduction zone in a million years or so?

Out here in CA, a 3.8 isn't even worth getting out of bed over. Though I bet there'd be people excited if you had perfect tubes on the Great Salt Lake, but why? they have good ones all the time off Hawaii.

There was a 5 at Anaktuvuk Pass last week. Was there a thread? Don't think so.

The East Coast was already a subduction zone. That's why we have all those folded rock formations in our old worn down mountains. Central New Jersey is actually a failed rift valley. The Atlantic Ocean originally started to form between the Watchung Mountains and the Atlantic Highlands. It expanded a little, the land collapsed, and then it stopped and filled in with dust. That's why there is shale and clay all over Central NJ. And it is mighty boring shale, too, because the rift valley was a desert at the time. I woundn't mind having to hack through shale to plant trees if I could at least get a few need fossils out of the effort

I wonder when the libs will blame this on GWB?
I mean, everything else is his fault. Why not an earthquake?
To: Pyro7480
Subduction zone? Here's more possibilities...

Just as the planet Mars makes its closest approach to Earth in more than a century, we have this major vibration in NJ. Did anyone get a news report from Grover's Mill??
