Shameless self-bump to make sure any interested person saw this.

Is God setting up a tsunami to finish off New Orleans?

How could that be the New Madrid fault. The NM is in TN, MO, and Ark.

I think the New Madrid fault is right here in Illinois extending down into Mo. and the Ozarks.

Unusual in that the time shows this happened last night, but the report didn't show up on the USGS site till this afternoon.

Perhaps NO isn't out of the proverbial woods yet.

The New Madrid Seismic zone lies within the central Mississippi Valley, extending from northeast Arkansas, through southeast Missouri, western Tennessee, western Kentucky to southern Illinois.

"How could that be"

A geologist buddy years ago told me that there may be a tie in with the Mississippi River Delta and it's accumulating weight. It's still an unknown.

I was in a 5.3 on Oahu once. Felt like the effect of some kind of construction blasting down the street. IOW, 5.3 is something you can feel but it won't knock your dishes off your shelves.

Was the "swimmer" down there? Maybe he did a belly flop!

Maybe this wouldn't have happened if New Orleans were still a "chocolate city"

Come on, do what you did
Roll me under New Madrid
Shake my baby and please bring her back
'Cause death won't even be still
Caroms over the landfill
Buries us all in its broken back
