20 seconds early warning gets you outside or under something safer than walking around while the roof caves in on you.

It's about that 20 seconds.

Did you think earthquakes are measley little things or something?

They will have an idea of what they want to place in the hole. However they will run logs (electronic measuring devices) in the hole first to determine where they want to place the instruments. What they find out relative to the type formation, porosity and a whole host of other things will determine exactly what type of instrumentation and where it will be placed in the bore hole. Dog Gone knows what he is talking about.

No doubt he knows what he's talking about, but that's not what he said.

Instead, he peddled the pap in the MSM piece to the effect these guys had no plan.

We don't need to go to FR to hear stupidity from the MSM.

What he should have added was what the scientists had planned to do and how that plan would procede (if he's a great borehole scientist as he claimed).

Right now he's just another oil guy upset over what he sees as a dry hole! World's full of 'em.

Shoot. . it looks like Madrid has Tennessee about ready to get cut out on each side (west and east) and sunk in the big old hidey hole in the globe. I'm right in the middle of it.

Not sure, I was trying to find out more on the Reelfoot Rift (being in Nashville, I'm close enough that damage would occur here - the "red" zone), but I can't seem to find any definitive depth info.

hmm, that's a bit deeper than the bedrock on your place, isn't it? :-)

Average depth of the earth's crust is about 30 miles.

You've refused to answer my question about whether Science Daily is the MSM, or provide me a link to the source that shows where these folks using your tax money have a clue.

But you continue to trash me.

I don't know what your problem is, but at least argue with some facts.

Just another boring thread?

Is there a old Madrid Seismic Zone?

Duh, I have lived my entire life in California. Yeah, and I know that basically 20 seconds gives you about enough times to get down and pray, if you are so inclined.

Millions of dollars spent does not guarantee safety. Even new safety requirements can't guarantee safety.

In the end, folks, we are all gonna die! Each and every one of us.

Did you say (in your very first post: "Either this is bad reporting or these scientists are idiots. Spending our tax money without a plan. Ready, Shoot, ummmm Aim.?

All I've done is respond to your challenge ~ it's pretty obvious that the scientists have had a "plan" since long before the drill went in the ground.

Whether or not that UK periodical is MSM or not, you are the fellow who planted the seeds of doubt about the accuracy of the story. The rest of us were quite willing to play along with you on that, but when you turned around and challenged us with your credentials, it was time to throw up your basic flame thrower defense.

Let me put it this way, I now doubt the utility of your initial comment/question. It is, in fact, contrary to what I've read in all the periodicals I named.

I think the building codes in CA require that the furthest exit be within half a minute. Pile 20 seconds advance warning on top of that and virtually everyone can be out of almost all one story and many two story buildings.

It's the same in the Midwest except they live in many more buildings not constructed to the CA earthquake mitigation standards.

Virtually no one gets killed by an earthquake out in the open. They do get killed by falling roofs.
