There was a story posted here about two or three weeks ago that stated Geologists had declared the New Madrid fault inactive and unlikely to cause an earthquake......
Not very likely. It still produces numerous quakes a year, just small ones. Its big quakes are few and far between.
Thus, I am not inclined to believe that nonsense.
At the same time, I am not going to be up at night....a major quake could come 500 years from now or something.
Exactly! Just another reason to spend government (our tax) money. Why not a big hurricane preparation in Wyoming? Oh yeah, I forgot, that huge volcano is going to blow up sometime in the next 50,0000 years.
Ben Bernanke said the recession was over, too.
I see no reasonable justification in fact for either assertion.
I missed that one. I dont know if we know enough about how the earth moves around to make such a declaration. But, I only spent four semesters with Fossil Fred, so I will bow to their expertise.
