That’s a very good point.
Up here in Seattle we’re built on a lahar from Mt. Rainier. We can’t dig down more than an inch without hitting rock. We ought to be in for a wild ride when the big one hits!
Ain't that the truth. He sits and thinks deeply to himself: wwJSd? (what would John Stewart (have me) do?
Sand and silt? That is the definition of the Imperial Valley topography. An unseen consequence of our 7.2 on Easter and our hundreds of aftershocks measuring over 3.5 is liquefaction and undermining of roads and other structures. There are several roads out here that are still closed due to that very process. Your point is well taken.
Thank you.
Never, I thought I was having some sort of inner ear thing going on...till I looked at my light and saw it moving
>>>> "Jacobi and colleague John Fountain, along with a host of students, studied a small, remote portion of a long, flat plateau that stretches from Ohio to upstate New York and into Canada. From the ground, the plateau appears relatively featureless. Geologists call it pancake geology.
From space, though, the studied patch of the rocky region is revealed to be riddled with faults, and Jacobi says the finding may challenge assumptions of seismic safety for Cleveland, Buffalo and Toronto -- all of which sit on the same plateau." <<<<<
I’m in Lake County, to the northeast of the city headed toward Erie, PA. No aftershocks that I’ve felt so far.
I know the “experts” hereon have laughed at ‘quix’ as having any reality at all.
which is why parts of SF are so dangerous. they’ve built houses on landfill and it liquifies, scary
Let’s get Tshirts printed. “I survived the Michigan Earthquake 2010”
A prof of mine at college in Buffalo told us that there’s a major fault line running through Lake Erie near Buffalo.
My mistake. We’re on the same page. Cheers
I didn’t feel a thing here in northern Vermont.
:-( Everyone was all excited this morning about the “bad storms” coming through today and they missed us. That’s ok. We’ve had enough rain - don’t need anymore ^*%^&*$%@ mosquitoes!
The only one I remember clearly was the Blue Mountain Lake one.
We felt it here in Aylmer Quebec!
At first I thought it was construction noise, then the floor started to move!
This is no doubt a dumb question, but I admit I’m too dumb to understand Obama, so here goes: Does the oil act as a lubricant to the faults and would a leak this size affect them
Amen to that! They are BITING this year, not stinging. Nasty little buggers. Going outside without insect repellent is torture.
The quake was felt in Portland Maine as well.
An hour north of pittsburgh...nothing here.
