Felt like a 3.8 or so. Came in from the east. Hope this isn't a prelude to anything worse!

Hopefully that's the extent of it.

Looks like it was a 4.2 in the Bay.

Get those here all the time, due to proximity to the New Madrid Fault, which will produce The Big One in a few years, according to the experts.

Darn it! I was logged out, shut down and in bed when this happened, but as I have a dread of being buried in rubble and burned to death I can't get back to sleep!

At times like these just think of Betty. She had no apprehensions about being buried by Rubble.

Hopefully no aftershocks.

Rest, my friend.

Thanks Mak. Okay one more time to bed.

Oh geez, it's been "a few years" for decades. Of course you gotta have respect for a fault line that can produce an earthquake in Tennessee that'll ring church bells in Boston, Mass. and permanently change the path of the Mississippi River.

Biggest - earthquake - ever (in the contiguous US, sorry CA, you get the most, we get the biggest. )
New Madrid Fault

I know. But it seems we're overdue.

Meanwhile it's interesting to visit the New Madrid area and see Reelfoot, etc, and all the other post-quake artifacts.

I don't trust Crowley's Ridge. Prime suspect to me.

But after exploring where the mighty Mississip used to run, one can relax and enjoy a great meal (and throwed rolls) at Lambert's.

Then what a relief it is when traveling north, to finally go up Crowley's Ridge on I55 into the Missouri eastern Ozark up-country.

As it is part of an ATM idea I can't elaborate why I expected a reaction in this area

Not to be cynical but we're so overdue for all sorts of catastrophes: super-large meteor strike, Yellowstone volcanic explosion, the "Big One" either in CA and/or New Madrid, an ice age, etc.

But then that means eventually something should happen.

Not to dis you, I'm expecting it too, its just that "we're overdue" in my opinion is starting to get a bit overused.

No, you just want to imply that you did expect a reaction in this area probably because of particular aspects of completely unproven "hyper dimensional design". Stop it. This is not the place to promote your ATM beliefs. You know where that belongs. You're not ignorant.

Just to clear one on the list, I don't think Yellowstone should be on it. They've been sending friendly reminders, but no overdue notices.

As near as I can tell, the linear interpolation of dates (I know) doesn't fall until after the next ice age.

Good point. I was working off the memory of the 7" rapid rise the caldera floor did for 2004 to 2006 leading some to claim it was imminent.

I believe you can add Mount Rainier to the "overdue" list--as, apparently, is a giant, catastrophic slip of the faultline offshore. Seattle, which gets very few earthquakes by my standards (I grew up in LA), is overdue for quite a lot. I'm still not moving; where would I go?

No this has nothing to do with HDDesign, it has everything to do with an imbalance of mass in the solid outer crust, which makes the rift Valley and the US East coast area 'cooperative areas' in the 'reballancing efforts' of the solid outer crust due to the centrifugal forces of a rotating sphere.

This weeks quakes in the Rift valley in combination with the tremors in Jan Mayen region made me expect a reaction at the east coast. Although maybe atm, it has nothing to do with the HDDesign research

Take it to ATM. This is not the ATM forum. This is still not the place to promote your ATM beliefs.

No, better, take it to some geology forum. Thanks.

So, anyway... I slept through the 4.2. (T-shirt slogan?)

It was fairly unfelt in my area according to the USGS shake map.

I awoke, normally, about a half-hour after. Sorry I missed it. I like earthquakes -- at least the ones that don't kill.

That's pretty small for around here. But, I heard it reported on the national news services, so I had to dash off email to the folks back east assuring them I was well. I wonder if there's a definite Richter-scale cut-off for making it into national broadcasts. Nah, it probably just depends on what other news is happening.

Richter scale is a more or less measure of absolute magnitude, at the source, so its effects diminish with distance and other factors. A 4.2 can feel like a 3.8, or if you're right on top of it, it can "feel" like a 7.0. So, the damage depends upon what's nearby, and that determines some of the publicity too.

The Mercalli Scale is an attempt to measure earthquake "feel".

Am I to guess that Dutch was already on Double Secret Probation?

'Cause it seems a little harsh him getting a weeks banning for just what's in this thread.
