Did you feel it?

So I have been watching this earth quake site. And there is this place by Japan that has set a record of sorts, not a good one: http://www.allvoices.com/contribute...-large-earthquakes-december-2010-wwii-history. It really does seem we are living in an amazing time. Shared information, almost real time makes events like this kind of creepy. I live in the midwest and there is some sort of practice earthquake for a more prepared future? Too bad I do know a little about construction and our area, this is not L.A.! But the drill is for a very large area, I hope they work better in theory than the nuclear attack drills. http://www.shakeout.org/. Hang on tight. Vintage Bob

Yep, just wait, when the New Madrid fault decides to let loose the Midwest will be devastated. From Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana will all be affected by it.

I remember when I was still a youngin' and it let loose a couple times when I still lived in Indiana. That is one of the creepiest feelings, watching houses and trees sway like that, I have ever felt in my life!

If it's not over a 6, we don't even get out of bed. ;)

But seriously now, things are really ramping up out here in shakeyville. The entire dynamic has changed since the big quake South of the Mexican border a few months ago. Watching the quakes moving North since that quake has many people in Cali worried that the so-called "Big One" is not far off.

The devastation could be much worse in the mid-west since many of the buildings there are made of brick and stone. Most of the brick buildings here in California shook to the ground many years ago.

It doesn't matter if you live on the New Madrid fault or the San Andreas, it's a good idea to have some food and emergency supplies stored. Ya never know. :yikes:

I seen some discussion about that Chilean quake, it moved the north pole 3 inches, or feet? The wobble is more than normal? Or a big shift is winding up. All that movement around Bonin, and not one big wave. The Sumatra quake that caused all that devastation was not that much bigger than their first one that started a few days ago. All the way up into the Aleutians, and a few Russian volcanoes! Nice area, cheap beach property?http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/index_eng.php

Had one this morning just befor 8. Center was near Kokomo, Indiana. 3.8 on the scale. I could just barely feel it, and it did rattle the windows.

I'm just waiting for the top to blow off of Yellowstone....

The magnetic poles are always on the move.. As of late the magnetic north pole is moving from Canada toward Siberia at a pretty good clip.. Something like 55 miles a year.

Strange stuff.
