1812 New Madrid earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The future location of Memphis, Tennessee experienced level IX shaking on the Mercalli intensity scale.

Recurrence potential
In a report filed in November 2008, The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that a serious earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone could result in "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States," further predicting "widespread and catastrophic" damage across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and particularly Tennessee, where a 7.7 magnitude quake or greater would cause damage to tens of thousands of structures affecting water distribution, transportation systems, and other vital infrastructure.[18]
The potential for the recurrence of large earthquakes and their impact today on densely populated cities in and around the seismic zone has prompted research devoted to understanding in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. By studying evidence of past quakes and closely monitoring ground motion and current earthquake activity, scientists attempt to understand their causes and recurrence intervals.
The lack of apparent land movement along the New Madrid fault system has long puzzled scientists. In 2009 two studies based on eight years of GPS measurements indicated that the faults were moving at no more than 0.2 millimeters (0.0079 in) a year.[19] This contrasts to the rate of slippage on the San Andreas Fault which averages up to 37 mm (1.5 in) a year across California.[20]

hummm... i forgot to look at the supermoon.

been monitoring my droid app called Latest Quakes and the quakes have started away from japan region again (afganistan, iraq, chile, etc). still seeing a lot of aftershocks from japan region though, as expected.

We have been talking about a west coast earthquake since I was a baby.

New 6.8 magnitude quake in Myanmar...

I bet an earthquake would be good for our economy. :stirthepot:

I wonder if any nations would send money OUR way if we got a quake. Anyway I think yesterday there was a 4.7 in the california gulf (closer to mexico)

No one else cares about us. They would probably have parades. On the bright side, after no one helped us, at least we would have an excuse not to help them.
