Earthquakes in Va. and Colo., Calif. today 3.6

[Mjolnir]

The earth is constantly shifting. Lets not look for fairies in the garden.

However, I would not choose to live on a fault line if I were equally attracted to another locale.

You got that right.

I don't know if it's considered a fault line, but I lived in the condos corner Stumberg and Jeff Hwy. The two sides of that gradient move independently. I noticed fissures in the bricks that enlarged in the several years I was there. The old Woodlawn High was several miles to the east along that same gradient and it had structural problems which prompted the school board to build a new facility.

AAMF, an old flame lived on Richland Circle not too far off of Acadian and her house shifted over time.

It's more active than you would think.

Someone (Obama possibly) has mentioned it was "Bush's Fault"

 

[TheMaddMan]

I just learned that they BHO stated it was caused by "Bush's Fault", an old fault line he can blame everything on.

Saw that on Facebook and quite literally LOL'd.

Haha that's great, I just posted it on my wall.

Put on your tin foil hats to protect from falling debris.

No big deal on either. Both are on older, deepseated fault planes. These older faults periodically have movement along them (better lots of smaller ones over time than one big one.)

BTW, the Mississippi River runs in an ancient, failed rift valley. That's why the Mississippi is so persistent over geological time. We get small earthquakes anywhere within the Mississippi valley all the time.

Oh, I forgot to mention. The end might be nigh.

You only hope Jim... Just remember:

When in danger
Or in doubt
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.

It works well for the media.
