What year was the Narrows quake
1987 this time of the year.
Sorry, it is 2 am, and I am 73. Time for bed. Caracas in 1812. Then again maybe Chavez will catch what he has coming.
Sorry, past my bedtime, meant 1812.
Thanks. Missed that one.
“The Narrows quake emptied my cousins pool and pretty much destroyed everything in their home.”
Funny you should mention that, I know of the same thing happening due to the Sylmar quake.
A family in the Fullerton hills (what would that be, 40 miles from Sylmar?). Their daughter had just walked into the kitchen going past the sliding glass doors that led to the pool.
The quake hit and all of the water in the pool lifted out and headed straight for the sliding glass doors.
It blasted through them like a tsunami and glass, water, furniture and everything else roared through the house.
Made a hell of a mess. When they repaired the house they had the pool removed.
I think the ground around New Madrid stores more energy than what we do in California.
So while we have more earthquakes, you will have bigger ones.
After my husband and I moved to Memphis, Tn., my mother who was still in SoCal was scared to death that we were going to b e hit b y a tornado, not realizing that Memphis is dead center on the New Madrid fault.
“My family moved to Yorba Linda.”
Brush fires. Earthquakes. All they need is a good mudslide or two courtesy of el nino.
Felt this one in OK, live in Canadian county. Thought it was a big gust of wind, windows shaking, ceiling fan creaking. Thought it strange for a wind gust. Then I thought Earthquake, but thought it was my imagination.
Premonitions or typos?
These are really shallow quakes, only about 3 or 4 miles deep. Makes’em that much closer to home. So to speak.
Is it or isn’t it New Madrid related. I read that it is an unrelated set of faults but then this is from wiki:
“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, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, 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.[22] The earthquake is expected to also result in many thousands of fatalities, with more than 4,000 of the fatalities expected in Memphis alone.”

This list of states matches the list shown on Drudge, I think
It’s Ronald Reagan’s fault. He was there once just a short distance from St. Gregory’s. And there is always the old standby curse of the Shawnee Chief Cornstalk for an explanation—one of my distant relatives survived one of his documented massacres.
Hmmm, near Prague. Ah so close to “plague”. You know how those l’s and r’s can get jumbred up.
Only those with no fracing sense about fracing would make such a comment.
Are you a time traveler?
“Someone was blaming it on fracking for oil.”
Only those with no fracing sense about fracing would make such a comment.
It was a fracing liberal. No fracing sense.
