No, only New Orleans and Thailand.
Of course, but we'll never hear how fracking has led to lower CO2 emissions.
Where the heck is that from?
The amazing thing about New Madrid is that it went on for many many months.
It stops at OKC, before Norman.
So good job, Boomer Bob Stoops.
The other amazing thing is they pronounce it New MAD-rid.
Don’t you know that is how they pronounce it in Spain?
Oh yea, I forgot about him.
About those quakes, not exactly worth getting shook up about. Anything tip over? Did the water in the pool start sloshing out? Were your windows shaking up a racket like someone was pounding on them? Did any freeway overpasses come down?
New Spain Oklahoma?
Madrid, Spain. Muh-drid.
Three Dog Night - grossly underrated.

that is a good site
There are multiple potential causes of all of these quakes:
1. Earth’s core shifting, possibly pole reversal, no, it won’t cause life on Earth to mutate horribly
2. Fracking for local quakes, as liquids are pumped in and then gas comes out
3. Pumping out all the ground water with accelerated demand with industrialization and the multi-year drought across the US, with the Ogalla and other aquifers drying out. The ground settles to fill in the displaced water, and we get earthquakes.
4. There are lots of major fault zones that haven’t blow in the central US. These tremors might be a precursor of a repeat of the New Madrid quake or something similar.
they were rated high enough in their day. Got lot's of airplay, and were on a lot of jukeboxes.
But I still like them...along with a wide ranging variety of other music.
I couldn't help but post a link to that one, though.
But I don’t thing they got sufficient
R..s..p..e..c..um ah ...t.
