In sum - the next earthquake might occur someplace else from where it happened before.

Brilliant!!

Besides shipping as many jobs as we can overseas to China, we apparently need to import Chinese here because we just don’t
have any native Americans that are experts in the field of earthquake geology.... At least none that MU could find.

Sad.

When the Yellowstone Caldera blows, it will take all the pressure off the NMF.

No problem.

Except I’ll be burial under a few feet of ash.

On the bright side, I will save on funeral costs.

earthquakes tend to move among fault systems

It's when they start operating outside the lines that you really gotta worry.

This December marks the bicentennial of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12, which are the biggest earthquakes known to have occurred in the central U.S.

Ah yes. I remember that well.

I was traveling along the Mississippi in my Pie Wagon when it hit. After it was over I found myself in Kansas.

Luckily, there was a Saloon across the road.

channeling WC Fields ;-)
