And the ground KEEPS ON SHAKING

Wow I just realized that I have'nt made a post on here for awhile now and figured that it was about time to do so, I think what drove me here today was something I found on you tube there was appearently a mag 3.4 quake in West Virginia that has mysteriously been removed from the usgs site"Not the first time this has happened by the way", and the guy I got it from was trying to find the coordinates for the quake and wondering if anybody had them. I went on to take a look and now am somewhat confused as to why that quake would be removed while a mag 3.9 quake in Virginia was not removed who can say stranger things have happened i would guess, makes me wonder if the 3.4 in West Virginia maybe was due to blasting underground in one of the many coal mines that litter that area and not a natural quake? I believe that the USGS does remove man made events from there site wishing only to show the natural events this is probably an instance of that occurence. However while on the site I noticed several small tremblers along the NMSZ which is nothing unusual and none of them were what I would consider to be extraordinary events, then I noticed that there was a mag 2.9 quake in sout eastern Maine when was the last time that Maine even had an earthquake? I think I will have to investigate that further and get back to you on it I do not recall having ever seen an earthquake up there in my nearly 50 myears on this earth. If you are interested in recent quakes which number into the 100's daily here in the United States or any other natural disasters here and abroad then log on to the site for the United States Geological Survey. they have a real time map for the U.S. and also for World Wide. Until the next time have a great day and a better tomorrow and always remember that "Chance Favors the Prepared Mind".
