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".

Sometimes makes one wonder

I just was reading the story on the very recent and still continuing earthquakes in Oklahoma and had a thought occur to me, does it strike anyone else as odd that after the mag 5.6 quake and continuing after shocks they suddenly decide to test the National Emergency Alert System? Whats worse the test for the National System was basically an EPIC FAILURE as it did not function even close to the way it is supposed to, on that all I have to say is the system is maintained by FEMA and we all know how there track record looks. What strikes me as the strangest of all is they test this system after these quakes knowing full well how catastrophic a quake in this region can be, unlike the west coast where the ground is soft and absorbs the shocks here in this area the ground is very firm with a solid base of bedrock. This is why quakes of this magnitude are felt and cause damage hundreds of miles away, I have made previous posts about recent quakes in the New Madrid seismic zone and though I am not sure this is a proven fact I have read articles about activity on one fault triggering activity on other nearby faults. Given the close proximity of this recent mag 5.6 quake in Oklahoma to the always active New Madrid Zone that theory seems to have some merit to it suddenly, if a mag 5.6 quake does the amount of damage that was done recently what kind of damage would say a mag 7 quake do and how far reaching would the shockwaves be from that size of an event? Very few of the buildings in larger cities in this region are made to withstand Earthquakes it was'nt something they felt was needed in the design specs, even buildings in the cities in the New Madrid Zone are not earthquake ready and they should be given past history in that region. I look back at past events and wonder what if this 5.6 is a pre shock to something yet to come quakes in this region tend to come in waves and this could become a very bad thing. As usual I leave you to ponder these words and decide for yourself as for me to the people in the immediate vicinity of the epicenter I say via con dios Have a great day and a better tomorrow"Chance Favors the Prepared Mind."
