Say what, and slowed the day down a couple of milliseconds.<br />Wierd that one event can can actually make any difference.drlobojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167065726194359838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-53998431362907246902010-02-27T17:31:45.271-08:002010-02-27T17:31:45.271-08:00Greetings brother Pecheur.

Helen off of my car in OKC.<br /><br />New Madrid was an example of earthquake location mattering more than size like the Haiti quake was as well. New Madrid liquefacted the natural levees along the Mississippi River and caused liquefaction subsidence of the area that became Reelfoot lake thus the flow of the river was reversed below Reelfoot in order to fill the new basin with water.<br /><br />Solid ground, no such thing.drlobojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167065726194359838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-45690091124425534272010-02-27T16:59:52.534-08:002010-02-27T16:59:52.534-08:00Never felt the St. Helens 5.1 quake, although we s...Never felt the St. Helens 5.1 quake, although we swept up ash for a couple weeks. Then...<br />We were a couple hundred miles from the 6.9 Richter Borah Peak<br />(1983) quake. I was up early and sitting in a folding chair in our unfinished basement watching the TV. Coffee began sloshing out each side of my cup and I almost fell off my chair. Thought it was early onset Alzheimers until the news came an hour later. Kids woke up terrified; wife slept through the whole thing. Not sure how many Joules, but my jowls were dripping coffee.....that logarithmic scale is demonstrated by the estimated<br />8R of the New Madrid quake, which had the Missippi running backwards in places. Gimme ground, solid ground!BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-1366351154239701852010-02-27T13:01:51.673-08:002010-02-27T13:01:51.673-08:00I did not know this.
