Yeah, big mean sumbitch, The worst part of it is 40 minutes west of Memphis near Jonesboro, AR. It's supposed to be capable of making the farts from Cali look like a mosquito bite. I used to live there. Last time it went off around the turn of the century (1899-1900) the Mississippi flowed backwards for 3 days.

As a former member of the California Shake & Bake Crowd....I can attest that a 3.0 on the Richter Scale is NOTHING! It wouldn't even shake the dingle balls off of a goat's ass.
I've been in BAD quakes and anything below a 5.0 is pretty much totally ignored.

New Madrid The MS river flowed backwards to fill the shallow depression now known as reelfoot lake. Neat place, actually.

It's the New Madrid fault.
One of these days the whole east coast is going to fall off into the Atlantic. |

If it was just a 3.0, more than likely this earthquake was preceded by "here, hold my beer and watch this".....

A 3.0 is very minor. I am a member of the 8.2 crowd, Guam 1983.

"Joel writes: When I lived along the Mississippi, I heard of a time and an event which caused the river to flow backwards for several days. Can you elaborate on this, please? Joel, you're asking about the New Madrid Earthquake in 1811-12. It was strong enough to ring church bells in Boston, and the few inhabitants of New Madrid and Caruthersville, Missouri, reported that the earth rolled in waves like the sea and the river flowed upstream. In fact, boats were found on the river banks forty miles upstream of where they had been moored. Most likely the river flowed north for a short time as it rushed to fill a depression that formed to the east of the Mississippi that was nearly 100 miles long, six miles wide and 10 to 50 feet deep. Today Reelfoot lake is located in the lowest portion of this depression. St. Francis Lake in Arkansas was also formed by the New Madrid Earthquake. Visitors will enjoy great crappie fishing and an interesting visitor center at Reelfoot Lake State Park in NW Tennessee. The state park resort there is on stilts over the water. Enjoy a nice boardwalk among the cyprus trees near the Visitor Center. Campsites & RV facilities across the street from the resort. (Phone 901-253-7756, Tiptonville, TN). You'll find more information in Volume 3 of Discover! America's Great River Road." |

So basically what you are saying is a bunch of fat women that just came back from appearing on the Jerry Springer show jumped off the plane together so see if they could set off the Earthquake machine? Right?

The entire gulf coast is lined with listric faults. They really aren't a problem since they're able to slip fairly easily (meaning they move, but don't create large shocks) |

Doesn't a sonic boom register more than a 3.0? I am well aware they are not supersonic but thier is a shitty pawnshop in Bossier that falls directly in the path of Barksdale AFB's main runway, when the
B-52s takeoff it shakes. My instructor almost got a dojo accross the street from it apparently their are restrictions due to glidepath and the buildings beneath sustain damage. |

Does anyone remember when that genius Dr. Iben Browning predicted that an earthquake at the New Madrid fault line would occur and devastate the area? His prediction was for Dec. 3, 1990. The magnitude, time and everything could be deciphered by using the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0:
12 was for the month of December 3 meant that it was to happen on the third day 4,5 & 6 meant that it would occur at 4:56 (never decided if they meant AM or PM) 7 & 8 meant that it would be a 7.8 on the Richter scale 9 & 0 meant the year 1990 Obviously it did not happen and Iben Browning is dead IIRC. |
