Goodness me :/ is there a lot of extra shaking going on at the moment, or is it because we now have this thread to focus our attention on it a bit more? Glad to hear that building reg's offer you some protection Zoom, I must say. Hope everyone is OK?? Most defintely second that Lynn! |

I definitely do not want to be in downtown Chicago when New Madrid lets go. I don't even want to be at work, and it's only a two-story building. I don't think the seismic standards are as good here as on the west coast. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Yeah, but I still need 3 Mame Tanks savers to isolate the aquarium from the floor and I have no idea on how to get these 'tank savers'. The manufacturers website is in Japanese. As the house still will be shaken, it's just secured to the ground better, as that is all that the foundation system does. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Thanks to this thread I've been checking everyday on the USGS site as I live in the ring of fire. Just felt my house shake less than an hour ago from the 6.7 in Port Hardy, British Columbia, so yes, I do feel a little bit anxious. Was it as bad as the last one? I didn't feel anything here.

It was a bit stronger than the last one but I felt the last one more. Although it was felt in Vancouver as well but I don't think there was any damage anywhere. Hardly anyone felt it here, I don't know if the fact that my house shakes is a good sign or a bad sign.. |

Some types of ground will shake more than other types, We had an earthquake roll thru here not to long ago and even though I felt it and saw the water in Graces water jug slosh some, no other neighbor felt it.

Back about 5 years ago I did a 1 1/2 years of data from the USGS on A graph each day trying to find a pattern, well I have to say it's totally random. Just areas tend to have more than others because ground movment. Yellowstone if it goes? no one is safe anywhere, within a week the whole upper half of the world would be covered with ash.

When I was a teen, I figured out after the fact that I was nearly over the epicenter of a 5 richter earthquake and did not notice it at all. I was in a jeep on an only moderately bad dirt road pounding along at a speed I really should not have been going, and I was spending most of the time a few inches above the road anyway...

Well the shocks on the car will suck up all movement unless it's side to side. One woman said one time she had dropped her kids off at school and noticed her kids started walking funny. she couldn't feel a thing Cheers everybody Life is short so don't sip Beer speaks, people mumble |

We've just had a volcano to the north of Darwin blow its stack which has shut down air traffic at Darwin and stranded a lot of people on holidays on the northern and north western corridors. It's expected that this will also shut down Alice Springs' airspace soon and there's also the possibility of it effecting eastern airspace if it doesn't dissipate before drifting eastwards. http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/darwin-airport-shuts-and-flight-chaos-across-australia-feared-as-indonesias-sangeang-api-volcano-spews-ash-into-sky/story-fnizu68q-1226938123744 Cheers. |

Volcanic Ash is silica, combined with moisture and you get cement, some of the people at Pompeii had this happen to their lungs. But then some only died of that or from noxious gases, others from when the ash column collapsed and became a deadly pyroclastic flow, that will not be stopped by water, only distance will stop such a flow.

Well if it does drift eastward Vic I'll get to see the effect on the sky here. Cheers. |
