Earthquake

We live beside Ft. Campbell so we can never tell if it's earthquake or training. Tennessee was hit pretty hard back in the 1800's by one of the worst quakes in the US . People in Washington DC felt it I have read. I sure hate to think that thing will be active again.

I was just watching the news and they said ya'll had 2 quakes. 1st one was 3.3 which can be scary but I imagine the one most of ya'll felt was the 8.8 according the earthquake center.

I think you made a typo there Doug. If it was an 8.8 we'd be dealing with a catastrophic event. The first event was a 4.4 followed by a 3.3

I believe you Eric. I was going by what the Fake News here in Nashvile said. It was not a typo error. It was a fake new error...........:shrug:

The New Madrid Fault is the one I’ve heard about all my life. They say West Tennessee, Kentucky and Southern Illinois will take a big hit.

Yep.  There’s a reason the University of Memphis has a pretty significant earthquake research center.

It was actually a series of 4 main quakes, with hundreds of aftershocks.  The "big 4" occurred between December 16, 1811 and February 7, 1812, with aftershocks large enough to be felt until 1817.  Numerous events have occurred since, with a few in the @6 range on the Richter Scale.  Since Memphis State installed monitoring equipment in 1974, over 4k quakes have been recorded.  The New Madrid Fault Zone remains as one of the most active in North America, with potential for massive destruction. I live in the area, which gets quakes that can be felt every couple of years, about once per decade one causes some sort of damage, albeit not very widespread or serious ...
