Do you know what is H.A.A.R.P.? If not, i suggest you start doing some research.

  I am aware of HAARP. I am also aware that it makes no sense whatsoever for them to weather-nuke Japan. You'd think they would do Iran or Syria in first.

What's going on in Japan? It's sitting on tectonic plate boundaries. There are always a lot of quakes in Japan -- just people are noticing right now because of that major blast a few months ago.

I don't understand what people don't understand about "plate tectonics".... plates move, they have for millions of years, there are always earthquakes... hundreds and thousands per day, some too small to feel but still register and others larger.

Earthquakes happened before, they happen today, and they will happen in the future.... pretty simple to grasp

I'm getting pissed off at the media reporting this **** actually. Mag 5 quakes aren't killers. They produce structural damage and are sizable enough to make people wet themselves who are standing around epicenters. There is no reason for them to exploit these for news.

The Japanese know they are in a quake zone and they build their structures to withstand shakes. Even in a mag 9 - the worst of the damage was from the wall of water that buried their coastline.

Bravo - not ditching you for posting it....... Just telling it like it is. You don't need to worry about mag 5 quakes.

What I've been watching lately is a whole hella bunch of very light quakes - 1 - 3 mags. Too light to feel but happening with incredible frequency right now. That can go either way and is a bit disturbing. Either something big is under stress and about to let go somewhere soon or the earth is finishing a major bout of repositioning. I've noticed more deep quakes again. There's still a lot going on at the 10 and 35 km level that they were happening at en mass earlier this year - but there are more deeper ones going on again. I'm watching the Cascadia Zone - that one bothers me - a lot.

Thanks

That's a fault, not a plate boundary -- in other words instead of just shaking things to hell and back - one side can drop - a lot - real fast. Middle regions can collapse, too, but I've not done any real research on that fault so not sure if there is inhabited land between the sides of the fault.

Central Oregon has a fault that one side collapsed to the tune of 2,500 feet in a matter of seconds - it was a hella long time ago - but think of a fault now as populated as some of the areas are collapsing like that in a quake.

Lots and lots of people (Memphis for one), unlike the last time which was 1810-11.

That quake actually changed the course of the Mississippi and pushed part of Kentucky into Missouri. There's a strange geogreaphical quirk in that a part of Kentucky is pretty much surrounded by Missouri, and it was caused by the New Madrid.

Look at these two maps of Kentucky. Pay special attention to the little "dot" off the very SW tip of Ketucky. It looks like a little dot, but it's actually part of Kentucky that was moved into MO when the course of the Mississsippi changed during the New Madrid.

The zone had four of the largest North American earthquakes in recorded history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 8.0, all occurring within a three-month period between December 1811 and February 1812. Many of the published accounts describe the cumulative effects of all the earthquakes (known as the New Madrid Sequence); thus finding the individual effects of each quake can be difficult. Magnitude estimates and epicenters are based on interpretations of historical accounts and may vary.

I've heard estimates as high as 8.6 for the New Mardrid quakes.

Yep, when it happens, it won't be pretty.

A lot of people have never heard of the New Madrid quakes of the 19th century, but they were pretty amazing.

The big concern for a present-day quake is that people simpky aren't prepared in that region of the country because they don't have frequent quakes.

Building codes won't hold up to a "big one", and to my knowledge (and I admit I could be wrong here) it IS going to be a big one. My guess is that we would easily feel it here in SE Wisconsin.

A bit off topic, but another natural disaster a lot of people haven't heard about is the Peshtigo Fire. It was devastating, and may have received more press...had it not happened on the same day as the Chicago Fire.

How bad was the Peshtigo Fire? To date it has the highest death toll of any single fire in U.S. history.

THANKS! I was going to say something like THEY JUST HAD A BIG QUAKE, so I guess they are being given a reprieve. <7 in japan? From what I hear, that is NOTHING. There IS a reason why they are called tsunamis! That is a JAPANESE word! WHY? Because they tend to originate in JAPAN! They happen often enough that they are WELL KNOWN! It is said that when that major quake happened, the bay was like DRY! It was EMPTIED of all its water! The disaster did NOT happen because of the earthquake! It didn't even happen because of the water moved by the earthquake! It happened when that missing water, leaving an open pit, came rushing BACK!

Chew my head off. All I did was start a thread about an earthquake in Japan. No Haarp, No Fema camps, just a quake. Maybe I titled the thread incorrectly.

As long as there's someone willing to bring forth news, there will always be someone to belittle it with a "been there, done that" kind of remark.
As for the quake, first I heard of it. Been at work all day. Thanks for bringing it up -- I'm off to go check it out...

Thanks

No,no. Your title was fine.

I apologize bravo. My mistake. I shouldn't have mention it.

Forget it, ok?
