Better keep your fingers crossed and stay out of public buildings. OR ..... you could migrate but make sure to pack insect repellent. Iris - Australian Region

Wave of seismic activity seems to be continuing at the rate of a couple(?) per week. No hard stats, but there seems to be another sizeable one reported every couple of days or so?

Wave of seismic activity seems to be continuing at the rate of a couple(?) per week. No hard stats, but there seems to be another sizeable one reported every couple of days or so? It is almost as if there are changing stresses on the Earth thanks to alterations in the position of the barycenter. How would you notice such changes - perhaps in the Length of Day (LOD) measurements but they are static aren't they? Well actually not .... tallbloke.wordpress.com/2016/02/02/r-j-salvador-2016-prediction-for-changes-in-earths-length-of-day-lod/Amazing the amount of change. Think of the momentum/inertia impact of increasing and decreasing rotation rates for an entire planet. Think of the slopping of the oceans and the effect on the MOC added to the effect of the tides if they act together or contrary to each other. Then think of the impact on the shallow crust of such forces. It surprises me that there is such push back against the impact of the 'wobble' of the planet as it would explain a lot.

Hmmm. St. Helens. I remember the last big one.

yeah it's the problem with coronal holes .. the less active the sun is the more of them there is .. and they are the active effect on the earth .. theres going to be a few mag 8-9 over the next few yrs ..interesting times ..
pot luck where they hit depends on if your facing the sun .. but we have seen the area around java increase and s/a

One would think the crust would be relaxed by now.

One would think the crust would be relaxed by now. Europe must be moving closer to Russia.

Don't the designers of those pipelines take any note of faults that they are crossing? It would seem a sensible precaution to take.

Momentarily, Missouri, I thought you had fled to Iberia. In Japan, the seismic problem was solved by building with paper. Could pipeline technology be adapted?

It's a nice, straight shot from Texas to the east side of the Mississippi River and the great Mid-western gas markets. Damn the torpedoes! I'm checking to see who Ameren gets its gas from.

An earthquake in the middle of the country, along the precarious New Madrid fault, could have enormous fiscal and energy consequences. "Virtually every natural gas pipeline in the nation is built over that fault," Geller says. "You'll see the explosion reflected off the moon."
