Actually, Columbia might be alright. We're 200 air miles northwest of the fault line and between us and it are the St Francois Mountains ... nothing spectacular in terms of height ... but they are a large solid plug of granite that should refract seismic waves to the east and west of us. It may knock out our natural gas and Mississippi River crossing points, but if our electric grid holds up, we'll be OK. St Louis and Memphis (particularly Memphis) will be toast. I've got food for a year and enough wood at the farm for a small power plant. Need to beef up my water supplies and get a small emergency wood stove. But I've got ammo and the squirrels and deer are plentiful. In a pinch, I could harvest the seeds from my 30 acres of tall native grass prairie. Kind of scrawny but they don't taste bad.  Squirrel ala Indian grass. Yum. yum. |

I will stick with my meat and taters
The heat from down south will cook them

For now, the secrets of the Benton Hills defy further explanation. "There are many lifetimes' worth of study here," says Hoffman. "It's had a long, complicated history. We've just sort of scratched the surface on it." Maybe some of the climate research dollars would be better spent on seismology. PS: Brave man to drive a Taurus up there?

I'm going back to the earthquake chart posted on the Adapt 2030 video. The earlier quake dates and magnitudes seem to be documented. I'm assuming they didn't make them up. Four for four is a pretty good score ... and we seem to be headed down compadres. Rock and roll.  |

Unknown force moving the Milky Way galaxy through the...... Universe.
This baycenter idea may be much more important than thought.
Trying to find link to paper on this. Saw it in a tweet tonight.

Unknown force moving the Milky Way galaxy through the...... Universe. This baycenter idea may be much more important than thought. Trying to find link to paper on this. Saw it in a tweet tonight. from www.nature.com/articles/s41550-016-0036"Abstract
Our Local Group of galaxies is moving with respect to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with a velocity 1 of V CMB = 631 ± 20 km s−1 and participates in a bulk flow that extends out to distances of ~20,000 km s−1 or more 2,3,4 . There has been an implicit assumption that overabundances of galaxies induce the Local Group motion 5,6,7 . Yet underdense regions push as much as overdensities attract 8 , but they are deficient in light and consequently difficult to chart. It was suggested a decade ago that an underdensity in the northern hemisphere roughly 15,000 km s−1 away contributes significantly to the observed flow 9 . We show here that repulsion from an underdensity is important and that the dominant influences causing the observed flow are a single attractor — associated with the Shapley concentration — and a single previously unidentified repeller, which contribute roughly equally to the CMB dipole. The bulk flow is closely anti-aligned with the repeller out to 16,000 ± 4,500 km s−1. This ‘dipole repeller’ is predicted to be associated with a void in the distribution of galaxies.

That's always been my opinion too .....  |

That's always been my opinion too ..... I must admit to finding underdensities repulsive  |

I may be dense but there is no need to mention it on the forum ........  |

Interesting comment on WUWT post... "Unless you think the climate controls tectonics, there is a litany of observational data that suggests a mantle convection flux/climate link."  |
