I hope yellowstone's super volcano isn't ready to blow. I'm in Colorado and we had several earthquakes here. Trinidad. I didn't feel anything though that I remember. We get thunder and other things so I may not have noticed the rumble.

Very interesting.....smokin

We've only had maybe 3 earthquakes that we could actually feel here in the past 40 years. Never had one more than 3.2 as far as I can remember. Moodus, CT is known for strange noises which are believed to be from low-level seismic activity. Most quakes here are 1.5 or less.

I was born and lived in DC till I was 13, still have a few friends in MD where I lived for years, a few in VA too. Happy to report they are all fine.

Crazy that there was a quake in DC though I am not as freaked as others. I mean I was in Japan for one of the most powerful quakes ever.

The reason people are so freaked out was because we never get earthquakes like that.

I've been in an earth quake. Most houses lost their chimmenys, and I lost my sensor bar laugh

It was such a strange feeling, I didn't know what was happening! laugh

yea I understand that. If it was in cali it would just be kind of more normal.

Yeah, the east coast is not like California when it comes to earthquakes.

I just heard from a friend that the Washington monument is now tilting a bit (somewhat like the tower of Pisa). Hopefully, it falls. :banana:

Looks like it was fox that said it might be tilting. Park service says it's not.

I'm going to guess you're joking about wanting it to fall.

*sigh* whoa

Geologically, the East Coast is locked too tight to have a major earthquake, unlike the West Coast which is part of the most active seismic region in the world, aka the Pacific Rim.

Make no doubt. Seismically speaking, the East Coast and the West Coast put pressure on each other. Once every 300 years or so, this pressure causes a massive quake in the Mississippi Valley where Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas all meet. The last one is believed to be the strongest ever felt in North America. Geological studies show that the area is prone to massive quakes on a predictable basis. The next one is due within the next 100 years (toward the latter end given current data).

FACT
it's 555 feet tall
the builders have followed sound engineering principles of 80% above ground and 20% below ground
if you add that together

555+20% = 666



the washington monument is a baal pillar. it is an abomination and offense to Creator YHVH.
