Apples and oranges. You're talking about 2 distinct different things.

Sand boils on levees often occur during floods and people are sent out as a precautionary measure to keep and eye out for them so they can be repaired and maintain the integrity of the levee.

Liquification due to ground shaking is a whole other thing.
 Quoting: izezi


A sand boil is sand and water that come out onto the ground surface during an earthquake as a result of liquefaction at shallow depth.

That's not to say these sand boils near the Mississippi just go with the territory.

your kidding right?
 Quoting: He Might Be Right?


No, I was quoting what OP is referring to from the USGS site.
And then making a point that boils "just go with the territory" near the
Mississippi. Pointing out that there is a difference.

Sometimes things just don't come across clear on the internet.
