[quote:shovelbum:MV80NTQ4MTM4XzgyODkyNjc1XzNCNDdDNDhE] Many of you know this, but quakes in the Central and Eastern US are an order of magnitude worse than in most quake prone areas. A 7 magnitude is akin to an 8 in other places in some ways. The deep rock strata is unbroken and transmits seismic waves very well. Strong waves can travel 10 to 20 times farther than in California for example. Also the waves are transmitted directionally extending NNE and SSW (on the New Madrid fault). The major destruction zone extends right down to Little Rock. St Louis will experience ground liquefaction as will many areas in the delta and river valley. Quakes are more violent than many realize. The ground can move laterally 6 feet many times per second. It can make waves like in the ocean with swells several feet high. During the New Madrid quakes of 1811/12 residents reported thousands of fissures opening up that were yards wide and hundreds to thousands of feet long. [/quote]

Dutch just put out a new video about this. Anyone else in the area experiencing it? Or odd animal behavior?
