Alabama EQs continue. 159 quakes NW of Birmingham starting 4/20/2012. Update 12/21

Your welcome ^_^. Thank you for getting the heads up on the quakes out.

There's about 3 more ppl from AL I haven't seen post here on here yet, so I assume they'll be in later on in the day.

That site is a search using your zipcode, so you can see the nearest seismic station near you.

We stopped at DeSoto Caverns back in Dec. (S of B'ham and N of Talladega) We were trveling thru the area. In the middle of the tour, I looked at my family and said, "Ya know...this would be a terrible time for an earthquake!" Yeah, morbid thought...I know! Anyway, if you look around the cavern, you can see evidence of some pretty intense quakes. Cool stuff!!!

There's one station in Ft. Payne, AL on this CERI site.

That's useful. Thanks Oz.

I am not sure if it is just shakes due to the big stuff going on around the globe or an event of it's own starting. Maybe a combo of both? I have got to stop watching and get on with life!

Camped there with the Scouts a long time ago.

AL gets hit from time to time with 'em. Few and far between fortunately, but when the big ones come they are devastating.

Here's the fault that bisects the state.

Thanks.....Roll Tide

ive found the pickwick lake seismograph is very sensitive to quakes around the southeast. i always check this one if anything happens around the area.

Never felt any here on the AL Gulf Coast, but more than enough when I lived in San Francisco. Kept bag ready to head into the hills of Marin Co. if big one hit.

there was a 3.5 quake down your direction not all that long ago. oh yes, here it is.

Soooo whats the deal with these small alabama quakes? Are you thinking these are a precursor to a much larger event? Or what? Because otherwise....so what if theres quakes there? WHATS THE BIG DEAL?

Oh, we're everywhere, we're everywhere!

Thanks for this info and please keep an eye on the situation.

well i dont know but it could be a fracking situation. the USGS isnt listing any of these quakes, plus the area of activity is a big natural gas producing area. YES, i think we will see more activity and larger quakes down the road.

had a new one 5/1/12 at 2129UTC 2.6 this time.
