Indonesian earthquake broke a geologic speed limit

"Geology seemed to impose the speed limit: The rupture point chews up energy as it pulverizes rock, and seismologists thought a supershear rupture would consume too much energy to be sustained.

Whereas most earthquakes are content to obey this speed limit, scientists have clocked a handful that broke the supershear barrier, beginning with two 1999 earthquakes in Turkey. Meng says the ground shaking is generally much stronger in these cases. That’s because, as the rupture gathers speed, the earthquake shear waves begin to overlap, increasing in strength like overlapping waves in the ocean.

These quakes all seemed to take place on long, linear, and smooth strike-slip faults—geological runways where the sliding allows the rupture to gather speed and leap past the forbidden zone. But the Palu quake broke that rule"

Very interest

San Francisco residents deserve equal fire protection after a major earthquake hits

"We know there will be fires after the Big One — the major earthquake experts predict will hit the Bay Area sometime in the next 30 years. But decisions made by city leaders have left large parts of San Francisco poorly protected against the fires that could break out once shaking stops.

After a post-earthquake fire destroyed large portions of The City in 1906, officials built a network of reinforced pipes dedicated to providing high-pressure, high-volume, water to firefighters. The system, constructed in 1913, uses non-potable water to protect the northeastern and central sections of The City – including Telegraph Hill, Pacific Heights, the Financial District, and South of Market – the areas where people lived and worked at that time.

In the century since then, The City has expanded to the West and the South. But the firefighting water system has not"

This new planet earth, animal type documentary is badASS

Let me guess...the poorer neighborhoods of San Fran are to the west and the south?
