Are there any other mysteries of the universe you want Merrylander to explain to you Hillbilly?

The HS one would've been earlier, maybe even in Jr High, heck the brain cells are dying. My one science teacher said Ohio actually has many small quakes but most aren't 'feelable'.

This is pretty good: http://www.ohiodnr.com/geosurvey/htm...7/Default.aspx

The USGS site is amazing source of information, more than you want to know about almost anything to do with the entire planet.

I have felt the last two we had here in the area - MD VA and one years back in Quebec east of Montreal.

Neither did I, but I hadn't felt one in VA until just a few years ago, either.

Well, according to the Evangelical Christian clowns in my state and yours, earthquakes are caused by anal sex and short-changing the collection plate.

Speaking for myself, I find Robs explanation just a tad more sensible.

I believe they are starting to frack in LA!


The natural gas in under tremendous pressures so is oil for that matter. So one would be foolish not to wounder what will happen when the pressue is messed with. Then knowing human nature as I do, add the quest for a quick profit. Adds up to a disaster that will be of our own doing.

But this will get little attention because we are distracted by issues like Syria and their chemical attacks on fellow countrymen. But we have companies poisoning our land and water, causing earthquakes and it is alright. Because we need the energy.

We've done this before here but why not a nice picture of the children and the raptors living in harmony....
