  Yep, the Andreas Fault Line.  That is sure the shaky side of the country.  One of these days it's going to drop off and you will be able to buy a Rocky Mountain Pacific beach front home.   :biggrin:

More like the Queen Charlotte fault line, just north of the San Andreas fault line.

But yeah, it indicates some pretty severe shifting taking place just north of there. . .  :spooked:

The magnitude-2.0 temblor struck at 1:19 a.m. and was centered two miles south-southeast of Ringwood, New Jersey, not far from the border with New York. The depth was 3.1 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

And this one, directly east of the New Madrid Fault line, has the folks in Kentucky worrying about the exact thing I've been posting about here for awhile now. . . What happens when the NMF line burps?

Today's event could actually be an indication of pressure building along that fault. . .  :spooked:

A strong earthquake struck northern Myanmar on Sunday, causing residents to flee their homes, but no injuries or major damage were immediately reported.

The magnitude-6.6 temblor hit the area at 7:42 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake had a depth of just 10 kilometers (6 miles) and hit 117 kilometers (72 miles) north of Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city.

3.6 EQ near Mount Carmel Illinois today. That would be the NM Fault shivering. . .  :eek:

MOUNT CARMEL, Ill. — A magnitude 3.6 earthquake rattled portions of the Tri-State Tuesday evening. Officials with the U.S. Geological Survey said the tremor hit at 5:28 p.m. and was centered approximately six miles west-northwest of Mount Carmel, Ill., or about 38 miles north-northwest of Evansville.

"It was like a big thunder," said Wabash County Sheriff Joe Keeling. "The best way I could describe it — is like it was a big empty coal truck rumbling past my house for about 30 seconds." Keeling says he received no reports of damage or injuries from the tremor. Illinois Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Patti Thompson also said the state had no reports of any damage.

The quake was felt across Southern Illinois and into Southwestern Indiana. It is believed to have originated from the Wabash Valley seismic zone that runs through Southern Illinois and Indiana. Scientists say the Wabash Valley Zone is an extension of the New Madrid seismic zone. The tremor originated from an estimated depth of 10.6 miles within the earth, according to a report by the U.S. Geological Survey.. . .

It has been over 200 years since that NMFL let loose, and in 1811 it is estimated to have been in the 7.0+ range. . .

That fault line burped about 8 years back with a 5.3 or so. . .  :spooked:
