So.....I just got home last night from a Hockey Tournament. My son plays for the Nashville All Stars.

Guess where the tournament was??????

It was in Missouri.

The first night we were there (fri), it hit me....OMG I AM IN MISSOURI and this is the least state I would want to be in as of now because as a Tennessean and being very familiar with the NMSZ.... I was left to ponder the idea that while I am in town...my luck...the BIG ONE would go down and crack the # up! My oldest son even laughed and said "Did ya feel that mom"? Maybe it was an EQ....totally laughing at me.

SO.....this morning I see that I missed a rumble and hopefully this is not a sign that a bigger one lurks.

This one looks weird! Is it me or does this area just feel and look "off"? Maybe I am just paranoid about the NMSZ, coupled with running a fever.

Apology accepted, though not required, O Mysterious One. Of course now you have said 'Don't ask' I am even more intrigued.

Katla is having tremors: Continued harmonic tremor in Katla volcano which may well come to nothing but is worth keeping an eye on.

Up here in St Louis we did not feel the quake.

NOTE: I am noticing NMSZ quake activity just ahead or behind a front moving though. Just prior to this quake there was a rapid front with storms and wind, Storms at 12 to 1:30 AM, earthquake just before 4 AM. There are a series of storm systems moving though in the next few days, so I would think the next one will be Friday when the cold front moves in.

Minor damages reported but nothing concerning so far.

Quake watchers-pay attention to the fronts and see if there are links to quakes.

Remember, Missouri has had flood/drought on a major scale these past few years and that weakens the ground. Lots of caves with lots of space under there.

Now I am not going to say "Move along, nothing to see." but I would like you consider the answer I gave to someone on another thread. There is this post and the one immediately after it.

Please do go and read it. (Saves me typing it all out again )

It is always a problem when the 'experts' seem to have conflicting viewpoints but hey that is always the case if you think about it. I don't think you can take, as has been done frequently, preparedness exercises as an indicator that something will happen very soon. The Gubbermint can only go on what it is told and it would soon be castigated if no preparations were made or training carried out. If there is a possibility then they have a duty to prepare.

Well, that definitely makes me feel better and uh...can I get that in writing with your autograph at the bottom.

Seriously though, I know it cannot be predicted but it would be NICE to see an aftershock pretty soon...like say...TODAY!

I think this is an aftershock..although I don't watch this area regularly, so no guess as to magnitude. This occurred @ 17:06 UTC; about 10 minutes ago.

Henderson Mound, MO seismo

Any thoughts on "the every 188 day" theory on earthquakes.
There is just too much info on the internet about this.
Does anyone have any information(real science)on this theory? Any links to some of this info to get me in the right direction?
The next 188 days is March 22, 2012...That is from the last quake marked on Sept 15, 2011 in Fiji(7.3)..There is a lot of predictions for a large one on this day. (not that there never is a quake prediction) lol..
Im just interested in reading some more about this...

reply to post by lyons666

Just curious, because tomorrow is the day and its all over the internet"Megaquake march 22,2012

We are still in February Dear

Hmmmm definitely looks as though it is. Nothing reported so far though on USGS. Keep me updated please!!

I am working for the next hour but will be periodically checking until I get off and get home.

Nothing but a theory but it does seem credible. Not sure on the Science but I guess we will know come the 22nd of March if there is anything to it.

Hi folks. Just wondering about the swarm in Turkey/Greece. It's not something I've seen in the year I've been watching quakes. Is it normal? What could be causing it?
