Yeah... I live in Northwest Tennessee about 10 miles east of the Mississippi and 30 miles south of Reelfoot lake that was created during the last New Madrid giant earthquake. Everyone around here knows the terrifying storys from that event.
This is beginning to freak me out!!!
Quoting: Reelfoot I wish I could calm you... but I'm having a hard time calming myself. LOL
I lived through the 7.2 quake, epicentered at Mt. Loma Prieta (CA.) - that I could see from my living room window.
I honestly thought it was the end of the world.
I don't EVER want to experience that again !!
Just prepare... have a plan, just in case. Other than leaving the area, there's actually no other way to handle this warning.
Dutch said that this is only the second time he's packed his truck and been ready to bug out - the first time was 3 days? before the Japan quake & tsunami. He knew something was coming... just wasn't sure where, I guess.
Thanks anyway! Lol I understand!
I'm at work rn but I will be packing the vehicles in the morning. Got to go to the storage to get tents and supplies. Better be safe than sorry.
The tales of the 1810 and 1811 New Madrid quake is all I can think about. Giant fissures opening up and swallowing everything. Many people wrote stories of loosing family and cattle to the open earth.
It was so bad that the natives were cutting down trees to fall east to west because the fissures were opening north to south. In hopes of having something to grab on to in case the earth collapsed beneath them.
