Anonymous Coward User ID: 81140178 United States 05/31/2022 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's the same seismic zone.So yes it's close.And those flashes thx for report. Latest one hit in Newbern, TN (3.1 and 12KM deep). Newbern is only 12 miles due south of ReelFoot Lake. Reelfoot Lake was created by the December 1811 megaquake in that area that caused a subduction area that was filled by the MS river. More quakes happen in that area the pucker factor will greatly intensify for millions of people from St. Louis all the way down to Memphis. The 1811 and early 1812 quakes in that area knocked out glass windows in Greenville, SC and toppled chimneys in Washington D.C. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78619133 United States 06/01/2022 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The New Madrid Seismic Zone, located in southeast Missouri and adjacent states (Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Illinois) is the most seismically active area in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. This zone generated a massive family of quakes between 1811 and 1812 that changed the course of the Mississippi River. Experts believe the New Madrid Zone has been responsible for magnitude 7 to 8 intensity earthquakes about every 500 years over the past 1,200 years. Earthquakes everywhere occur on faults within bedrock, usually miles deep. The earthquakes of the New Madrid Seismic Zone occur within a large network of faults called the Reelfoot rift. The rift formed about 500 million years ago when the region was stretched in the northwest-southeast direction. Along a northeast-southwest zone at least 40 miles wide and 300 miles long, the rocks in the rift were slowly dropped down about 1 mile along some of the faults. Flooding causes road closures around Kansas City area That region is undergoing east-west shortening, and the ancient faults of the Reelfoot rift are being reactivated to generate earthquakes. Presently, the Reelfoot rift and the New Madrid Seismic Zone are 1,200 miles from the nearest plate boundary, which is in the Caribbean Sea. |
